See? In your own words, you tell us that the Epistles are more important than the Gospel because they follow the Gospels and therefore are better or more important. This is not Christianity, and never has been. That is Paulianity and has been condemned as heresy by a number of different Councils as a part of a number of overall heresies.
It's a kind of replacement theology with Paul replacing Christ. Christ's whole ministry, gone.

To me this is just additional evidence that the handful here are far off the mark of both Catholicism and Protestantism, orthodox Christianity as a whole. And, if they add Calvinism to this replacement theology, it's far enough astray to be a different religion. While claiming Christ, they are still as far off, in a different direction, as JW, LDS, Oneness Pentecostals.

No one here but you guys ever say anything about Paul replacing Jesus or that Christ's ministry is "gone". You cannot produce even one post from anyone here that comes anywhere close to saying that. Your accusations are groundless and yet you continue to complain that "we" misrepresent the Catholic religion doctrines. It may give you comfort to presume what you believe is superior to anyone else, but I stand with other Christians here and proclaim proudly that Jesus Christ is my Lord, God and Savior and I am saved by the grace of God through faith in Christ apart from any works I do. To teach contrary to that is a false gospel, condemned by God. I pray you see the truth especially during this season of celebrating the birth of our Savior - Immanuel, God with us - Jesus Christ.

Yup, to them Jesus is just window dressing. The good stuff, consisting of Paul is the core content.
