You're really grasping there. Particularly since Catholicism discourages parishioners from reading Scripture themselves and tell them to trust Church tradition.
How perfectly ironic! Catholic source, please?
Yes. They encourage the 5 non-canonical books that were added to the Bible.

The early Christian Church used the Alexandrian (Greek) canon. The Jews who rejected Christ used the Hebrew canon. Which one would you want to use? I'll pick the one Jesus used. The idea that there wasn't a Hebrew counterpart to the Greek wasn't a problem for 1500 years. Even today among the Dead Sea Scrolls they have found Hebrew counterparts for some of the disputed books.
