I can spot stupidity, that doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes make stupid mistakes, I misread situations all the time. Here though, I am not taking my comment back.

Here's the paragraph which immediately precedes the one you posted:

"Inter Insigniores explains that Jesus did not limit his selection of apostles to men alone because of the culture of his times that did not admit women to leadership positions in society. The document affirms what the record of the New Testament attests to in any case, namely, that Jesus was in no way bound by the culture of his times. In fact, he regularly treated women as the equals of men. The New Testament record clearly shows that women formed a vital part of his following; and were the ones, moreover, who stuck with him at the foot of the cross—just as Mary Magdalen was probably the first witness of the Resurrection."

Here's the question you posed:

Uh dumb argument, what about Mary Magdalen?

Sit up a little higher in your chair so reality doesn't fly so far over your grape.
