Who is St. Paul from Catechism of the Catholic Church and what is their importance?

Paul was an apostle canonized by the Catholic Church. This allows him to be venerated and called upon for assistance but it is imperative that this not be worship as that would be a grievous error.

St. Paul comes up in the Catechism during discourse of the sacraments of healing. He is referred to within the context of the healing works of Jesus the Christ conducted prior to the Resurrection and Ascension.
