Your claim that the RCC made their decision on the Canon in the 16th Century is way, way, WAY false!
Nope, Pope Damasus (382) listed the current books in the new testament and OT Canon as it is in the Catholic Bible. the Councils of Rome, Hippo, and Carthage in the late fourth century formed the Catholic Canon which the Church always accepted. THe Canon was confirmed, reafirmed, reaffirmed, reaffirmed, and then closed.
In the 16th Century the Canon came under attack so the Church had to once again define "THIS IS THE CORRECT CANON".
