Super, two technical quibbles:
1. Until 1917 there were "lay cardinals" that had minor holy orders, below that of deacon.
2. We recently had a cardinal that was not a bishop, Avery Cardinal Dulles, son of John Foster Dulles. He requested, because of age (he was over eighty when elevated), not to be elevated to the episcopate. He died just over a month ago.
You are impeccably correct that when Paul wrote, there was no canon, and no Bible as we thing of it.
