"The Apocrypha writings are rejected as canon for a number of reason including..."

The question is: Who had the authority to reject anything as canon after they had been part of the Christian canon for 1000 years before Luther?

They never were part of the canon for the 1000 years you claim.

Strange isnt it? 1000 yrs later some mentally ill Priest claims books in the Bible are not. Again, by what authority? He had none.

There is a difference between 'authority' and 'power'.

Today's question is: Who had the authority to reject the very words of Jesus when He stated:

"Call no man father"?
