Assalam alaikum to all.
The Church accepts the deuterocanons as divinely inspiried books, which are part of the Old Testament canon used by Jewish Christians, yet Protestants without any valid reason rejected these books and labeled them by the prejorative slur “apocrypha”. But Protestants are not the first Christians to tamper with the Bible, the Nestorian Church (also called Assyrian Church of the East) removed 5 books from the New Testament canon, so their New Testament has only 22 books. These books are missing in the CoE official Bible canon:
Revelation
2 Peter
2 John
3 John
Jude
What is the Catholic Church’s view on Nestorians (Assyrian Christianity) position that a 22-book New Testament canon is of apostolic origin? The CoE has labeled these 5 books by various names and three popular ones are “New Testament Apocrypha”, “Western Five”, and “Monophysite Forgeries”.
