Hi everyone, I’m new, also new to Catholicism and in RCIA right now, trying to absorb as much as I can. 👋

I decided to post a thread because I was wondering if the apostles represent more than meets the eye according to Catholics. I find it mysterious that every time Judas Iscariot is mentioned, so is the fact that he betrayed Jesus. Could the apostles be representative of 12 groups of followers in latter days or anything?

Thanks.🙂

No. But there were 12 partriarchs of the 12 tribes, so that could be a parallel.

Actually, by Byzantine reckoning, there were the Apostles of the 12 and those of the 70.
