St. Jude Thaddeus, together with his brother James, formed part of the twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ.
It is said that Jesus Christ invited his apostles to become fishers of men instead of fishermen. However, even before Jesus Christ grew up into maturity and began his mission of teaching God's word, He is already connected with St. Jude.
The mother of St. Jude Thaddeus, Mary, is the sister of the Blessed Virgin Mary; making Jude and James cousins of Jesus Christ.
Though the actual call to St. Jude of becoming an apostle was not written, it is assumed that Jesus met St. Jude in family gatherings like the wedding in Cana where Jesus performed his first miracle.

Plato rejected Athenian democracy on the basis that such democracies were anarchic societies without internal unity, that they followed citizens' impulses rather than pursuing the common good, that democracies are unable to allow a sufficient number of their citizens to have their voices heard.
