∙ 11y agoNone, the Catholic Church doesn't "follow" The Bible, they wrote it as part of their preaching and approved it. The Catholic Church is the one who approved and guarded the Sacred Scriptures for two thousand years.The Churchuses the Vulgate as its official translation. When the Church issued the Bible that we have now, back in the late fourth century, she used the same Hebrew Scriptures that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, used which was the Greek translation called the Septuagint. Saint Jerome translated the entire Bible into Latin in the fourth century, and that is the official translation that the Church has used since then in her proclamation of the Scriptures at Mass. Individuals may use any approved translation for personal use. The translation used by the Vatican for English (such as the Catechism) is the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition. The New American Bible is the translation that is used for the proclamation at Mass. Any Bible that is complete and contains a Nihil
Obstat
and an Imprimitar
may be used for personal use.

Why do people believe in the Bible?
Catholic AnswerThe Bible contains the Word of God in the words of God, so as we believe in God, we believe in His Word. The Bible has been written and guaranteed by the Church, so we accept it as such. ===general answer===John 1:1 (NKJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.So if you believe in God then you believe in the Word of God. And if someone does follow a certain denomination, it is always best to follow what is taught to them according to their church. If they do not follow a certain denomination and wants to learn about the Word of God then they should search for a local church and keep seeking until they are satisfied with what they are being taught.
