I guess Martin Luther knew better than St. Augustine and 1100 years of Christians after him when he removed said books from the Old Testament canon.

Martin Luther merely returned these books to where they had been in Jerome's Vulgate - they were not to used as inspired works for purposes of doctrine.

Nothing in the Vulgate said what describe. St. Jerome wanted to omit the deuterocanonicals, that is true. What is also true is that Rome slapped him down, and he obeyed.

BTW, there is a very beautiful prophecy of Christ in the book of Wisdom; I believe it's in chapter 2.
