who knows
only thing is, the catholic church is not the one who wrote the bible in the first place, but they do change it a lot to suit them selves :)

LOL! I LOVE this question! I’ve been asking the same ones myself and all I get is nonsense. The reason is simple: they don’t have an answer.
Anyone who researches how we got the bible will see it is a collection of books that were assembled over time (it didn’t drop out of the sky). During the early church, it is commonly known that there were literally hundreds of different Christian writings and gospels, yet we only have 23 letters and 4 gospels. Why? Who made that decision? OBVIOUSLY someone did, and OBVIOUSLY their decision was universally accepted.
The Protestants adamantly throw out everything Catholic to get as far away from the Church as possible, yet they keep roughly 90% of our canon. Contradictory?
Why don’t they make their own canon? If they did, who would trust it?

If Protestants came from Catholics, why are there still Catholics? *drink*
Even though I'm not a Catholic I don't see them as being a different religion or anything. We share the same roots.
(Although I personally don't think that the "canon" is all there is to it, but then again I'm one of those "other" Christians.)

Christians wrote the new bit of the bible, catholic and protesants are christians, nobody owns it...
The protestant diverted from the catholic one some time ago, but only in the past hundred years or so.
from what I see, we follow the same book, but interpret it differently (such as the idolitry)
and anyhow it was just a way henry the 8th could get a divorce.

A very insightful question, but I'm afraid it's another that won't get a straight answer since so many people aren't really concerned with the history of their particular "flavor" of Christianity.

They don't. The Catholic Bible has several books included that are not in the KJV or other versions that Christians read- like Judith, etc...

Why did either borrow (or take) from Jewish literature?

I've asked this and only gotten nonsense. They don't know the history of their book.
The best translation is still the Vulgate...
