OLD REGGIE:
Depends how you interpret “What sin did I committ by following the judgement of the Churches” as the extra stories in Daniel that were in question where the ones from the LXX and thus the Deueterocanonical, at least as it relates to the LXX version of Daniel. And it seems that the question here was the version of the LXX that contained tehe stories of Susanah, etc. In no place did he reject the other Deuterocanonicals as by the time that was written, Jerome was already workin on his Vulgate Translation which included the 7 Deueterocanonicals.
In the end, St. Jerome followed the “judgement of the Church” and included the Deueterocanicals that were listed in the “Western Church” in his Latin Vulgate Translation. So perhaps it is your context that is not in line with history. So, in the light of history, it is reasonable to believe that Jerome was defending the inclusion of the Deueterocanonicals in the Canon. Had he only included the stories in the quote you site, then your point may have more validity.
So a question to you, as a Unitarian, why do you even care as you reject the Christological Doctrines of the Catholic and Orthodox CHurch as well, and most Confessional Protestants as well, although there are some here that have some “wackadoo CHristological views” that frequent here.
Not at all. It depends entirely of the claim "7. Jerome calls anyone who claimed he rejected the canonicity of the Deuterocanonicals, “a fool and a slanderer.”
Is, or is not, that a false claim?

Totally irrelevant!

Several responses come to mind, some of them not very polite.
Why do you care what my motivation is?
You are correct in that "...there are some here that have some “wackadoo CHristological views". That observation would include Catholics, Protestants, and others.
You may note my tag "I am a Biblical Unitarian". And no, I have no intention of explaining what that means to me.
