A:The Epistle to Titus was written in Paul's name but not actually written by Paul. Titus is one of the Pastoral Epistles, so named because it dealt with pastoral issues that had arisen in the second century. In ancient times, it was common to attribute a new work to an illustrious predecessor in order to gain greater acceptance and therefore obedience to the instructions contained in the book.

Another thought:

According to The Bible, yes, Paul wrote the letter to Titus (Titus 1:1+4)to encourage and instruct him on how to deal with the Cretan congregations, which tended to be a rebellious (Titus 1:10+11). Paul encouraged Titus to severely reprove those doing wrong and set a good example for the 'flock' (Titus 1:12-3:2). The council is still good for those taking the lead in worldwide congregations today.
