The earliest discussions of the Bible canon (second and early third century) show that the apocryphal writings were not accepted as part of “all scripture” and even Jerome rejected these extra-Biblical writings as part of the Canon.
Maybe that’s what’s being hid from you by someone since you seem not to know it (or are you “hiding your light under a basket’)?

St. Jerome's translation of the Vulgate includes all 73 books.
