And you -- fittingly named "ignorant," owe your own scriptural canon to the Catholic church.

When people want to pick on us and we know they are going to be sarcastic, we can say a prayer to our Blessed Mother, and offer up our irritations and pray for their needs.

But the Jewish people pretty much put the Old Testament scriptures together themselves. The septuagint predates the Christian church...and then later, they chose their own canon for their own reasons.

Ah..I don't think so. If you'd have paid attention you'd know I don't find NT writings to be inspired.

But I will concede that you owe the Jews a debt of gratitude for 2/3's of your canon.
