Judas could not have been baptized, since he committed ѕυιcιdє before Our Lord instituted the Sacrament of Baptism.  He may have received the baptism of St. John, that of repentance, but not the actual Sacrament of Baptism.
Judas had the same opportunities the patriarchs had, and baptism wasn't absolutely necessary at the time, so his was a deep seated dishonesty and perversion of soul that was his undoing.  Perhaps avoidance of the baptism of John was the beginning of it.

As you note, The Passion was a meditation of the Sorrowful Mysteries. The Resurrection will similarly be a reflection on those mysteries. I hope that Mel lives and works long enough to do the Joyful Mysteries.

Also let’s remember that Our Lord was 12 yrs old when He was “lost in the Temple” and Our Lady and St Joseph we’re surprised at where they found Him and His answer.  So, it’s implied His childhood was a normal one, not filled with daily miracles or suspensions of human frailty.

He wasn't "lost IN the Temple" like some clueless child who simply took a wrong turn on the way to the WC or the Holy of Holies.  Mary and Joseph left town as part of the larger caravan and didn't realize He had stayed behind to begin manifesting His wisdom.  They FOUND Him in the Temple, blowing the minds of the so-called Doctors, after they had lost track of His whereabouts travelling home.  "In quinto mysterio gaudioso, Inventionem Domini Nostri Jesu Christi contemplamur..."

No one is implying the performance of a single miracle or suspension of human frailty, so there ends that discussion.

I think Our Lord underwent the same development all human children undergo, and that includes motor skill coordination. There are probably some differences in His development given His divine nature

Reread this and tell me it isn't a bunch of contradictory nonsense.  It's one or the other.

Who taught Him to read and write?  Math?
