What's interesting is that the debate is over books the RCC chose to include, as opposed to non-Catholics choosing to add books.
The biggest criticism that can be offered to non-Catholics in their acceptance of the Protestant Bible is that it does not include enough, that it is more conservative if you will, than what the Catholic Bible contains.
In essence, non-Catholics are being criticized and condemned for not going far enough even though what they reject was never recognized as Scripture by the Jews.
Not only that but I have asked Catholics here repeatedly what those books contain that makes them SO sure they are Divinely revealed and sacred Scripture. No replies. Do any of these books contain distinct and unique prophecies that Christians NEED to know about? Are there commandments of God not found anywhere else that Christians MUST obey to be Godly men and women? Just what is in these books that convinces a Catholic that they deserve the same recognition of authority as, say, Deuteronomy or Romans? I have yet to hear any answer other than "it's what we believe" and that's not good enough. It wasn't good enough for the Jews, unto whom were given the "Oracles of God", when these books were appended to the Old Testament. Shouldn't we at least honor something they contributed to our Judeo-Christian heritage?
