Does the Catholic Bible include Leviticus?

Roman Catholic AnswerFunny thing about that, the Catholic Church wrote and approved the Bible, all approved Bibles are "Catholic Bibles". Without the Catholic Church there would be no Bible today. The only non-Catholic Bibles are protestant Bibles, and the only difference in them, is that they have removed some books from the Old Testament with which they did not agree. So, to answer your question, of course the Bible includes the book of Leviticus.

Do Catholics teach Bible truths?

YesRoman Catholic Answerfrom The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994141 "The church has always venerated the divine Scriptures as she venerated the Body of the Lord" (Dei Verbum) 21): both nourish the govern the whole Christian life. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Ps 119:105; cf. Isa 50:4).


What Scriptures did the Catholic Church change in the Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.

What book is the largest book in the Catholic Bible?

Catholic AnswerThe longest book in the Bible is the book of Psalms, there really is no "Catholic Bible" per se, just Bibles that have not had the Old Testament Deuterocanonicals removed as would be the case with the modern protestant Bibles. Thus a "Catholic Bible" would be any translation that has been approved by the Church and given an Imprimatur.


Why is The Bible catholic?

The term 'catholic' in this sense means 'universal.' In that the Bible is worldwide, it Is catholic. This has nothing to do with the Catholic Church.


What stories are different in the Catholic Bible?

Catholic AnswerThe Bible used by the Catholic Church has been the same Bible used by Christians for 2,000 years. The Old Testament is based on the Septuagint, which was the Bible used by the Jews for three hundred years up through the time of Christ, and the New Testament was composed by the Catholic Church and finalized in A.D. 392 at the Council of Rome. At that time St. Jerome's translation was approved by the Church and it has not changed since that time. So I guess the better question would be "different from what?"

Which Bible does the Catholic Church believe is the best?

The "best" Bible is the one that you use. The official Bible for the Catholic Church is the New Vulgate, an updating of St. Jerome's Latin translation of the Sacred Scriptures. The Old Testament is the Septuagint, the Greek translation that Our Blessed Lord used, and is used for most of the quotes in the New Testament. The official New Testament is the the New Vulgate.
