No. Rather, it is the opposite; Protestants removed many books from the original Bible. The Catholic Old Testament is descended from the Septuagint, which is the Greek translations of all of the Hebrew books that were used by Hellenic Jews at the time of Christ. Christ and the Apostles used these books, which include the "Deuterocanonical Books" that are not used in Protestant Bibles today. However, the Pharisees who opposed Christianity after Christ's crucifixion rejected the Septuagint because it was Greek and too much associated with Christianity, and in order to create a renewed Jewish identity, promoted their own list of books. The Septuagint actually has more books than the Catholic Old Testament does. When Protestant Bibles came to be, they based themselves more on the Pharisees' canon rather than what had been traditionally accepted by Christians for 1500 years.
