Faith by itself without works is dead. When one is saved by faith the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will produce works. The works part is the Holy Spirit working through us. It remains that it was the faith that saved.

Jesus and Paul indeed extolled the virtue of clelebacy. They did not however require it. Paul, in fact, gave instructions that leadership need first prove fit by having successfully raised a family.

God indeed renaimed each of those men. Jesus also said that none of them was the leader of the others. In fact the Catholic Church itself admits that it was Jesus being the son of God upon which the church is built.

Now, about the apostles teaching the assumption of Mary.

Okay, so sola fidei is false. If sola fidei were true, then Faith by itself would not be dead. Remember demons have faith.

Where?

Jesus also said that none of them was the leader of the others.

Then why does he specifically ask Peter to feed his sheep?
