The Catholic version of the Bible is called the "Douay-Rheims Bible." It differs from other versions because it includes additional books known as the deuterocanonical books, which are not found in Protestant versions of the Bible.
They differ in the number of books. Catholic has more number of books than Protestant. Protestant Bible only has 7 books while Catholic has 39. A catholic bible has Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur while a Protestant bible does not.
The largest thing was that several parts of the catholic mass were based on tradition not The Bible. He criticized the books of James and Revelation (though they are both in the Lutheran Bible).
