We are the Catholic Church without regard to who is and who is not circumcised; we, in fact, are the only community of faith that prays with regularity to the conversion of the Jews, who need to open their eyes to the reality of Christ’s Gospel.
Divisions of labor and of opinion always existed in the Church and they exist today; popes from time to time have a particular focus (e.g. we remember John Paul II especially for his focus on achieving spiritual victory in the Cold War). To have a focus on the conversion of the Jews, the group uniquely prepared, as it seemed, to accept Christ, was natural. We can see examples of tension even between Sts Paul and Peter in the passage you brought up and in 2 Peter 3:16. However, the Catholic Church since the Pentecost and to this day is a single Church, it is not a church of St. Paul or of St. Peter, but rather of all the saints.

Are you implying the Catholic Church’s foundational truths are not based on just the teachings of St. Paul or St. Peter but are based on the teachings of all the saints.?
