The Roman Catholic really begins to run into trouble IF they are pointing to this as "evidence" for the apocrypha.
Th DC rejected a whole bunch of other books and considered them to be damned; one of which was the Gospel of James, or The Protoevangelium of James.
It is from this rejected source Rome derives it's error prone history of Joseph and Mary.
So which is it going to be for the Roman Catholic?
Accepting the all of the ruling or just part of the ruling of the DC?
Either way, it leaves the Roman Catholic in a quandary.
Are John MacArthur's writings canonical scripture? Of course not. Do you therefore reject everything he says? The logic is precisely the same.
