The attractiveness of this article for Catholics has nothing to do with allegiance to Rome but everything to do with historical accuracy. Luther also tried to excise the “Letter of James” and “Book of Revelations from the Bible. So we can judge his actions from his failed activities as even his successors failed to carry through with these wishes.

You need to read objective history by historians who are judged objective by independent scholars. The article presented in this thread fits the characterization of being objective, not tainted with the bias of those who cannot or will analyze with an impartial spirit . Reading objective history will free one from the bias and bigotry which can engulf one who bathes in the morass of self indulgent ignorance.

You agree with this article that the “Apocrypha” was Luther’s idea, and that nobody had previously rejected these books?

Or do you disagree with this article?
