The reality is the fact that the Holy Apostles and the prelates of the Church today are sent by the Holy Spirit as Christ to us.

No, not in that distant sense. Jesus spoke directly to Paul, as He met with and spoke to Moses in the same way. As I commented before, Paul learned his doctrine from the risen Jesus, not from the Eleven, nor even from Peter alone (Galatians 1).

I appreciate your thoughts, I really do, but this discussion is getting a bit off the initial tract. Jesus and Paul never met. There is no proof that they did meet. We can say all we want about them meeting spiritually, and Paul being directed as born again believer etc. I don’t doubt that, but thankfully, they didn’t meet before Christ’s death. Because Paul in his non Christian period of life hunted down Christians and prosecuted them.
