The Shocking History of the Protestant Bible

From Totus Catholica


The longer Bible was not invented by Rome; it was the Bible of the Septuagint, the one many early Jews and the apostles used. The seven books people call deuterocanonical were part of that tradition from the beginning, and the Church later confirmed what had already been handed down. Those books matter because they shape Catholic teaching on prophecy, prayer for the dead, and the Mass. Wisdom 2 foreshadows Christ's passion, and 2 Maccabees 12 supports praying for the dead, which is why the Bible the Church preserved is not an addition but a fuller inheritance.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
