His followers gave him some pushback, and it didn't happen. He did, however, remove other books successfully. I have a Catholic Bible sitting on my shelf. I bet you it has more books than the one you have sitting on your shelf. The Bible you believe in is different because of the politics in 16th century Europe.
I bet you think that your Bible is the inerrant word of God too. That's a Catholic thing. The Early Christians didn't even have an agreed upon canon (their texts lacked some canonical books or contained apocrypha), nor did they consider it inerrant. The Catholics came along and said, "These books are in, these other books are out, and what we have chosen is the inerrant word of God."
Funny how the inerrant word of God is suspect to the whims of powerful political figures at different stages of history, isn't it? You'd think the inerrant word of God wouldn't be subject to the whims of politics, but it is.
The RCC withheld the Bible from the people, but it was instrumental in preserving as well. Her additions and subtractions haven't always been right.

Facts are his enemy. He prefers fairy tales.
How come you never feel any better after you have tried to put someone else down?
Haven't you had so much misery, confusion and rage that topping yourself was running through your thoughts?
