Ready for the latest and greatest in the "right to die" arena? Here's a story about a woman who is being denied sustenance, who is neither in a vegetative state or terminally ill. Scary, innit? Damon That is scary. I've been listening to a book on tape recently. It's a Malcom Muggeridge book and he...

In a discussion with a Roman Catholic friend, he was saying that the apocryha was removed from the original canonization. In all my readings (which, admittedly, are from Protestant writers), the apocrypha was added after the reformation in the 16th century.

Which is the true history?
