The Catholic Bible gives us a vision of us and our immortal souls.
WIS 2:23–3:9 includes: “God formed man to be imperishable; the image of his own nature he made them. But by the envy of the Devil, death entered the world, and they who are in his possession experience it.
. . . because God tried them and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings He took them to Himself. In the time of their visitation they shall shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble;”
The full passage explains that His “elect” are those who will be saved.
We “shall shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble”.

Sadly that passage is hidden to Protestants. Their early leaders took Seven Books in the Septuagint out of The Bible. Jesus quoted from those Books. The Profiteers of Protestantism didn’t care! They had to get rid of The Books of The Maccabees. Those Books contained specific references to Jewish soldiers sending gold to The Temple in Jerusalem.
Their donations were to atone for the sins of fallen comrades.
The Profiteers of Protestantism did not want any clear references to Indulgences mentioned in their Bibles! So, Seven Books, including The Book of Wisdom, were removed from their Scripture.

So, our beloved Protestant friends and neighbors are not blessed with The Fullness of Catholic Scripture.
They are kept from the clear vision of their precious, immortal souls. They do not see them as clearly as we Catholics. They do not see that God’s “elect” will eternally “dart about as sparks through stubble”.

That brings Catholics to a profound question! “The Profiteers of Protestantism removed those Books. Can Protestants who do not know of them be excused for willfully disobeying The Actual Church-Founding Word of Jesus?
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.” ?

That does not seem like a safe bet. But, it may be the only one they have!
