Then Catholics are in no position to be fighting it.
Otherwise, you will be found fighting God.
OTOH, a *No* answer is not going to be forthcoming from Catholics because of the obvious repercussions. They can’t claim the church isn’t being lead by the Holy Spirit.
The problem is, while Jesus DID choose Judas, He did so for one purpose and He tells us that. That Scripture might be fulfilled. And you’ll notice that Judas ISN’T among those who were there on the day of Pentecost.
Nor would Judas be in a position of leadership within the church today as the Holy Spirit through Paul gives us VERY clear cut qualifications for those in leadership within the church, not very many of which are being followed in Catholicism at this point in time, nor have been for a LONG time.
Solomon fell into sin later in his life, but was not in that position when God decided that he should be there, plus, he was not claimed to be head of the church on earth.
So if Our Lord had listened to yourself, St. Paul, and the Holy Spirit, he would have picked different disciples?
If you believe that God is omniscient, then God foresaw all of Solomon’s warts. And my warts. And the warts of every single Pope. And yours too, if you have any. He writes straight with crooked lines.
