Catholic AnswerThere is no "Protestant Bible". The Bible translation most commonly used by protestants is the Authorized Version, commonly known as the King James Version, which is the name of a translation of the Bible. The Bible is a whole collection of books, and as such does not have a name. The early Church used the Septuagint for their Old Testament, and had many different scrolls in Latin and Greek for their New Testament Scriptures. The first "official" Bible, as in one continuous book was The Vulgate which was a translations of all the Scriptures by St. Jerome in the fourth century.

The closest thing that the Catholic Church has in English is the Douay-Rheims translation, which was made about the same time as the Authorized Version.

Is the Gideon Bible a Catholic Bible?

We were just in a hotel room where I actually read the Gideon Bible in the drawer. I noticed that it was a King James Version. Because of the history of strained politics between the Vatican and England, it's safe to say that the King James Version is not a Catholic Bible. Regardless, I'm sure the Gideons would not object if a Catholic were to read their Bible.
