The Jews don’t accept the deuterocanonical books, the early Christian fathers declared them inspiration but not on the same level as scripture, and the Protestants rejected them as extra writings. The only ones who ever accepted them was the Council of Trent 1500 years later.

Facts are a nasty thing.

...and Synod of Hippo included them: Synod of Hippo. So it cannot be true that "the early Christian fathers declared them inspiration but not on the same level as scripture". What the Jews and the Protestants did has nothing to do with Christianity. Them's the facts.
