Apart from the obvious ridiculousness of that statement, Paul had the personal appointment of Christ himself so I don't see why there should be any objection to use of his inspired letters. Or should they be dismissed as “novelty”?

Paul had the personal appointment of Christ himself so I don't see why there should be any objection to use of his inspired letters. Or should they be dismissed as novelty? Absolutely not. Paul was chosen by God. As bishop of his flock, his letters are absolutely Scripture, but they are of Scripture as those words of the Chronicler. Jesus spoke to us directly in the Gospels. Therefore, there should be a pinnacle of God's revelation - the words of Jesus first and foremost. The words of the NT next. The words of the OT next. This is Scripture. If we do not view the words of men through the Gospels, we cannot claim to be Christians. Catholicism puts our Lord Jesus Christ at the pinnacle. Who do you guys put there?

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
