...you really believe the eleven chosen apostles were confused?

Don't know what to call them; ill-informed? Impatient?

Matthias, whom the Eleven selected, isn't mentioned again in the New Testament but Paul, who encountered Jesus Christ in Person and was called by Jesus Christ by name and not by number, certainly is.

Why would someone elevate St. Matthias as an Apostle of Jesus over Paul, who you seem to relegate to a lower position of Authority and Calling in Christ's Church?

Most of the chosen apostles are not heard from, they were probably out preaching the Gospel as they were told to do.

That's because he was standing too close to Mary when Scotty beamed HER up into heaven!
