The scriptures were approved and finalised by a collection of Christian men over a period of about 300 years. But I reckon all of them would admit that it was the Holy Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ that gave them all final direction.
Pardon me, but off the top of my head, I can think of at least thirteen Pope Leo's, so I'm not really sure whom you are talking about. I do know for sure that no Pope has ever "recalled" Bibles. There have been many popes in the last five hundred years who have condemned the numerous protestant "Bibles", especially the more notorious of them. The Catholic Church has been issuing the Scriptures in the Vernacular since roughly the end of the fourth century A.D., around the time when the Scriptures were first officially approved and the numerous spurious "Gospels", Letters, and Apocalypses were denied entry into the approved New Testament. Since that time the Church has been scrupulous about maintaining the integrity of the most Holy Scriptures as they are the very Word of God in the Words of God. The Church has approved many hundreds of translations of the Sacred Scriptures into vernacular languages. The only Bibles that were ever "recalled" or, more properly, burnt and destroyed, were improper translations, heretical commentaries, or mutilated Scriptures. One of the most notorious of these was the King James Version, which was the protestant answer to the dozens of *really* bad translations put out by heretics. The King James Version removed seven books from the canon of the Old Testament, and changed the translation of the New Testament in several places to agree with protestant (heretical) theology. As the Catholic Church deems the Scriptures as something sacred and received, her sacred duty is to preserve the Sacred Scriptures and not to allow mutilated Scriptures to be produced. If you check carefully, you will find that protestant rulers and protestant churches burned far more copies of the Scriptures in an attempt to stem the publication of erroneous versions. The only difference with the Catholic Church is that they had already been in the business of trying to protect the Sacred Scriptures for well over a thousand years before the protestant heresy was ever thought of.
Roman Catholic AnswerFunny thing about that, the Catholic Church wrote and approved the Bible, all approved Bibles are "Catholic Bibles". Without the Catholic Church there would be no Bible today. The only non-Catholic Bibles are protestant Bibles, and the only difference in them, is that they have removed some books from the Old Testament with which they did not agree. So, to answer your question, of course the Bible includes the book of Leviticus.
The Apocrypha. Check it out in Wikipedia

While the NIV bible has been approved by Catholics the Baptist have rejected this version, and have denounced the use of it. Largely due to changing to gender-neutral and changing scriptures from original translation.
Ecclesiasticus, but this book is not included in the Hebrew or Protestant Bibles.

Catholic AnswerThe longest book in the Bible is the book of Psalms, there really is no "Catholic Bible" per se, just Bibles that have not had the Old Testament Deuterocanonicals removed as would be the case with the modern protestant Bibles. Thus a "Catholic Bible" would be any translation that has been approved by the Church and given an Imprimatur.

The books of the Old Testament. Catholic Bibles include passages, and even whole books, added by later Greek authors, which were purged from Jewish Bibles. Protestants followed the Jewish example, and purged the same material.
A policy of the Gideons is to only allow members to pass out their Bibles. If your group is an approved organization, they will come to pass out Bibles. Look in the phone book to find the number of the Gideons in your area.
They might, but its not a translation approved by the Catholic church for their English speaking members to be reading.
