It’s irrelevant who determined that Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew once it is determined.
At that point, he is an apostle, and his words are more relevant than anyone else’s words. We are subject to the apostles, not to Cardinal Joe Blow some 2000 years later.
And we have Matthew’s words.

So it would be irrelevant who determined that Peter’s bones were Peter’s bones once it was determined?
“At that point, he is an apostle, and his words are more relevant than anyone else’s words.”
He was an Apostle? Are you sure? Where is it in scripture that it says the author of the gospel was an Apostle? After all, do we know from scripture alone that the Matthew that supposedly wrote the gospel was actually the same person as the apostle of the same name? Post the verse that proves what you claim please.
When you fail to post such a verse - and you will fail — we will know one of the following:
1) sola scriptura doesn’t work or just isn’t enough.
2) there are no such verses
Which is it?
“We are subject to the apostles, not to Cardinal Joe Blow some 2000 years later.”
You are claiming to be subjects of dead men?
“And we have Matthew’s words.”
How do you know Matthew wrote them? Post the verse.
You’ll fail. And you know it too.
