one quibble,
I don’t believe the Vatican decided the Canon. I don’t believe the Vatican control of Christendom was that accomplished at that point. AMEN! I've been preaching that for over 40 years. A study of Church History verifies it abundantly. The term "Catholic", applied specifically to a organization under the auspics of a single leader - or chain of leadership, the Papacy - is, to put it mildly, arrogance! The word in its original sense is the Church built on the fact that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Denying this, by applying it to an earthly man, is a denial that this Church is universal.

Thanks for your kind reply and perceptiveness. You are right, of course.

You are right, but for the wrong reasons. The Canon was set in Carthage by an Ecumenical Council.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
