Pope Damasus was given the authority by God to name the Canon

“Then why did he name a canon that not only differed from the Eastern Churches, but one that was later contradicted by the Council of Trent?

Cordially,”

The Canon Pope Damasus decided in 382 is the same as we
have today (except Protestants accepted Luther’s deletions). Share what you have concerning the Council of Trent?

Some Orthodox still question the Book of Revelation. The
Schism didn’t begin until 867, with our pride, people are always going to disagree and from the beginning.

blessings,

No, it is not. Do your homework, I'll give you a hint. 1 Esdras. Septuigint 1 Esdras is not the Hebrew Ezra. The canon decreed at Trent is different with respect to that one D.C. book than the one approved by Damasus.

Fact: The Canon was not officially and authoritatively established for the Roman Church until the 16th century at the Council of Trent, and either they made a mistake with respect to that one Deuterocanonical book. or "Pope" Damasus did.

Cordially,
