I’m confused by references to Paul as an apostle; Christ certainly had the chance to reach out to him while He was preaching, and never did (this was when Saul was abetting those persecuting Christians). Paul wasn’t at the Last Supper, and using any logic to include him with those chosen by Christ fuels those who want Mary Magdalene included as well.
Well, Mary didn’t go around preaching the Gospel. Paul met Christ face to face on the road to Damascus and was chosen directly by Him to suffer for His name. That definitely makes him an Apostle.
