"If by “Magisterium, you mean...”

I have no desire to continue this pointless discussion. Your opinions on which Scripture the Catholic Church decides to call canon, including deuterocanonical or even the "third canon" mentioned by St. Jerome, are of no consequence. After nearly 1700 years there ois no chance the Church is going to change its canon.

In fairness, which documents Protestantism assembles under their own authority, into a bound volume is of no more concern to me than the contents of the Guru Granth Sahib or the Book of Mormon, except to the degree to which they coincide with the Catholic canon or affirm a universal truth.

Peace be with you

“I have no desire to continue this pointless discussion.”


Well of course you don’t. If I was a Papist and couldn’t back up any of my obnoxious comments, I’d not want to continue the discussion either.

“After nearly 1700 years”


1700 years from Jerome? Not even Pope Gregory, 200 years later, held those books to be inspired, though they were included. I think you mean 500 from Trent, which is when they were officially declared to be something that they weren’t before.

” contents of the Guru Granth Sahib or the Book of Mormon, “


Well, we all know that’s just an expression of your prejudice, not an actual analysis of any evidence.
