Nothing to do with what actually happened since you, and so many others, will never spend any time doing actual research and much less reading the Hebrew Scriptures in Hebrew to understand that in the First Century some people used what was used in those Scriptures in order to create a new ideology, a new religion.
The Christian religion is not an ideology - or with other words: We are not a closed system of thoughts turming always only around one or some few points written thousands of years ago. Everyone is able to criticize us - now, here. And you do so.
Saul was a Jew who abandoned Judaism and spent many years hunting down Jews for his new Roman employers.
Paul had the Roman citizenship - but he never worked for the Roman empire. The Romans had different laws for citizens of Rome and for others.
Christianity started with his letters, to his followers.
With the letters of the Christian Paul and other Christians started a complete transformation of all values worldwide.
Paul did not want people to think he started Christianity, he gave all accolades to Jesus. Paul is the one who said that Jesus was a demigod, born of a god and a female woman. An idea which is purely pagan and did not exist in Judaism at all.
Christians are not Jews. And I'm not sure what you speak about in case of Paulus and Jesus. I would say only Muslims could have a problems with Paul because he was a kind of anti-Mohammed 500-600 years before Mohammed came. But why should Jews or Christians have problems with him?
"Doctrinally, in Catholic churches, the pope is regarded as the successor of St. Peter, who was head of the Apostles."

Pope | Definition, Title, List of Popes, & Facts | Britannica
Pope is the title, since about the 9th century, of the bishop of Rome, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. The pope is regarded as the successor of St. Peter and has supreme power of jurisdiction over the Catholic Church in matters of faith and morals, as well as in church discipline and...www.britannica.com
No,
No?
there were no popes in the 1st Century,
Petrus, Linus, Anaklet, Clemens, Evaristus, Alexander ...
and actually the ones who did follow Jesus in his sect
in his universality and humanity
never approved of Paul changing Judaism as much as he did in order to attract people to his ideas, so they would follow him.
Paulus did not change Judaism. He suggested to change the rules for heathens who liked to be Christians - also called "children of god".
But PLEASE, forget all I wrote above since you are not ever going to research any of it, and understand how neither Jesus nor his own sect followers, would never have gone into the Roman Empire and spread things which were clearly not part of Judaism.
Why?
1) It was not Judaism
2). There is no proselytizing
A Proselyt is the opposite of an anti-Semite. We call it a "mission" to tell people from the love of god who don't know that god loves them and that they are also His children - so they don't have to live in fear of life and death.
And are you sure you feel not to have a mission to tell us this all what you tell us here? Why else do you do so?
in Judaism. There never has been, there isn't to this day.
Have a happy Christian life.
We will - hopefully.
God bless you.
