text: So do you keep quiet at Mass when his Epistles are read and it's time to respond "thanks be to God" if you don't believe Paul's writings aren't "the Word of the Lord"?  Personally, I couldn't reconcile a belief Paul didn't write inspired Scripture and the response expected of me at public worship if I thought I knew better than all the Christians who accept the canon of Scripture.
  
  The same Church on whose authority we accept the Gospels as canonical teaches same for the Pauline Epistles, Dei Verbum of Vatican II affirms this...it's not for is to pick and choose which books of the Bible are inspired.
