No, and allend didn't say that either. I fact he said the Church does not use this Scripture. The argument is not from a "line" of Scripture, but rather from the entire idea of Jesus selecting His apostles from the male side of the aisle. We just follow His example. Surely if the Lord wanted to have female apostles He would have.

Oh! I see! And Jesus selected only celibate Apostles. That explains the "tradition" that the clergy must be celibate. Surely if the Lord wanted to have married apostles He would have. AH SO!!!

You misunderstood my post. There are around 250 doctrines which have been solemnly defined, making them Extraordinary Magisterium. However, even the Ordinary Magisterium is infallible. The statements on the ordinary level are too numerous to attempt to count.

I'm more confused than ever. Am I to understand that "Infallible" doctrines are "too numerous to attempt to count"?
