Also, the Apocrypha deals pretty extensively with the role of women in society, and the people debating it come to the conclusion that women should have equality in men in all social rights and responsibilities.
The Catholic church isn't a big fan of the Apocrypha, and for some reason it does not appear in their bible, though it appears in almost every other major sect's bibles. The KJV, for example, includes it.
I think you have sects reversed. They kept it for the whole praying for the dead part so that they can explain purgatory.
*Edit: just learned there are many books called apocrypha, depends which one you want*
