What do you mean removed book? The Protestants removed some books from their Bibles but those books are not removed from the Catholic Bible. The other apocrypha books like the book of Enoch were never in the Bible so were never "removed". The Catholic Church decides what's in the Bible.

The cave-dwelling cult who wrote down the Dead Sea Scrolls are not a higher authority than the Catholic Church, which was set up by Christ. The Catholic Church is the only authority which can determine the canon of Scripture, because it is the only institution which Christ set up to safeguard his teachings. You as a fallible human being looking at manuscripts have no ability to determine which book was inspired by God and which was not. Only the Catholic Church has such an authority.

This is not even the worst thing a Pope has done. Pope John XII became Pope while he was a teenager through nepotism and intrigue. He was known for licentiousness and depravity, bedding various women throughout Rome and getting drunk and throwing parties. He was killed by a nobleman who found him in bed with his wife.
And yet this does not detract from the purity, sanctity, and authority of the Catholic Church.

You can always tell that the Catholic church is not the true Church, or at least the Early Church, by how little Catholics understand history before 1054. The book of Enoch was featured in the canon of the Tewahedo Church before the Ethiopians schismed and so it was featured in *a* Bible before *the* Bible was decided. And the Catholic church does not decide what is in the Bible, the Holy Spirit decides what the canon of Scripture is by acting through Council. *The* canon of Scripture is not defined by the church or the pope.

1 Enoch clearly deserves to be considered scripture. Read this:

When the congregation of the righteous shall appear,
And sinners shall be judged for their sins,
And shall be driven from the face of the earth:

And when the Righteous One shall appear before the eyes of the righteous,
Whose elect works hang upon the Lord of Spirits,
And light shall appear to the righteous and the elect who dwell on the earth,
Where then will be the dwelling of the sinners,
And where the resting-place of those who have denied the Lord of Spirits?
It had been good for them if they had not been born.

When the secrets of the righteous shall be revealed and the sinners judged,
And the godless driven from the presence of the righteous and elect,

From that time those that possess the earth shall no longer be powerful and exalted:
And they shall not be able to behold the face of the holy,
For the Lord of Spirits has caused His light to appear
On the face of the holy, righteous, and elect.

And there I saw One who had a head of days,
And His head was white like wool,
And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man,
And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.

And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that

Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and) why he went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me:
This is the son of Man who hath righteousness,
With whom dwelleth righteousness,
And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden,
Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him,
And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever.

And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen
Shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats,
[And the strong from their thrones]
And shall loosen the reins of the strong,
And break the teeth of the sinners.

And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness
Which was inexhaustible:
And around it were many fountains of wisdom:
And all the thirsty drank of them,
And were filled with wisdom,
And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.

And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits,
And his name before the Head of Days.

Yea, before the sun and the signs were created,
Before the stars of the heaven were made,
His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall,
And he shall be the light of the Gentiles,
And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.

All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him,
And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.

And for this reason hath he been chosen and hidden before Him,
Before the creation of the world and for evermore.

And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous;
For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous,
Because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness,
And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
For in his name they are saved,
And according to his good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.
