text: You conflate the authority of theologians/historians with the Magesterium of the Church.
  
  An analogy:
  
  Often times the SCOTUS makes some very bad decisions.  They use very bad and very stupid arguments to support those decisions.  Roe V. Wade is but one of numerous examples.  Their arguments are so bad and stupid--it does not even take a lawyer to drive a truck through them.  Even a person without training in law could drive a truck through them.  That does not unmake the decision, that does not change the decision.  The decision is what it is, no matter how bad it is and no matter how stupid the arguments used to support it.
  
  Whether the Vatican uses good or bad arguments to support their statements, whether theologians can drive a truck through them, whether we like it or not, they, like the justices, have the authority to judge between competing opinions and arguments and render decisions.  That is how it works.  Some decisions are irreformable.  Women's ordination is one of them.
