Without a particular subject in mind, comparing any of God's word to any other of God's word is as useful as comparing Hanzo swords against each other. You just shouldn't do it. :) God did not have bad days and good days when authoring His word. The light of God's word is the entirety of God's word.
My opinion of Paul is my opinion of Paul. I speak for no one else, certainly not the Catholic Church. The fact that I do not like him does not mean that I throw him out. I just don't like him.
That's right, and I offered my opinion that you are not alone in your opinion. :) I just mean that I have seen SOME (not all) other Catholics post similar comments to yours, and that these differ in approach from those of Mark (and I'm sure others). I don't remember Mark ever saying anything to the effect that he didn't like Paul, but that he liked him just fine when read in a certain way.
Yet, until the innovations of the Reformation, nobody even remotely thought that Jesus was unimportant in the scheme of things. The Church considered, and always has, the quotations of Jesus to be superior to any words ever uttered by man. It's a recognition of God thing.

I like Paul just fine, when I have the teachings of Jesus first and foremost. Read through the words of Jesus. Again, it's a recognition of God thing. We Catholics have a predilection to recognize God. Not the man made concoctions that litter the landscape, but the age-old recognition of God that the Faith has handed down for 2000 years.
