Wow Catholics really hate Paul, the man God assigned to be the primary teacher to the NT church .

No, we dislike the deification of Paul. Paul was not assigned to be the primary teacher to the NT church. There is no Scripture to back that up. Paul was a great bishop and evangelizer - that much is plain. But Paul is not the god that the Reformed especially have created while eliminating a goodly portion of his actual writings.

Paul was the apostle and teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles as opposed to being an apostle to the Jews. The NT church quickly became composed primarily of Gentile believers; therefore, the major part of the NT church fell under the teaching authority of the one appointed by God to be a teacher and apostle to the Gentiles

1. Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

2. I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry

3. For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles.

4. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.

Paul's letters were seen by the apostle to the Jews, Peter, as being scripture, the distortion of which in both cases leads to spiritual destruction:

Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
