The things that were said authoritatively were in fact scriptural, because the Apostle Paul was a chosen vessel of the LORD Jesus Christ and it was the Apostle Paul saying them.

Then why don't Roman Catholics LISTEN and HEED Paul?

(Well, the Holy Spirit promptings through Paul.)

Why does the RCC downplay Paul's writings, even explain some of them away, while lifting up Peter and James?

That’s always been my question: why downplay Paul’s writings and his Christ-given role as Apostle to the Gentiles? Especially after studying Gal.2:2,9? It would seem the RCC would have a better shot claiming Paul as their first pope rather than Peter, who, along with the 11, agreed to confine their work to Israel while Paul went to the Gentiles.
