Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.

.

The Catholic Bible was originally all in Greek, the Old Testament was the Septuagint, translated by the Jews in the fourth century (approximately) B.C., and the New Testament was written in Greek. The official Bible was established in the fourth century A.D. and translated into Latin by Jerome in order that the common people could have access to it. At that time, Latin was the standard language for anyone who could read and write. Later, the Church began translated the Bible into native languages for the people as they were no longer literate in Latin. The official Bible remains in Latin, to which all translations should adhere.

I know you didn't ask, but "Roman Catholic Bible"? All Bibles are based on the Bible that the Catholic Church wrote, and approved. The only difference with non-Catholic Bibles is that they do not accept the Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament, even though Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ used that version. The "protestant" New Testament would not exist if they hadn't taken it from the Catholic Church.
