Paul is subordinate to Jesus because Paul is a person, & Jesus is God. No one or no thing is superior to God.

AnswerIt is not correct to assume that Paul is second to Jesus, in reality Peter was second to Jesus and Paul was second to Peter. If you read closely the final passages of The Bible you may note that Jesus says: "Peter onto you I shall build my church..." or something of the sort, this entitled Peter as the first of popes. Thus Peter was in fact superior to Paul. Nonetheless Paul had a powerfull and everlasting impact on Catholics and Christians around the world.
