By the way the so called apocrypha (Deuterocanical books) were in this book because Martin Luther hadn’t been born yet to decide that they were not in the “bible”. Scripture IS Catholic.

By the way, the Jews, God's chosen people had rejected the Catholic apocrypha as any part of scriptures long before the first pope showed up...

All of Catholicism is founded in scripture - each and every doctrine is completely scriptural, and it is a Protestant myth that Catholics neither study or understand the bible.

Couldn't be further from the truth...There is no doctrine teaching Mary was sinless...There is no doctrine that Mary provides healing, salvation, peace, comfort or any of the other things your religion applies to the doctrine of Marianism...

“Jews, God’s chosen people had rejected the Catholic apocrypha...”

Not until AFTER they were no longer the authority. By the way: Jesus and His apostles certainly had NOT rejected the deuterocanonical books. Jesus Himself directly quotes from them and the apostles do as well. If they were good enough for Jesus, they are good enough for Catholics, myself included.

Also - the Old Testament canon used by Jesus and the apostles was the one in use from 250 BC that included the so called apocrypha.

The Jews did not settle their canon until the first century AFTER Christ was crucified. The Jews specifically got rid of the deutorocanonical books at this time because they were being used as a tool to convert people to Christianity.

Christians should not use Jewish decisions that were made after the resurrection because the Old Law was gone. This is biblical - Jesus is the new wine - the old law has passed away.

The Eastern Orthodox church, a group that has nothing to do with Rome, accepted the deuterocanonical books: also the first original German translation included them as well (before Luther did his manmade “editing”).

Mary was full of Grace - that equals sinless - it is perfectly scriptural!!
