One thing a person gets from reading those huge posts that read like a legal brief typically intended to leave the common man reliant on those who wrote it is that Jesus picked the wrong men to follow and be His apostles. The common lowly fishermen are certainly not the type the CC would deem educated or sophisticated enough to be put in those positions. It’s obvious that the CC would think the Pharisees would have been a much better group to choose from.

Compare that long winded diatribe with the simple answer Paul gave the Jailor.

“believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved – and your house.”

Do Catholics think Jesus misspoke when He said “suffer the little children”?

Pharisees. Talking about yourself?

The difference being "fishermen" are fishing for lost souls to come into Christ's Kingdom....CC's are looking for converts to Catholicism to sustain their own kingdom.
