He is ultimately still under the sovereignty of God, but he is also ultimately responsible for what he did. The Bible does not play down each individual's responsibility because of the fact that God is sovereign and he is in control of everything. Jackie,

Judas betraying Jesus might be part of God’s salvation plan, but it does not remove the sinfulness of the deed he has done. He is ultimately still under the sovereignty of God, but he is also ultimately responsible for what he did.

The Bible does not play down each individual’s responsibility because of the fact that God is sovereign and he is in control of everything.

Judas, good or bad, is an intrigal part of our salvation - without him betraying Jesus, we would never have been saved. And Jesus knew in order for Gods will to be done, and our souls to be saved, that he had to be betrayed; so even if he did ask Judas to betray him, he was only ensuring that God's will was going to be done. I dont see Judas as an evil man, only an important part of a wonderful act of sacrifice performed for us. I dont see what all the fuss is about!

They care about it just as much as they care about Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. Whether they care about the truth is another matter, but people love this kind of stories, and media is happy to supply lots of them. @felixt – Of course people care!
