No, that was actually wrong.
It is the Nova Vulgata.
The New American Bible is the Bible which was translated for and is the official Bible of the Catholic Church in the United State, yes, it carries a the Bishops Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat.
Catholic editions of the Bible are available in most languages for better access to the faithful around the world. The official language of the Church is Latin and thus any official references to the Bible by the Universal Church hierarchy are cited in Latin.
Currently, three translations are approved for Catholic liturgical use: the New Jerusalem, the Revised Standard Edition (RSV), and the New American Bible (NAB)
The "official" Catholic version of the Bible is the New Vulgate Bible, which is the official Latin translation of the Sacred Scriptures based on the Septuagint, which was the Greek translation that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, used when He was quoting from the Old Testament, and from the original Latin translation made by St. Jerome, of the Greek New Testament books.
AnswerThe Latin translation of the Bible by Jerome is called the Vulgate.
Bibles and other religious material which has been approved for use by Catholics will have an 'imprimatur' - the official approval of a Catholic bishop or archbishop. This usually appears on the same page as the publisher's details.
Catholics most often refer to the Bible as "The Holy Bible". The official version of the Catholic Bible is the Latin Vulgate, the most accurate translation of the Bible ever done. In English, the most accurate version is the Douay Rheims translation, though one can get the Challoner version as the English is rather archiac in the original.
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.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Gospels in the Bible are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The "Catholic Bible" is the Bible as used by the Church for two millenium.
The New Jerusalem Bible is Catholic.
The Bible that is the official Bible of the Catholic Church is the Vulgate, currently, the New Vulgate. English translations of that includes the Douay-Rheims and the Knox Version of the Bible. Other translations are also available, such as the New Jerusalem, the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition, and the New American Bible, to name just three. Any Bible translation that carries a Nihil Obstat and an Imprimatur on the back of the title page are okay to read.
