Dear Protestants, Your Bible lacks 7 canonical books, removed by Martin Luther and John Calvin as “Apocrypha”. Protestants often quote Saint Jerome to justify this removal. Saint Jerome later changed his mind about the 7 deuterocanonical books in obedience to Pope Damasus. His famous quote from the Helemeted Preface (quoted daily by Protestants) doubting the 7 deuteros dates from 391. Nine years later he wrote that he had submitted to the Catholic position and rejected his private opinion. Can Protestants please drop their fan fiction that Jerome was a Proto-Protestant? Later in life (in Against Rufinus around 402 AD), he defended the Church's judgment on the 73-book canon saying, "What sin have I committed if I followed the judgment of the churches?"
