Which 4? I only count 3 of the Apostles that have “books” in the NT canon.

Or is there some odd Catholic document that’s not “Protestant” being considered?

Matthew, Peter, John, James, Jude?

Setting aside questions about whether Matthew, and the various books ascribed to John were actually were written by that Matthew and that John, Jude’s a “maybe”.

Generally the epistle of James is considered written by Jesus’s brother and first Bishop of Jerusalem, and not James, son of Zebadee or James, son of Alphaeus.

Some sources, including St Jerome, believe that the James the Younger (one of the Twelve) and James, bishop of Jerusalem and attributed author of the book of James are the same person.

RIP, Pope Francis

Declaration of the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, 21.04.2025

At 9.47 this morning, His Eminence Cardinal Kevin Joseph Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, announced with sorrow the death of Pope Francis, with these words:

“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.

At 7.35 this morning the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was devoted to service to the Lord and His Church.

He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalized.

With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love the One and Triune God”.
