Are you planning to include 'things' like prayers and documents that are in the Catholic Bibles (as 'Chapter A, Prologues, Epilogues, etc)I have (but are not in the Protestant Bibles I have)? If not, I believe the Catholic Biblehas 140 chapters greater than the Protestant Bible which is either 1182 or 1189 chapters in length currently.

Ten. The rest are all "fake" chapters.
