The Catholic Encyclopedia is not "official" Catholic Teaching. Even so, rather than cut & paste, will you explain what it actually says, including an explanation of the numerous footnotes? The world awaits!

Catholic Teaching - The Catechism of The Catholic Church.

600 To God, all moments of time are present in their immediacy. When therefore he establishes his eternal plan of "predestination", he includes in it each person's free response to his grace: "In this city, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place." For the sake of accomplishing his plan of salvation, God permitted the acts that flowed from their blindness.

Actually I think that you’ve done a good job all by yourself.

I bet you didn’t know that you had it in you.
