God allowed Satan to use Judas.

If you wish to gather all data on Judas you should read The Gospel of Judas :

The "gospel of Judas" is not a Gospel at all, but a fictional fantasy dreamed up by some heretical Gnostics, which is why it was never seriously considered as being worthy to be in the canon of the New Testament. Maybe interesting reading for some, but not worth the time of day for the serious student of the Scriptures or church history.

I agree. But it does represent stories of Judas in the 2nd c. And didn't Judas, more than all the other disciples, bring about the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Isn't that important to us today?

But it's off topic. So enough of Judas already. Thanks for your comment Untohim.

Now back to the LC denigrating women leadership.
