inheritance of God. And Jeremie

The Decree of Pope St. Damasus I, Council of Rome. 382 A.D....

ST. DAMASUS 1, POPE, THE DECREE OF DAMASUS

It is likewise decreed: Now, indeed, we must treat of the divine Scriptures: what the universal Catholic Church
accepts and what she must shun.
The list of the Old Testament begins: Genesis, one book; Exodus, one book: Leviticus, one book; Numbers,
one book; Deuteronomy, one book; Jesus Nave, one book; of Judges, one book; Ruth, one book; of Kings, four
books; Paralipomenon, two books; One Hundred and Fifty Psalms, one book; of Solomon, three books:
Proverbs, one book; Ecclesiastes, one book; Canticle of Canticles, one book; likewise, Wisdom, one book;
Ecclesiasticus (Sirach), one book; Likewise, the list of the Prophets: Isaiah, one book; Jeremias, one book; along
with Cinoth, that is, his Lamentations; Ezechiel, one book; Daniel, one book; Osee, one book; Amos, one book;
Micheas, one book; Joel, one book; Abdias, one book; Jonas, one book; Nahum, one book; Habacuc, one book;
Sophonias, one book; Aggeus, one book; Zacharias, one book; Malachias, one book. Likewise, the list of
histories: Job, one book; Tobias, one book; Esdras, two books; Esther, one book; Judith, one book; of
Maccabees, two books.
Likewise, the list of the Scriptures of the New and Eternal Testament, which the holy and Catholic Church
receives: of the Gospels, one book according to Matthew, one book according to Mark, one book according to
Luke, one book according to John. The Epistles of the Apostle Paul, fourteen in number: one to the Romans, two
to the Corinthians, one to the Ephesians, two to the Thessalonians, one to the Galatians, one to the Philippians,
one to the Colossians, two to Timothy, one to Titus one to Philemon, one to the Hebrews. Likewise, one book of
the Apocalypse of John. And the Acts of the Apostles, one book. Likewise, the canonical Epistles, seven in
number: of the Apostle Peter, two Epistles; of the Apostle James, one Epistle; of the Apostle John, one Epistle; of
the other John, a Presbyter, two Epistles; of the Apostle Jude the Zealot, one Epistle. Thus concludes the canon
of the New Testament.
Likewise it is decreed: After the announcement of all of these prophetic and evangelic or as well as apostolic
writings which we have listed above as Scriptures, on which, by the grace of God, the Catholic Church is
founded, we have considered that it ought to be announced that although all the Catholic Churches spread abroad
through the world comprise but one bridal chamber of Christ, nevertheless, the holy Roman Church has been
placed at the forefront not by the conciliar decisions of other Churches, but has received the primacy by the
evangelic voice of our Lord and Savior, who says: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church,
and the gates of hell will not prevail against it; and I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and
whatever you shall have bound on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall have loosed on earth
shall be loosed in heaven."
