Are the Apocrypha Scripture?

[Quan]

I ran into this web page, carm.org/apocrypha-it-scripture. It basically says that
the books of Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (also known as Ecclesiasticus), and Baruch do not belong to the Scripture because the Jews did not consider them as inspired and Church Fathers did not always agree that they should belong to the canonical. What are our Catholic answer to this assertion? Thanks!

Dear friend,

What Protestants call the Apocrypha, Catholics call the deuterocanonicals and these ARE Sacred Scripture. See:
