either Roman Catholics have been "catechized correctly" or they haven't.

Apparently many of them haven't been.

That is unfortunately very true. In the case of St. Paul, obviously the Church holds him in exceptionally high regard even among the other Holy Apostles, due to the volume and clarity of his writing. Further, the view that St. Paul is somehow more "protestant" than other inspired authors of the Scripture, -- for example, that in order to teach salvation by grace alone through faith and works the teachings of St. Paul, especially in Romans and Galatians , have to be somehow denied or bent into harmony with other scripture -- is not held by the Church. There is nothing that St. Paul ever said on the issue of salvation, grace, faith, and works that taken alone on its own face value contradicts anything the Church teaches, or other scripture writes, on these subjects.

I believe it does, but at least you do not hate him or think he is nuts
