Alright, folks, buckle up because we're about to dive into the wild world of #religious book clubs, where the Roman #Catholic #Church (RCC) plays the role of the quirky, sometimes misunderstood book critic.

So, let's talk about the #Bible, or as some call it, the "#Divine #Bestseller." Now, most folks agree that God wrote the first 66 books of this #epic #saga. But here's where the RCC turns into that one friend who insists on adding extra chapters to your favorite #novel, claiming, "Oh, these were definitely written by the same author!"

Picture this: #God, the ultimate Author, is like the J.K. #Rowling of the divine realm. He writes these 66 books, each one a masterpiece, with plot twists, character development, and moral lessons. It's all there, from #Genesis to #Revelation. But then, the RCC comes along and says, "You know what would make this even better? SEVEN MORE BOOKS!"

Now, these extra books, or the #Apocrypha as they're known, are like #fanfiction. You know, the kind you find on the internet where someone decides #HarryPotter should've become a #chef instead of a #wizard. But the RCC isn't just reading this #fan #fiction; they're saying, "Yep, J.K. Rowling definitely wrote this too!"

But here's the kicker - God didn't exactly leave His divine signature on these extra books. It's like if you found a note in your house that wasn't in your handwriting, but your roommate insists you wrote it while #sleepwalking. "Look, it's in your style!" they say, ignoring the fact that you've never used the word "thou" in your life.

The RCC seems to think that because these books are old and have some good moral advice, they must be straight from God's pen. But let's be real, if God had written those extra books, wouldn't He have at least mentioned them in the original 66, like, "P.S. Check out these additional #adventures in 'The #Wisdom of #Solomon' for the bonus content!"

And let's not forget the Holy Spirit, who's supposed to guide us in understanding all this. The RCC seems to think the #Holy #Spirit was like, "I inspired the #Apostles to speak in #tongues, but sure, let's also inspire some extra books that nobody universally agrees on." It's like the #HolySpirit playing a game of divine hide-and-seek with the #truth.

So, in the end, the RCC doesn't quite get that God writing the 66 books was like Him carving the #TenCommandments on stone tablets - direct, clear, and unmistakably His own work. Those extra books? They're more like someone adding extra commandments with a Sharpie, saying, "#God would've wanted this one too!"

And there you have it, folks, the comedic tragedy of #divine authorship, where the #RCC is the well-meaning but slightly confused editor trying to expand the #canon with a bit too much... creativity.
