You do know, I trust, that the fellows who decided which books made up the canon of scripture in the bible you thump, what was in, what was out, I’ll trade you Hebrews for Revelation, those guys, were a group of Greek and Latin speaking bishops...who venerated icons!

That is like the security guard outside the mall claiming to own it.
No human beings “decided” what would be in the holy canon of scripture. No human being kept God’s word from being destroyed. Because the message of the Bible is the word of God, it is impossible to destroy. And even when leaders of your religion tried to dilute the scriptures with phony writings and altered texts, the actual scriptures emerged unscathed. And even when the leaders of your religion had people burned at the stake for translating the scriptures and printing them in the common language of the people, God preserved His word and enabled men like William Tyndale to do His work before being martyred by the leaders of your religion who were too busy having orgies and setting up houses of prostitution to care about the common people hearing the word of God.
If you want to claim credit for what your religion under the supposedly infallible leadership of continuous succession has done, then take credit for the whole ball of wax.
