Another answer from our community:

Thirteen epistles in the New Testament are attributed to the Apostle Paul. Of these, 7 are regarded as having really been written by Paul (Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians): these are often called the Pauline epistles. The 6 epistles that most scholars believe were not really written by Paul are called the pseudo-Pauline epistles.

What is a Catholic epistle?

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Epistles are those epistles of St. James, St. Jude, St. Peter, and St. John. They are so called because they are addressed to everyone, and not to a particular person or church as the epistles of St. Paul were.
