A legitimate point, but I wonder if the alternatives are not simply Catholicism versus evangelicalism ...

Not when St. Paul wrote his Epistle to the Romans. The same holds true today.

Paul's letters were not written as scripture, they were written to address specific issues in the communities he had founded. I think it's an open question whether he would today be more inclined to see his influence reflected more accurately in Catholic or in evangelical communities.
