THAT’S Sirach??? Sounds more like the Koran.
I’d be embarrassed to even admit that it’s part of the teaching of an organization I admitted being associated with. I found there are some very good reason those books were not included in scripture. The CC only includes them because they also talk about praying to dead, dead praying for them and other doctrines the CC uses to control the masses. Then there are all the historical errors.
