It was removed from Protestant edition at the insistence of the Puritans who did not consider it canonical.

Those books are not in the Protestant canon of the Bible, but it is in the Catholic canon of the Bible.
I think the Sanhedrin removed those books from the Jewish canon of Old Testament books around the same time that they condemned Christianity.
Funny how the Protestants call the Deuterocanonicals "apocrypha", the only other group to call them that was the Sanhedrin.
The Sanhedrin took those books out of the Bible, years after they killed Christ, but the Protestants call themselves Christians even though they are condemning books that were condemned by the same group of people that killed Christ?
Something seems off, Protestants. Tisk tisk.

Because Christ never quoted it and it contains no prophecies of Christ. It is just a historical book, used by the RCC to fill the time gap between the old and new testaments.

You mean in the KJV, right? The Apocrypha [books of minor prophets] is not included in that version. It is only present in the Catholic-approved bibles...
Peace be with you!

Because the Jews did not regard it as a part of God's word
as well as the rest of the apocryphal works

It is, in the Catholic Bible, and it was, in the original King James.
The real question is, what happened to the King James since then, and why?

It got bad reviews from the NY Times, so the publisher scrapped it.
