Did St. Paul go around yammering that St. Peter wasn't Catholic? Please, it's totally different.

You're free to respect him, I have very little reason to respect a not-so-lowly Priest, in my estimation.

My Priest has suffered quite a bit because he dared to rebuke my Bishop, but he did it the way a man does it and should do it. Leaving himself unassailable, and much respected by his Parishoners because he conducted himself with honor.

If a Priest talked to me like Fr. Heidt, I'd hightail it out of there, if I could, and find another Priest who understood what Honor is really all about.

Yes, he did. He had a problem with Peter's over association with Jewish custom. Read Acts. It's the same situation.

When searching under +Paul rebukes +Peter, I found something in Galatians, but not Acts. I will consult my Bible later, and feel free to quote Chapter and verse I should be looking at. But here's what I did find:

Galatians
Chapter 2

11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

If this is the text you're referring to, I don't it at all as analagous.
