No, Catholics hate (or at least we’re supposed to hate) the way the doctrines taught by St. Paul are twisted and used against their purpose. So yes, sometimes he’s a pain in the backside because people bend his teaching into every conceivable shape... St. Peter warned about that, and it wasn’t an idle warning having no basis in reality.

As for personal preferences based on his writing style, I think that’s up to the individual. The Church doesn’t require that we like the personality of the Sacred Writers and St. Paul revealed much of himself. He doesn’t have to be likeable to be right. Jeremiah would probably drive me crazy too but being a prophet of God doesn’t mean being a nice guy with whom I’d enjoy an evening discussing hobbies.

Peter called Pauls writings SCRIPTURE. So Without twisting please show us where Jesus or Paul or Peter taught the role of Christ was only to open heaven so we can earn or work get in.

Please use only Paul, Jesus or Peter in context

Thanks
