Paul never mentioned gapping spark plugs either, but regarding basic Christian doctrine, he all but wrote the whole book. To think that thinks about a "pope" and "Marianism" would have escaped his attention is just plain deceitful.

Actually, Mary's and Peter's role were already accepted in the early Christian community. Paul's silence simply confirmed his own acceptance of their importance.
