The official Bible of the Catholic Church is the New Vulgate Edition, which recently replaced the Vulgate of St. Jerome, the official translation into Latin of the New Testament and the Septuagint from the original Greek. St. Jerome also used the Hebrew Scriptures to compare with the Septuagint, although the Septuagint has been the official translation of the Jews since at least the third century before the time of Christ. Translations in English include the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition, the New American Bible, the Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem Bibles, the Douay-Rheims, the Knox Bible, and several others. As long as it has an Imprimatur and a Nihil Obstat behind the title page, it has been approved as conforming to the original.

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.

Is the name Catholic Church Biblical?
.Catholic AnswerThe name "Catholic" came about before the Bible (New Testament) was written completely, and definitely before it was put together in the fourth century. The "Church" part is in the Bible, but not the word "Catholic." Members of the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, and then Pope Damasus and the Council of Rome ordered which books definitively made up the Canon of the New Testament. In other words, the Bible depends upon the Catholic Church, not the other way around. So, no, the words "Catholic Church" do not appear in the New Testament.
How is the Bible used in a Roman Catholic Church?
It is the source of the the Readings and the Gospel at every Mass, and is the inspiration for the responsorial psalms.It is the basis of the Catholic faith and as such influences all their services.Basically, the entire Mass is from the Bible, in one way or another, as well as the entire Divine Office. Nothing in the Catholic faith can in anyway contradict the Bible, it is one of the two sources (along with Sacred Tradition) of the Catholic faith. Further, the Bible is used for personal reading and reflection, as shown in the practice of Lectio Divina and the Breviary.Please note that the Catholic Church is NOT Bible based, the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, decided which books would be in the New Testament, and preserved the Bible for all these centuries: the Church is not based on the Bible, the Bible is based on the Church.
