Paul does not cease being a Jew, and we might even say that, since the Law—properly read— ends in obedience to Jesus, that Judaism is the only true religion. Our God is the God of Abraham , Issac and Jacob, not the god of the philosophers, of Plato and Aristotle, as Pascal remind us. Since the beginning, there have always been those who, like Marcion, wants us to cut out ties to the Jews. But here we are and here they are.

"Paul does not cease being a Jew..."

This remark and those following are peculiar. What are you driving at? Our original discussion was about the RCC holding onto elements of the Law after it was done away with. Those elements, papalism (chief priest), sacerdotalism (priesthood), sacraments (sacrifices), cathedrals (temples) were all shadows of the real thing, Jesus, but have been wrongly continued. You accused Protestantism of the same thing. Does this mean that you concur that the Law is gone, but certain groups (including Rome) are holding onto a Christian/Jewish hybridism?

The thread is about the KJV tipping its hat to the Apocrypha, thereby authenticating the Catholic version of the Bible. I simply said they don't even follow the Bible they claim to have delivered. That claim still stands in spite of the obscure remarks you have made.
