Reason for the difference of Books not included in non-Catholic bibles:

A

Catholics think of these books as inspired, or
equal inspiration as the Protocanonicals, having passed the same standards.
During the Council of Trent, before the Catholic Church finally closed the Canon (which means
from then on, no other books will be added to the bible).
Martin Luther: We must follow the decision of the Jews at Jamnia.
* The Jews at Jamnia only wanted to include those Old Testament Texts written in Hebrew by
the Jewish writers in Palestine. There were other Old Testament texts written in Greek by the
Jews in diaspora.
Council of Trent: NO! We must follow our APOSTOLIC TRADITION. The Bible known to our
LORD and to the Apostles was the SEPTUAGINT (Greek Bible).
