I already addressed Jerome and the deuterocanonicals. Why did you ignore what I wrote? By the way, Jerome described those who say he denied the divine authority of the deuterocanonicals, “fools and slanderers.”
I didn't. Jerome may have had his arm twisted years later, but you cannot deny his contentions about the place of the Deuteros/Apocryphals. You commented about the use of the word "deuterocanonicals" which simply means "second canon". To call them "Apocryphals" - as many do - merely acknowledges these books did not always have a known author or provenance and that they were not accepted as Divinely-inspired writings. That late third century Christians took an interest in them and wanted them included in a body of religious writings to be edifying to the ecclesiastical community, was not a valid reason to force all of Christendom to receive them as Divinely-inspired, too.
Why did you ignore what I wrote? Trent used these books to try to usurp the authority of the word of God OVER the church and make it subservient to the church. They were and are wrong! Do you disagree? Wasn't this a reaction to the Reformers' rejection of the books as belonging in the canon (rule of faith)? It seems awfully circumstantial if it's not.
