The fundamental mistake the priest makes is that he thinks the Bible is an authoritative list of books determined by the Church. On this view, the leaders of the Catholic church had the authority to choose which books were in and which are out.

However, the Bible is NOT an authoritative list of books. Rather, it's a list of authoritative books. That’s a distinction is crucial.

Contrary to this video, the Catholic church DID NOT give authority to the books. After all, the books were inspired by God, and, therefore, had their own authority when they were written. The Church simply recognized the authority that was already present in the books.
