You are wrong.  The Protestants use a Bible with 14 fewer books.  They are using a major alteration of the Bible.  All Bibles were "Catholic" Bibles until a committee influenced by two English guys deleted the 14 books in the Apocrypha section in the 1880s.  The "Protestant" Bible has only existed for about 134 years.   

The Catholics have the real Bible.  The Protestants use a fake Bible.

Wrong as usual WOG

The Protestant version of the bible (KJV at least) have the same exact books that are found in the Tanakh, which do not include any apocryphal books:

Which means the Catholics have ADDED books to the Hebrew Bible.

Sorry for doubting your claims. (I simply thought you got the dates mixed up--that's why I asked you for a citation.) It's certainly something worth taking a closer look at.

Why is this not more widely-known? I'm certainly going to look into this further.

On a side note, this has been quite the "learning" thread for me today. I've had two incorrect assumptions corrected. I'd say I'm getting my money's worth.

You should take everything WOG says with a grain of salt...
