Why Does the Catholic Bible Have More Books?

Description

Did Catholics add extra books to the Bible? No. Protestants removed them. The Catholic Church officially recognized the 73-book canon in the 4th century — including the Deuterocanonical books like Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, and 1 & 2 Maccabees. These books were: ✅ Used by the early Church ✅ Quoted by the Apostles ✅ Found in the Septuagint — the Old Testament used in Jesus’ time But in the 1500s, Martin Luther removed them because they contradicted his new theology. He even tried to cut James, Hebrews, and Revelation. The Catholic Church didn’t add books — it preserved what had always been there. The Protestant Reformers were the ones who took them out. 👉 Subscribe for more bold Catholic truth and real answers to defend the Faith.
