You should be able to purchase a Catholic Bible at any reputable book seller, store or on the web. Just make sure that The Bible contains an Imprimatur and a Nihil Obstat, which are guarantees from a Catholic Bishop and censor that the Bible is complete and that everything in it is in conformity with Christian doctrine. See links below for Catholic booksellers.

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.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, the Bible contains the book of Ruth.
The word "catholic" does not appear anywhere in the bible.
