With all due respect, I am not swayed by the number of times you "correct" the issue or the length and number of dubious sources you cite in the process. The Canon of Scripture was established in the 4th century by the Catholic Church, deriving it from the Apostolic traditions and using the Nicean Creed as a litmus.
The first authorization was at by Pope Damasus I's Council of Rome in 382 and provided the listing of books for St. Jerome's Vulgate translation. The Synod of Hippo in 393 reaffirmed it and the Councils of Carthage in 397 and 419, under the direction of St. Augustine again affirmed it.
The Council of Trent, as stated earlier, reaffirmed the original Canon in response to its radical revision by Luther and the Reformation.
We can certainly debate or disagree on doctrine, and even the significance or consequences of historical events, but you cannot misstate history and maintain any credibility. To attempt to do so is yet another Protestant canard.

I am not swayed by the number of times you or other RCs assert or infer that Rome had a settled indisputable canon (which was my assertion which you disallow) from the 4th century which Trent merely affirmed, as no matter how much you avoid it the historical research - including that done by Catholics - reveals that it was not wholly settled, and thus there was dispute about books right into Trent.
You cannot misstate history and maintain any credibility. To attempt to do so is yet another Catholic canard, and reveals the cultic mindblock of so many Roman Catholics when faced with evidence that impugns their object of devotion.
Over and out.
