St. Jerome acquiesced under obedience (Hebrews 13:17) and began the translation, and completed it in 404 A.D.. In 405, his new Latin Vulgate was published for the first time.
In concurrence with the opinion of St. Augustine, and being prompted by the Holy Ghost, Pope St. Damasus I, at the Council of Rome in 382, issued a decree appropriately called, "The Decree of Damasus", in which he listed the canonical books of both the Old and New Testaments. He then asked St. Jerome to use this canon and to write a new Bible translation which included an Old Testament of 46 books, which were all in the Septuagint, and a New Testament of 27 books.
St. Jerome, felt the seven books were not canonical, and St. Augustine who said they were. Protestants who write about this will invariably mention St. Jerome and his opposition, and conveniently omit the support of St. Augustine. I must point out here that Church Father's writings are not infallible statements, and their arguments are merely reflections of their own private opinions. When some say
St. Jerome was against the inclusion of the seven books, they are merely showing his personal opinion of them. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion. However, A PERSONS PRIVATE OPINION DOES NOT CHANGE THE TRUTH AT ALL. There are always three sides to every story, this side, that side, and the side of truth. Whether Jerome's position, or Augustine's position was the correct position, had to be settled by a third party, and that third party was the Catholic Church.
Hey! I'm know you from another forum. Did St. Jerome write of his belief in purgatory and the communion of saints. This could show 2 things - a) Jerome was indeed Catholic b) these doctrines don't "need" the deutero-canonicals - at least Jerome didn't need them. Don't allow Protestants to claim Jerome as "one of theirs" when clearly; he isn't.

Outstanding. The Truth will always overcome the mockers and scoffers. God bless you and thank you so much for your thoroughly clear expositions.
