Catholic Bible?

I was told over 30 years ago by a religious scholar that when the Bible was put together at the 395th congress of constantinople, it was controled by the rich contributors to the catholic church, so they controlled a lot of what went into the Bible. I also heard something to this effect on the radio some 15 years ago and they said the cardinals and bishops that where bought by the rich church supporters did serve the rich, but the pope of the time was the only one who stood up the the rich people controling what went into and what was left out of the Bible. I’ve searched the net many a time and I can’t get any info on this subject. can you help or direct me? Frank Kocanda jr.

Perhaps the reason you have been unable to find verification of claims you cite is that they are untrue. The Bible, both testaments, were collected together long before the emergence of the Roman Catholic Church. The subject category in which you have expressed interest is called “Biblical Canonicity” or simply “Canonicity.” Some articles archived on Gospel Gazette Online pertain to biblical canonicity; two of these may be found at these URL’s.
