As Fr. Joseph said, “The Church never burned the Bible to keep people from reading it.” The “Bibles” in question were so badly translated that they were heretical and should not even be called Bibles. The Church suppressed these books to protect us from being confused by horrible translations. Even today, only the following English Bible translations are approved by the Catholic Church for personal use: • Douai-Rheims http://www.drbo.org/ • Confraternity Edition • Revised Standard Version (RSV) – Catholic Edition • New American Bible (NAB) http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/ • Jerusalem Bible • New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)- Catholic Edition • New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) http://www.catholic.org/bible/ • Today’s English Version – Catholic Edition
