Good grief. Paul wrote a significant portion of the NT. If you’re going to dismiss him like that, you must end up dismissing the NT books he wrote.

FWIW, I find it ironic that Catholics find fault with Scripture like that they claim the Catholic Church fathers themselves wrote.

If the Catholic Church is responsible for writing the NT, then why would they put in so many things that cause so many difficulties for the Catholic Church?

The Catholic Church is now in a position of trying to justify many of its doctrines which cannot be supported by a clear, plain reading of Scripture. If the RC Church held more closely to the Scripture it claimed it wrote, it would have to change its current doctrinal position on things, instead f elevating tradition to equal station as Scripture to justify them.

I don’t dismiss St. Paul. I just don’t like him. Or much of what he wrote.

Why is it you concede infallibility to the canon process of the Church, but not to any other products of Apostolic Tradition?
