And why did the Catholic Church choose which gospel was right and which was wrong? What gospels would Jesus accept as his word?

The Scriptures were better written in narrative by others who experienced the life and times of Jesus. Jesus was not illiterate because, even as a boy, He would go to the Temple to discuss ideology with the Priests. He was also a carpenter by trade. That took some concept of measurements, mathematics, geometry, & skills taught by Joseph, his earthly father. The Catholic Church is also a state, run by a government, The Vatican. It has much tradition that Protestant churches abandoned. Both Bibles are different, as is much of its philosophies. The Pope decides what is "right" and "wrong", and Catholics believe he is the awe-spiritually inspired leader of the world Catholic church. If he is compelled to change religious thought, he does it.

We do not know if Jesus wrote any books of the Bible directly. The original texts are mostly lost to us. The Catholic Church had to make decisions on wording in the Bible because the language it was originally written in is not used any longer and the words do not translate perfectly into English or other Latin based laguages. Granted most of the decisions by the cahtolic church were to control people and make money off of them, but even if they had pure intentions a perfect gospel is lost to use forever.

Not only he did not write anything. He did not leave anything of his so that people would not make a relics from it.
There is no need to wite "love one another" you can memorise that I am sure.
It was the Council of Nice that made many "corrections" in twenty-five documents, and some were removed entirely.It was all done under the pretext to give these "new" documents greater meaning and make them more accessible to the common reader*.Now you know why we cannot be sure who and why was written in the Bible.

Good question. The apostles were being taught at the time Jesus was alive. So they did not have the opportunity to do so. As they aged it was holy spirit that helped them to remember the accounts later in their life. Jesus would not have done so because that may of led him to have honor and glory. Remember Jesus taught his apostles to teach everyone to worship his father Almighty God. Jesus never wanted to take glory for himself in that way.

Jesus had no need to write anything. The Church did not decide which Gospels would make it into the BOOK. GOD decided that. So therefoe all Gospels are valid. Why GOD let us read things that are false

This is the Gospel
Jesus wrote it with His blood
1Co 15:1 - 4
Now I am going to make clear to you, my brothers, what the good news was which I gave to you, and which you took, and on which your faith is based,
By which you have salvation; that is to say, the form in which it was given to you, if it is fixed in your minds, and if your faith in it is not without effect.
For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;
And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

He didn't need to write His own Gospel. He had a staff of twelve to do that.

Cause he had people to do it for him, called apostles, people to bring the word and he did it because he wanted to see if people would have faith in him. that is why u have to have faith to enter heaven.
The Catholic did choose what was right and wrong but, the thing is you have to have faith in whatever religion your in and hope to god you chose right.

We all have free will to choose what is inspired by the divine, as far as the Vatican they had a committee of sorts.
