You will find the Council of Trent (among their other faults) add the Apocrypha to the scriptures. This was contested by the early church fathers who did not believe these writings to be fully inspired and properly relegated it to an Appendix. The early church fathers-especially the Hebrew church fathers-never recognized these writings as "inspired".

The Church today has lost all distinction between inspired and unispired writings.

Where in the Bible does it say these books are not inspired, is there an inspired table of contents, or must you look at Tradition to determine what is inspired? And if you look at Tradition when did it end? (i.e. why are you following hebraic christian conceptions of canonical authority but not later church councils? Does it say in the bible that these “hebraic” christians were the final word on the determination of inspired works? (of course you can’t and of course this did not happen because Tradition would itself be extra-biblical, but if Tradition exists, then it has never ended-by definition, but how else then?)
