Judas was the treasurer for the apostles before Jesus died and rose again.

The church essentially began at Pentecost, when the disciples were infused with power from on high.

Judas was long gone by then and was never baptized in the Holy Spirit as the other 120 were.

that is all very true, I was merely pointing out that the Catholic church picked one out of 26.6 bad guys and Jesus picked one out af 12....a simple numerical comparison...
