You're kind of ignorant about history. Okay, so back in the 300s and 400s, popes like Damasus I, Innocent I, and Leo the Great were super important for figuring out which books belong in the Bible. Without them, it would’ve been chaos. There were literally hundreds of writings floating around the churches, many of them claiming to have been written by apostles.
Pope Damasus made a list of the books at a meeting in 382 and got St. Jerome to translate the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). If he didn’t do that, people might’ve been using all sorts of random books. Then Pope Innocent I made sure everyone stuck to the list by writing letters about it. And Pope Leo the Great kept everything organized and made sure the Church stayed on track.
Without these guys, the Bible we know might not even exist. People would’ve been arguing over what counts as Scripture, and the Church would’ve been a total mess.
So it makes no sense that the church would hide scripture as scripture as we know it as today is whatever the Vatican declared to be scripture.
Nowhere does the book of Luke claim to be written by Luke but church tradition claims it was and later the church officially recognized it and declared it in the canon.
