Wasn't there already a thread on this topic?

That could be said for just about everything talked about anymore.

I read the RSV-CE or RSV when looking up verses online (since I've never seen the Catholic Edition available online).

I haven't come across the RSV-CE online, but have found the NRSV at www.unboundbible.org with the deuteros.

I'm not such a big fan of the NRSV, or what I've read of it anyway. Sometimes RSV reads a little clunky, but overall I like the older verbiage. Studylight.org has the RSV, NRSV, Douay-Rheims, and Latin Vulgate. You don't see that every day

I'm no expert in biblical translations, but I have heard that the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition is among the [b][u]most [/u][u]accurate English[/u][/b] translations. It also reads well, at least in my opinion.

If the Catholic Church is 100% accurate in it's rules/teaching then all Bibles accepted by the Church should be 100% accurate and lucid!

The church never has said that any of the english translations are perfect....They give the imprimatur, which means it is free from any doctrinal error. But every translation of the Bible isnt going to be perfect unless you are reading it straight from the original language. But never has the Church had a teaching about how a certain translation is 100% accurate and lucid.

P.S. By the way the Catholic Church claims that the Pope is infallible, only when teaching on Faith(like Jesus is true man and true God) and Morals(abortion is intrinsically evil). We do not teach that everything the Pope says or does is infallible. or without error that is just plain unreasonable and if one were to think this is how the Church thinks, they are sorely mistaken.
Pope Pius XII did isssue an encyclical on the holy scriptures and how they should be made accesable to the modern man. But never did he say these translations would be without error

I like the Douay-Rheims Bible. Has anyone got the CTS-Jerusalem version? the footnotes are pretty good.

That one's alright if you know exactly what you're looking for. The other online Bibles have better search tools, translations of the Hebrew/Greek, and all kinds of tasty goodness.

Lucidity is in the eye of the reader. I think "she or he" reads and sounds awkward, but others find it respectful.

Any Bible accepted by the Church is without error: that is an objective point.

Catholic Theological Society.

That's my guess

Neither am I, but that's what I had found at the time. Thanks for the website!
