This is what just galls me: Every single Protestant discussion of the canon or St. Jerome's opinion of the canon excludes his prefaces to the Book of Judith and to the Book of Tobit. Every one. And this, then, is the hope Catholics have for the salvation of Protestants: that they have had no free choice to follow the true Church which Jesus, himself, founded. They have been led astray by "fools and slanderers," who have concealed the truth from them.

Why that sounds just what so many RCs do. I see post after post damning Luther for dissenting from the canon Trent affirmed, as if he was a maverick dissenting from an infallible indisputable canon, rather than scholarly disagreements continuing thru centuries and right into Trent. With the only infallible canon being over Luther's dead body. And such things as that 2Mac. 12 teaches purgatory. Or that presbuteros means priest. Etc. And parroting dubious or misleading quotes from Luther, and presenting him as i we saw him as a pope. And RCs believe them!

Boy, you’re late to the discussion. Try reading the papal bull confirming the Council of Florence, which included bishops representing all but one of the Eastern kingdoms.
