I don't understand your privately select apostles to their own choosing statement.
Are you aware of the Catholic church ever selecting a leader from outside the Catholic church? Is that even a practice...or is it rather not the practice? Is that the case or not?
In other words, the Holy Spirit (and the spiritual gifts including leadership) being poured out at Pentecost was upon those of many nations and tongues, not just Catholics. Thus, selecting from anything less than the full scope of the Holy Spirit, makes the Catholic church guilty of practicing in "private interpretation."
