[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I hold as true that the 66 books are Scripture based upon evidence

Fair enough.

But this proves my point that your Bible cannot be the sole rule of faith, since someone, or something, outside of the Protestant canon of Scripture, must determine what does, or does not, constitute the true collection of Books (Books => Biblia => Bible).

For Catholics, our Authority is the Church of Christ, or the Catholic Church, as it is more commonly known.

(Prayer to St Michael the Archangel) I don’t think I have ever recited the long version but am going to say the short version multiple times per day (and at Latin Mass) as the Obamacare thing and other situations have me in a panic again. Perhaps St Michael can help defend against the demons that put thoughts of despair in our minds?
