Why did Jesus Christ appoint St. Peter, not St. James the Greater?
I do not understand why the first pope was chosen by the Lord Jesus, Saint Peter, who was, please forgive me for my simple shot, to put it mildly "emotionally unstable"? Why did Jesus Christ not bet on the "hard and wise" apostle, and on the one who seems to be the least suitable for it? Is it God's plan that we have mostly not very good popes? Please, do not take the floor of anti-Catholics who feel they express themselves on any topic without knowing it at all ... At least until there is a possibility to evaluate the answers negatively.
