Catholic AnswerIf you are asking if there is an organization that distributes Catholic Bibles, as the Gideons do, I do not know of one. Keep in mind, that although the Catholic Church venerates The Bible as the very Word of God in the words of God, its proper place in is in the liturgy, that is what the Catholic Church originally used to determine which books would be in the Bible, and how she came to "canonize" the New Testament - she used the books that were approved to be read at the Mass to determine which books would constitute the New Testament. In other words, the Catholic Church is more interested in people converting to Christ and attending Mass then she is in putting Bibles in people's hands. To hand out Bibles to the uneducated (in Bible interpretration) is just asking for trouble. Without education, they tend to misinterpret what they read, and get things out of proportion, which is why there are now over 30,000 different sects of protestants, they believe that the Bible is "easy to understand" and that each man can interpret it for himself.THe Gideon International Bible is most certainly not a Bible approved by the Catholic Church.
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.
The Gideon Bible is provided in hotels.

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.
