Paul was given a very clear and simple mission; to spread the Word of God to the Gentiles. His mission was to teach, it was not to revise, redact, modify, extend or add new revelation. Catholics interpret everything Paul writes in the context of supporting the Synoptic Gospels. For Catholics the words spoken directly from Christ these Gospels can stand alone, Paul's letters cannot.

So then the church affirms it is almost inspired ,right? Well at least the parts that fit the doctrine according to tradition..

We have already arrived at the fact the gospels do not have the exact words spoken by Christ but that each writer was inspired to recount sometimes differing accounts..

Catholics are something..yea Paul is a 'saint" but he taught false doctrine.. yea the bible is infallible except when they do not think it is, then tradition takes over.. of course all the "fathers " did not agree and sometimes they were wrong, but they know they were right sometimes..

A religion built on sand..

Paul's teachings and writings were completely inspired, just bounded by the Gospels.

"yea Paul is a 'saint" but he taught false doctrine.."

Paul is a Saint who taught a completely true doctrine. It is the heretics who came later, elevated his status to one he would never assume unto himself, and perverted his teachings that bear the sin.
