There is also John 20:21 which would be for Catholic missionaries.

In Matthew the great commission was conspired by the angel of light because there are no mountaintop events for the risen Jesus for whom spiritual highs are a thing of the past. So there is no place for the risen Jesus in Galilee wherefore it must have been the angel of light who escorded these holy rollers into action while even in the absense of faith.

If you compare this with John you will find that the event must take place in the upper room (instead of Galilee) where there is no place for religion as such. It was and still is there that the stigmata is given to those who are send in his name so the spirit of God can go before them wherever they go. This would make them Jesuit by nature in the likeness of Jesus (or Paul) who's only burden was and still is the love for his fellow man.
