One of the things the Catholic Church has preserved that some Protestant denominations have not, is the whole of scripture. Without the additional books, we have one denomination right here in Portland that fell into a rather deadly error which caused the death of a child; an error that would not have been if they had preserved either Holy Apostolic Tradition or the the Whole of Scripture (first letter to the editor in that last link).
I remember 10 years ago making EXACTLY the same point as Father Cole in a call in to a radio show on the topic (this is NOT the first child or adult this small denomination in Clackamas County)- and being laughed off the air for insisting that perhaps Catholics have a more complete view of Christianity than these trendy denominations.
