This is your entire problem with your argument --- "can and are" doesn't ***remotely*** mean ALWAYS ARE.
But we can keep playing "dictionary" games if you want --- since you won't address the point(s)...
And HERE is one of the problems with what Rome teaches:
Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema.
--Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1
' in the primacy over the whole Church' canNOT be found in the bible.
