Then why did your church do so much evil in the Middle Ages.

Because Catholics are sinners?

Why did Jesus choose Judas to be an Apostle?

Why did you sell absolvance?

Why do you condemn to Purgatory those who Christ taught between Good Friday and Easter?

Purgatory is a state of purgation or purification prior to entering heaven for those who die with an attachment to sin, but without mortal sin on their souls. It's referenced in Scripture, most notably in 2 Maccabees.

2 Macc. 12:43-45 - the prayers for the dead help free them from sin and help them to the reward of heaven. Those in heaven have no sin, and those in hell can no longer be freed from sin. They are in purgatory. Luther was particularly troubled with these verses because he rejected the age-old teaching of purgatory. As a result, he removed Maccabees from the canon of the Bible.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Why do you condemn the babies that die that could not possibly commit any sin?

The Church does not. The Church hopes for their salvation. There does not exist a definitive teaching on the subject. "Limbo" is a theological speculation.

Why do you not have a Prophet and Apostles?

Not sure what you're referring to here. Do you mean a Pope and Apostles?

See Isaiah 22:22 and Matthew 16:19. Jesus gives Peter the keys of the House of David, of which Jesus is the eternal King. Historically (Isaiah 22:22), the keys represented the office of vice-regent (vice-king). The vice-regent wore the key around his neck. The vice-regent enjoyed full plenary authority in the king's absence, and the key represented his office. In Matthew 16:19, Jesus is appointing Peter to this office.
