57:24Now PlayingDid Cardinal Francisco Ximenes actually reject the Deuterocanonical books as Scripture?
In this episode of FACTS, Stephen Boyce responds to recent claims by Wes Huff concerning Ximenes, the Complutensian Polyglot, and the biblical canon before the Council of Trent.
We examine Ximenes’ famous phrase libri extra canonem (“books outside the canon”), his statement that these books were nevertheless “received by the Church,” his dependence on St. Jerome, and the broader canonical witness of Rome, Hippo, Carthage, Pope Innocent I, Florence, and Trent.
Did Trent create a new Catholic canon—or formally define one the Church had long received?
