"The Bible is a "non-all inclusive compendium?" What Christian believes things like that?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 120, states; "It was by the apostolic Tradition that the Church discerned which writings are to be included in the list of the sacred books."
Note that the Catholic Bible, which contains more writings than yours, is a more complete compendium.

I love the way the link says "The Bible proclaims its own authority" -- it's pure circular logic: Why is The Bible authoritative? Because it says so.
The Re-formatted statement falls on it's face. In contrast, the Church position is that The Bible is justified due to the tradition surrounding it.
