HISTORIC CATHOLIC BIBLE AND WHICH ONE YOU SHOULD HAVE

Wondering what Bible you should use confused as to which on you should have, well there are two books that every Catholic home should have, they are: The Douay Rheims Catholic Bible and the RSV Catholic Edition. Note:  other RSV editions are out and say Catholic but it does not mean they are Catholic, a lot of times you will find that these bible are published by protestant publishers. I suggest that if you are interested in safe reading that is in union with the Vicar of Rome Pope John Paul II, look into EWTN or TAN Publishers, they are fully Catholic and contain SAFE Catholic Reading. The Douay Rheims Bible is Based on the Ancient Vulgate of St. Jerome, the very FIRST Bible in containing all the 73 books in the Catholic Church  in the year c.405 AD,

The New Vulgate (Nova Vulgata) was done by our Current Pope John Paul II, this is the RSV Catholic Edition  containing footnotes of the Ancient Vulgate of St. Jerome. The Ancient Vulgate was used for 390 years and was the only English Catholic bible ever used. To learn more about the oldest bible for English Speaking Catholics you can purchase a book called Which Bible Should You Read? by Thomas A. Nelson not the same Thomas Nelson who is a protestant publisher. TAN Publishers carries the book. It was the only bible used in the liturgy of the mass. Today however we know use the Nova Vulgata in the liturgy of the mass. This book does contain in its foot notes the missing links in its footnotes, and that is why when one purchases the RSV make sure it is the Catholic Edition, because it contains foot note to the oldest Bible the Catholic Church has. God Bless you and may His light and love strengthen you and guide you into all truth through the Authority of the Catholic Church.
