Why? Because it proves that psychics aren't ALWAYS evil.

The Catholic Church was the original assembler of the canon of scripture. Scholars left out some books, such as the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Gospel of Peter as 'uninspired.'
That means they did not believe those books to be the Word of God.
Protestants REMOVED some books from the Bible, especially from the Hebrew Scriptures- becuase they were' too Cahtolic.' Examples are: 1 and 2 Maccabees, parts of Daniel, and Wisdom. These were part of the Jewish Scripture until the Jewish Scholars decided they were 'too Christian.'

Yes. When the Church defined canon at the Council of Hippo, there were innumerable numbers of holy writings to be considered. They obviously left some out. Either because they were deemed heretical (the gnostic gospels), not divinely inspired, or some other reason.
However, even more books are missing from Protestant Bibles, as the reformers removed all the dueterocanonical books of the Old Testament during the Reformation.

No, in fact, the Catholics have more books in their Bible then normal. They include what are called the Aprochratha books as part of their Bible. These extra books were not divinely inspired by God and therefore, have no business being passed off as part of the Bible. Some other Bibles have the Aprochratha books in them in a separate section and that's where they belong. But Catholics have mixed them right in with the rest of their Bible so the reader can not determine which parts were divinely inspired by God and which ones weren't.

Sure, there's the gnostic gospels, which the early catholic church rejected in favor of gospels that are more tolerant to the church being an important institution.

Plenty of books.
Gospel of Thomas, for instance.
