Best Answer
A:The Story of the Deeds of Paul and Thecla originally formed part of the apocraphyl Acts of Paul. The Acts of Paul has been rejected by the Church but, as in normal in any legends that provide evidence of miracles or martyrdom, the Catholic Church accepts the existence of Saint Thecla and of her many trials.

According to Acts of Paul, Thecla had heard Paul preach in Iconium and converted to Christianity. She was condemned to death for retaining her virginity and thus depriving her bridegroom. A basilica was built over her supposed tomb and in Constantinople four churches were built in her honour.

On what island was Paul shipwrecked on his voyage to Rome?

According to Acts of the Apostles, Paul was shipwrecked on the island of Malta on his way to Rome. There is no confirmation in Paul's own epistles of either the appeal to Caesar or the journey to Rome, and Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that some dismiss the account of Paul's hazardous sea journey in Acts 27:1-28:14 as novelistic fiction. On this view, there was no shipwreck on Paul's way to Rome.
