>> “Using Protestant logic...” <<

.
What ever happened to using the commandments that Yehova gave us in the scriptures?

That is how we know who and what a pastor is, and what a marriage is.

The Papists fail completely on both issues by that simple test.

Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Sola Scriptura!

Deuteronomy 12:32
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Sola Scriptura again!

Revelation 22:18-19
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Sola Scriptura again!

Is there a pattern here?

Yes, oral traditions are an abomination that violates these commandments.

Sola Scriptura is nonsense. There has always been a separate, oral Tradition. You're taking verses out of context. (It might also be worth noting that 2 out of the 3 proof-texts that you reference are found in the Old Testament.)
"The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." - 2 Timothy 2:2 (NASB)
"So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." - 2 Thessalonians 2:15 (NASB)
Also, read what John Henry Newman said about the fact that Protestants have and follow their own traditions, unwittingly or not: link
