Do Catholics have an "Apocrypha" or just a "Bible"?
score:12
Accepted answer
Neither of your options is correct. Catholics typically refer to what Protestants call the Apocrypha (1-2 Macabees, Sirach, etc.) as deuterocanonical books, and they do include them in the Bible as inspired, God-given writings.
They were in use in the church from before the NT times, and IIRC, it was Jerome that gave them the name "apocrypha" and the Council of Trent that established them as deuterocanonical. See Development of the Old Testament Canon and Apocrypha in the Wikipedia.
