All you can do and have done is to try to move the goal posts by focusing on the general acceptance of the canon before Trent affirmed it, but which does not make it infallible and thus indisputable.

And your attempt to equate it to Nicea and the doctrine of the Trinity is invalid because officially esteemed scholars like Luther’s adversary Cardinal Cajetan (who following Jerome, expressed doubts concerning the canonicity of Hebrews, James, 2 and 3 John, and Jude, stating of the latter three, “They are of less authority than those which are certainly Holy Scripture”), were not seen or treated like Arian heretics by Rome.

Sippo’s idea of an infallible decree makes a mockery of the binding force of them, or rebels out of such esteemed scholars. But the fact is that the first infallible indisputable decree Trent’s occurred over Luther’s dead body, and he did not arbitrarily removed the Deuterocanonical books from Scripture.

Those are the facts, and it is no wonder you want no more reminder of them. I posted links which you refused to look at, and then wanted no more than a cursory analysis from me of your tome from Sippo, so indeed it is “Time to move on to something else.”

May God in His grace peradventure give you and like souls repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. (2 Timothy 2:25) AS He has been gracious to me.

Not at all. You should admit that you don't understand the teachings of Catholicism and therefore your arguments are strawman

Perhaps you should focus on something else rather than anti Catholicism and you would realize a true meaning of love
