Slight differences?

How about complete removal of books?

Nobody removed anything.

Luther translated everything, even the books that WEREN’T recognized as CANON at the time by the Catholic church itself.

He included them in a separate section.

From a Catholic source...

“In the 16th century, Martin Luther adopted the Jewish list, putting the Deuterocanonical books in an appendix. He also put the letter of James, the letter to the Hebrews, the letters of John, and the book of Revelation from the New Testament in an appendix. He did this for doctrinal reasons (for example: 2 Maccabees 12:43-46 supports the doctrine of purgatory, Hebrews supports the existence of the priesthood, and James 2:24 supports the Catholic doctrine on merit). Later Lutherans followed Luther’s Old Testament list and rejected the Deuterocanonical books, but they did not follow his rejection of the New Testament books.”

But don’t let the facts get in the way of an agenda if you don’t want to believe it but would rather attempt to slander Luther to the world.
