text: I deal with these pieces every day.  I am a church historian.  And I don't work alone.  The best names in biblical scholarship have examined these very issues.  The very fact that the Gospel spread as rapidly as it did both east and west, that it began rituals and liturgical practices all over northern Africa, the mid-East and Europe---was miraculous.  But we can no more pin down any of the Twelve celebrating a liturgy than we can determine how Linus became the 2nd Pope.  
  
  And we cannot insist that Jesus ORDAINED any of the Twelve as Priests. Or that Jesus who operated as the only rabbi who welcomed women into this company of learners/disciples would not enable women, among his most FAITHFUL of disciples, to celebrate this gift for his followers.
