Yes, it was a doctrinal issue that was resolved at the Council of Jerusalem. The Protestant view is that Peter made his case and that James decided the issue. The Catholic view is that Peter laid out the doctrine and James implemented it. So when people come from James and induce Peter into sinning, does he complain to James? No! He complains to PETER... because Peter has authority over James and should have told James’ people to shove off!
