The books were still used as part of the Church’s liturgy. But the Church settled the question in response to the challenge from the “reformers.”

Who gave the Roman church the authority to add to the Jewish Scriptures?

"Who gave the Roman church the authority to add to the Jewish Scriptures? "

ROTFLMAO !!!!

The Catholic Church adopted exactly what the Apostles preached from, the Septuagint, that's what the Latin Vulgate Bible is, a translation of the Septuagint into Latin!! The fact that Jews later changed it to keep people from being won to Christ by the powerful teaching and clear prophesies of Christ in the books they removed is meaningless. Or, are you going to throw out the New Testament because they're not part of the Jewish Scriptures?

ROTFL, yeah baby, hang in there and contradict yourself some more. You throw out books that were in the Scriptures the Bereans used and whine about the Catholic Church using the very same thing the Bereans used but next thing you know you'll be praising the Bereans again!!! Would you like some A1 sauce with your foot or do you like just keeping it in your mouth without garnish of any sort other than the polish and decals you used to put little pictures of Hello Kitty on your tootsies?

Do you not really get it? It is not the Roman Church (which leads me further in speculation that you were never Catholic at all), but it was the Church of the Apostles, using the Septuagint, that determined the canon of the OT. Jews don't get to add or delete from Christianity.

I view this as simply more antiCatholicism.
