In the same vein, why are they all mad at Judas, who Jesus obviously knew he would do what he did and sent him to to it, because it had to happen.

Funny enough, if I remember my Catholic grandmother correctly, Judas's real sin according to the Catholic Church was that he hanged himself, since suicide is a sin. The betrayal was no big deal in comparison, since it was all Part Of The Plan.

I think I recall that as well.

There is also "the gospel of Judas" rediscovered in the 1970s where if I remember right, Judas explains how Jesus told him to do it.
