Let me simplify this for you,dear friend

What you don’t seem to realize is that when the deutercanonical books were mentioned in Church councils and read in liturgy for 1500 years prior to Trent they automatically are considered INSPIRED Scripture by the Church before the Council of Trent, so don’t bother to post me your next analysis.

I wish you a Blessed Evening

What you don’t seem to want to realize is that "the proximate and ultimate criterion is the infallible decision of the Church in listing its sacred and canonical books....The Council of Trent definitively settled the matter of the OT Canon. That this had not been done previously is apparent from the uncertainty that persisted up to the time of Trent." (New Catholic encyclopedia - Volume 3 - Page 26) Catholic University of America - 2003

Either you dam all those who Rome did not condemn for different views, even within Trent (which apparently included an informal vote of 24 yea, 15 nay, with 16 abstaining (44%, 27%, 29%) as to whether to affirm it as an article of faith with its anathemas on those who dissent from it) or you accept that the canon issue had not been truly settled, and Luther was not a maverick in his relegating books as doubtful, after a traditional manner.
