The Roman Catholic Bible Is
The
Douay-Rheims Bible!
The Roman Catholic Bible in English is the Douay-Rheims Bible and has been for hundreds of years. The Bible is the Word of God. The Douay has been the definitive Roman Catholic Bible for centuries!
The best catechisms
that teach the basic Catholic beliefs concisely quote this Bible. See St. Anne's Helper for Audio Catechism CDs, Downloads and Catechism Copybooks!
The Catholic Douay-Rheims Bible whether for a Sunday Missal or Catholic Daily Missal. This has been true for centuries. Catholic truth is not able to be substantially changed. What a consolation!

Catholic Online Bible!
 The Faith Database has a Catholic Online Bible that can be purchased as an immediate download online or as a CD! It has the Douay-Rheims Bible, the Summa, and My Immitation of Christ and has 1000s of Catholic books all ready for you to search and copy! Images, too! There are some Protestant books on the same CD which can serve research purposes. The giant number of Catholic books is well worth the purchase price of $39, even if simply to have these resources handy at all times whether you are online or offline! It is a dream to be able to copy and paste from a Catholic Bible into your own work - it can save a lot of re-typing and attendant errors of omission.
A The Haydock Catholic Bible Online is well laid out at these sites. It is so handy for use in copying long Bible quotes from the Bible. Remember that anything online is editable so one must beware the online editions, especially since OCR is not always very accurate if the information was scanned. This also makes it hard to verify that what you see on the screen is a Catholic Bible. Use these only as a tool and be forewarned that in "searching" for a Catholic online Bible we came across sites with very indecent advertising!
We can recommend that if you have a Douay-Rheims Bible that has been xerographicly produced (as TAN's has/had been), and that you then compare the verses you are looking for, a Catholic online Bible is a great place to copy and paste from, so you do not have to scan or re-type the text into your own works.
Catechism of the Bible.
The Catechism Of The Bible (By Rev. John O'Brien, M.A. New York 1924) is a Catechism Catholics who choose the Douay will appreciate dearly. It teaches many of the reasons that the Douay is the Roman Catholic Bilbe.
Haydock Bible!
Did you know that Blessed George Haydock was related to the Fr. George Haydock who compiled the The Haydock Douay-Rheims Bible? Fr. Haydock's brother, Thomas, ran the publishing house in England that published it. All three lived under persecution. Blessed George Haydock was a "seminarian-priest" martyr. Fr. George and Mr. Thomas Haydock lived before the Catholic penal laws were lifted in the 1800s.
The Douay-Rheims Bible
is the Catholic Bible that has the best "translation" from the Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome. The original meaning was simply "carried" (trans-) from the original Vulgate. Many other versions, including the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine "version", are not true translations but mere paraphrases. Remember that the Douay-Rheims Bible
was translated at a time when every word mattered to the point of martyrdom. The Anglicans in England were ready to kill Catholics over such matters as true Catholic education as they did St. Margaret Clitherow.

How Do You Know?
When using a "version" of the Baltimore Catechism (lower or higher level
higher level) be sure that its Bible quotes use the true Roman Catholic Bible. These teach the Roman Catholic beliefs
Roman Catholic beliefs and relate such as the Catholic Ten Commandments faithfully and also many other basic Catholic beliefs.
How does one know? The first and easiest quote to check is Genesis 3:15. The Douay-Rheims Bible says "she shall crush thy head". Many other versions simply do not make gramatical sense. A reason that paraphrased versions do not use "she shall" is that their authors chose not to tell the truth of Our Lady being the Mediatrix of All Graces, the greatest stumbling block to Protestants. There are many beautiful Douay-Rheims Bibles at Tan Books, Baronius Press (which has pocket, burgundy, and white Bibles), and Aquinas and More Catholic Church Goods. (Saint Thomas and Saint Thomas!).
Other Clues?
Other clues to a Roman Catholic Bible are: a word such as testament is changed to covenant (see the Haydock Douay-Rheims foreword to see that one does not have to die for a covenant, as with a testament, which removes the emphasis from Our Lord's Redemptive Act); words of authority are changed to clerical words (governor for official); tabernacle is reduced to tent; ship is reduced to boat; and unisex language is used throughout, etc.
The Most Notable Differences!
The Catechism of the Bible describes in Lesson 16 the differences between the Roman Catholic Bible and Protestant Versions states that "The most notable difference is the absence of seven whole books and parts of two others from the Protestant versions." "They are called the Deutero-Canonical Books": "Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, 1 Machabees, and 2 Machabees."
"Many Protestant versions other than the King James omit the Epistle of James" (Faith without works is dead). Another important quote seems to apply to the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, in its use of the word "worship" rather than "adore" (and many others - testament/covenant, multitude/crowd, etc.) which concurs with the Latin read from the altar, as with Protestant versions: "The King James version has a preference for words of Anglo-Saxon origin whereas the Douay version freely uses words of Latin origin.... Many Protestant versions other than the King James omit the Epistle of St. James."
The Protestant versions removed many other Catholic beliefs by having removed the several books. Praying for the dead (Catholic doctrine on Purgatory) and nursing older children are in First and Second Machabees. Nursing your children and wondering how old? 2 Machabees 7:27 tells of the mother who was a saint and martyr after she watched each of her seven sons martyred. She fed her youngest son three years. Just a fact. St. Penelope had a similar story.
Use Catholic Principles!
The principle of non-contradiction is in force with many of the differing terms as can be seen between "she shall" and "he shall". Other universal principles apply, too, like "No Catholic doctrine is ever outmoded!" Remember these thoughts when you find a discrepancy, then use another Catholic principle, "Always chose the better thing." One, two, three!
Plenary Indulgences
The New Regulations on Indulgences booklet from Tan Books
says that among the plenary indulgences that are left to us there is a plenary indulgence for reading the Bible. Since the word "the" is indicative of a particular single item it should be understood that one should use the Roman Catholic Bible so as to be certain to be studying or reading the whole Bible and nothing but the Bible! "Bearing in mind that only one of these plenary indulgences can be gained on one and the same day, a plenary indulgence can be gained under the usual conditions of confession (say every two weeks), Communion and prayer for the Pope's intentions:...." "For reading Sacred Scripture with the reverence due to the divine word for at least half an hour, as spiritual reading" (p. 29, 30).
Prayer to the Holy Ghost
Come, Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
Send forth Thy spirit and they shall be created. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, Who didst insruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Ghost, grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things and ever to rejoice in His Consolation through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
