Answer: As a Roman Catholic the answer to this is very simple : God chose these simple and poor men to be his friends / followers whom we refer to as Apostles.

Catholics believe in saints and they believe that they are in heaven with the Holy Father and praying on our behalf. So praying to saints also gives us favours what we ask for. They are the people chosen by God himself and we are no one to deny God's wish. Others, who are not believers, do not pray to them
