Best Answer

The letters of Paul make up most of the New Testament. He is writing guidance and encouragement to many churches throughout the area. His ideas on meeting and conducting services are instrumental in the worship of many Christians.

Paul was a Roman citizen and when arrested demanded to be taken to Rome to be tried. This move of his is the one major thing that made Christianity advance through Europe.

Probably the greatest Christian missionary was St Paul, and so I suspect St Paul is the person you are enquiring about. Many churches are dedicated to him too - the most famous being St Paul's Basilica in Rome (where St Paul is buried) and St Paul's Cathedral, London.

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. Two of St. John's Epistles were addressed to a particular person, but they are always grouped together and thus are label "Catholic Epistles" with his other Epistle.
