Paul was at the Council of Jerusalem. He agreed with Peter about reaching out to the gentiles. And he recognized Peter’s authority as the leader of the Council to release gentile converts from purely ritual Jewish laws.

Do you understand that Peter had been guilty of the practice the council was called to address ?

He separated himself from the gentiles ..and Paul had to confront Peter on this .. face to face (Galatians 2:11-21)

Peter did not 'call the council" nor did he lead it.. James was the leader as the Bishop of Jerusalem ... ( the seat of the church was in Jerusalem ..not Rome) ...Guess that makes James the REAL FIRST POPE HUH??

It was James that announced the final decision ...not Peter ..

Can and Catholic read the scriptures with understanding?...GEEEEE

Are you sure you have read Acts of the Apostles? Check this out, for it disproves your statement in my opinion.

Reading 1 Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48

When Peter entered, Cornelius met him
and, falling at his feet, paid him homage.
Peter, however, raised him up, saying,
“Get up. I myself am also a human being.”

Then Peter proceeded to speak and said,
“In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.
Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly
is acceptable to him.”

While Peter was still speaking these things,
the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.
The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter
were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit
should have been poured out on the Gentiles also,
for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God.
Then Peter responded,
“Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people,
who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?”
He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
