If so, then why accept Martin Luther's changes to the Bible which were made long after you believe Christianity became corrupt? Those books were affirmed as Scripture and included in the Bible at the same time as the books in the New Testament, so why reject the seven OT books but not the NT ones?
Remember first what your church calls such books: deuterocanonical, meaning secondary canon. Implicitly they are not valued as highly in Catholic canon either. These books were never included in Jewish canon. They were part of the Greek Septuagint, coming from Jewish texts but already of dubious authenticity, and ultimately rejected by Jewish authorities, though Christian authorities did ultimately accept them. That said, we do not reject them wholly, but believe them to be somewhat unreliable, some more than others:
I believe they were termed deuterocanonical because their canonicity was questioned by some, like St. Jerome for instance, not because they are not as important. However, New Testament books like Jude and Revelation were also under dispute while other books that were ultimately rejected, like The Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas were considered canonical by some earlier on. The Church teaches that the deuterocanonical books are just as inspired as any other book in the Bible and they have no lesser value.

I happen to have a parallel translation of I believe eight different translations of the Apocrypha, 4 Protestant, 4 Catholic, and it includes a few other books not found canonical by either, but esteemed as canon by Oriental Orthodox branches. I've actually enjoyed collecting such books, and I hope to obtain a few books that contain large collections of pseudepigriphial Old and New Testament writings. There is something to learn from many of them, even if some are very inaccurate.
If you want a site that has a comprehensive list of non-canonical early Christian and Jewish writings, I suggest you take a look at these two sites:
http://earlychristianwritings.com/
http://earlyjewishwritings.com/
There is quite a list there and multiple translations and commentaries are included.
