I think you are correct but the first universal proclamation of the canon of the OT was at Trent. You can look this up at www.newadvent.org.Council of Carthage III in 397 I know lists the accepted books we have. I believe Council of Hippo did as well. I will go back and look. I would have posted the exact clip of the web but I am new and not sure what I can and can’t do yet.
I am the same way. I have Passion but the Good Lord did not grant me the Charism of memory. lolHi, Discipleof His!
Thanks! I have read through historical accounts but history does not agree with me, bad with names and dates.
I truly appreciate a link so I can add it to your post.

I think it’s the only logical position if one rejects the existence of an infallible body.
You are right, good point. I think a lot of it was that by Trent the Reformation had really started a lot of dispute on the Cannon that required that they make it Dogmatic. I know I have seen a lot of material where the Church really won’t clarify on anything until dispute arises and they will then will issue something. Kind of like we don’t set speed limits until cars go fast enough to hurt somebody, you know?
But I am far from an expert. Just like to search and learn.*…neither; perhaps you missed my take on their corruption of the Holy Teachings.
I guess I am too black and white. I see what you are saying though. I often don’t even see the point of debating Cannon except through what I see an authority issue. And this is only because of the splintering of the issues of both Catholics and Non-Catholics on the moral and ethical front. I fear where we are headed without a guide. You know? Most of us as Christians say we follow the Holy Spirit, and not to be judgemental of some, but some moral individualism going on behind the "Following the Holy Spirit really worries me.
*…just visited it… yeah, this helps–it sets the Canon on the 4th to 5th centuries.I am the same way. I have Passion but the Good Lord did not grant me the Charism of memory. lol

This is one site I have gone back to and also Google “Council of Hippo” and Catholic.com pulls up some good stuff on Cannon.
Is this what you were after?
I think Trent was definitely in reaction to the reformation. You can read the canons on justification and it becomes even more apparent.You are right, good point. I think a lot of it was that by Trent the Reformation had really started a lot of dispute on the Cannon that required that they make it Dogmatic.

God Bless
I’ll have to go back and re-read your last post.
Thanks for the redirect. I will look at it.
For me, the whole thing boils down to two crucial questions:I guess I am too black and white. I see what you are saying though. I often don’t even see the point of debating Cannon except through what I see an authority issue. And this is only because of the splintering of the issues of both Catholics and Non-Catholics on the moral and ethical front. I fear where we are headed without a guide. You know?
