Hmm. Do I tread on this mine, or not? (-: Let's try tiptoeing around it :-) Including _The_ Apocrypha, at least without significant notice that it is indeed aprocryphal, favours Roman Catholicism, excluding it favours Protestantism. Whether one or the other of these are `other religions or cults' is the question that I'm not going to face. Apocryphal stuff like the Book of Jasher and so on is a different story. Cheers; Leon
