Best Answer

All Christians, both protestant and Catholic, follow The Bible, which is made up of the Old and New Testaments.

The New Testament is the same for both. The Old Testament, for Catholics, has 7 books plus some additions to Esther and Daniel, that protestants don't recognize as canonical or divinely inspired.

The 7 books are Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch/Jeremy, and 1 and 2 Maccabees. The sections of Esther protestant Bibles don't have is Esther 10:4 - 16:24. The sections of Daniel they don't have is the Song of the Three Children (Daniel 3:24 - 90), the Song of Susanna (Daniel 13) and the Idol and the Dragon (Daniel 14).

Greek (Eastern) Orthodox Catholics add to that 1 and 2 Esdras and (I think) the Song of Manasses.

What does the phrase pure protestants and complicated Catholics mean?

This is a phrase from a book about the Churches in revolutionary times, obviously written from a protestant perspective. It says "How many ways can you think of to remember the differences between Catholic and protestant beliefs? Here is a simple memory jogger to help you: "pure protestants and complicated Catholics" which shows that the protestant wanted to make the Church simple and the Catholics wanted to keep all the ornaments and decorations." Which is a gross fallacy, first of all, it assumes that all the things the protestants threw out were not given to us from God, and that they weren't necessary. When it comes to decorations, there are many Catholics that are far more simple in their "decoration and ornaments" than protestants - look at the Carthusians or the Cisterians.

Where did the book of Tobit get included in RC bible?

The book of Tobit is one of the texts in Greek that are correctly called Deuterocanonical by Catholics, and are entitled (less correctly) Apocrypha by Protestants. During the Reformation, only the books belonging to the Hebrew Bible (in Hebrew and Aramaic) were included in the Protestant Old Testament, whereas Catholics continued to include the Greek texts in their Old Testament, as well as the Hebrew and Aramaic texts.
