The Bibles are basically the same but there are several books from the Old Testament that have been part of the Catholic Bible for nearly 2000 years that the Protestants didn't like so threw them out of their Bible after the Reformation in the 16th century.

∙ 14y agoThere is general debate between Catholics and Protestants regarding translation of certain words and phrases, while their canons are a totally different story. Generally, the rule is, Catholics follow the Septuagint (132 BC), and Protestants the Council of Jamnia (90 AD). That's why their Canons don't match with each other. Furthermore, even the names of the books of The Bible are different, Catholics use Latinised words, Protestants use Greek-souding words.
Nevertheless, the Word of God is the same and saying that just because the English translations don't match each other just doesn't prove that the originals didn't either.

∙ 13y agoThe majority of European Catholics are not (native) English-speakers. The ones in England were martyred or "converted" to Church of England (episcopalianism). But Irish Catholics could use the same Bible as Catholics in the US. But there are different (approved) translations of the Catholic Bible, too.
Another take:
The given answer suggests that there is no Roman Catholic community in England; that is not at all the case. The difficulties regarding Catholicism in England (Ireland is another matter) ended centuries ago. there is a healthy Roman Catholic presence in the United Kingdom.
Another Answer:
First of all, there is no single collection of Jewish Scripture. The Latin Vulgate was derived from the Septuagint, which was the Greek translation of Jewish Scripture. The Septuagint was used mainly by Greek speaking Jews possibly as early as the 3rd century BC. This collection continued to be in use well into the time after Christ, and since many early Christians spoke Greek it was not surprising that the Septuagint would be used by those Christians. The Vulgate was assembled and translated into Latin in the 4th century AD using the Septuagint for the Old Testament and the books of the New Testament that are still in the Bible today.
The Catholic Church has approved many translations of the Bible. Possibly the most popular and helpful Catholic Bible in the United States is the New American Bible, which was approved by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops in 1970 and subsequently in the following years with the publishing of new editions.
Each nation's council of bishops is allowed to confer on official editions and translations of the Bible for their respective nations as long as they have official approval from the Holy See.
To answer the original question:No, the Americans use the New American Bible (NAB) whereas The Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSV-CE) and the Jerusalem Bible are popular in Europe. The New American Bible was very unacceptable and was subsequently revised numerous times but the name hasn't changed. After considerably debate, the Vatican has allowed the New Revised Standard Version catholic Edition (NRSV-CE) as well. The new Jerusalem Bible has mostly replaced the Old Jerusalem Bible. The Jerusalem Bible is a thoroughly European version, being originally a French translation, it has been translated in many other European tongues.This isn't new, back when the standard Bible amongst Catholics universally was the Douay-Rheims (Challoner) Bible, the Americans had a different one back in 1889 called the Douay-Rheims 1889 American Edition while the Europeans continued to use the British spellings.
Traditional Catholics still use the Douay-Rheims along with the Clementine Vulgate throughout the English-Speaking world.

∙ 12y agoNot exactly. The Roman Catholic Bible includes several books which they call the "deuterocanonical" ("second authoritative") books and most Protestant sects call the "apocrypha" ("hidden writings").
There are a few Protestant sects that accept the apocrypha, but most do not, and it's from this that "apocrypha" has acquired the English meaning "false, spurious, unreliable" (the actual Greek it's based on just means "hidden writings", as noted above, and makes no implication about the truth or falsity of them).

Catholic AnswerDo Catholics use a different Bible from what? Catholics use the same Old Testament that Our Blessed Lord used when He was on earth - the Septuagint, and the New Testament as approved by the Pope and the Bishops in union with him at the Council of Rome in the late fourth century. So the Catholic Old Testament has been in continuous use since the fourth century B.C., and the Catholic New Testament has been in use since the fourth century A.D. This is certainly different from the current Jewish Bible as they threw out the Deuterocanonical books in the late first century in opposition to Christian teachings based on those books, and the Bible used by the protestants, as they accepted the canon of the Jews who had rejected Christianity and Christ (instead of the canon used by all Christians since the time of Christ).Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThere is no way a Catholic should ever accept such a mistake-prone, error-filled, truncated copy of the Sacred Scriptures as the King James Version. The King James Version, named after the famous morally corrupt king of England was a translation based on Martin Luther's truncated version of the Scriptures, and sought to *slant* translations so as to favor the interpretation of those who disagree with the previous 1,500 years of Christian teaching.

What is the name of the Bible that is not mentioned in the protestants Bible?

What is in the Orthodox Bible?
Orthodox Christians use the same Bible as Catholics, Protestants, and most other Christian denominations.
Why are there Catholic and Protestant translations of the Bible?
Both Bibles are basically the same. However, Protestants have rejected a number of books of the Bible that the Catholics have considered as canoninical for nearly 2000 years.
Catholics and Christians Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo difference, Catholic and Christian is the same thing. I imagine that you are asking the difference between a Catholic/Christian Bible and a protestant Bible, which protestants may refer to as a Christian Bible. Protestants have removed a number of books from the Old Testament as they were uncomfortable with not believing things that the Bible said, so they changed the Bible.

DUP are anti-same-sex marriage, anti-abortion, conservative Catholics tend to be more left-wing. Sinn Féin are pro-same-sex marriage, pro-abortion, liberal Young Protestants are in flute bands Young Catholics do Irish dancing Protestants see the Queen as their figure head Catholics see the Pope as their figure head Catholics have larger families because of disapproval of contraception. *These are just stereotypes that I have just grown up with and do not apply to the majority of people here. Just a bit of banter.
Why do all Catholics in the world share the same beliefs?
Unlike Protestants, Catholics have a central leadership - the Pope and bishops - who assure we are all share the same beliefs.
Do Protestants consider themselves to be better than Catholics?
Well that would depend on who you ask. Some Protestants would consider themselves to be better than Catholics but other Protestants would not. That said, most Protestant churches do believe that their doctrines are better than the doctrines of the Catholic Church. In other words, some Protestants believe that their doctrine is true but the Catholic Church's same doctrine on said topic is false incorrect in a not totally false way so in one sense, some Protestant churches do believe that they are better than Catholic churches but when it comes to individual Protestants versus individual Catholics, it varies from person to person.

Do Christians and Catholics use the same bible?

What are the main differces between protestants and catholics in Northern Ireland?
Their differences are their religious culture. Catholics are often nationalists in that they want Ireland to become one state Protestants are often unionists in that they want to remain apart of the United Kingdom. Catholics believe that the English monarch who are protestant oppressed them Protestants have the same religion as the monarch and therefore believe that the the British monarch is good. Catholics see the Pope as head of their church Protestants see the Queen as head of their church. However many protestants prefer to call the Queen as leader of their church with God being the head of the Church. Catholics see the tri-colour flag as their flag Protestants see the union flag as their flag
Do Protestants have the same prophets as Catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerTo the extent that they have the same Old Testament, they have the same "prophets", although the protestants threw out seven books from the Bible, so the prophets in those books, they would not have.
What is the different between a roman chatholic and a protestant religion in term of doctrine?
I am a Protestant and in terms of beliefs we are very much the same, the biggest difference is that protestants say the final word is the Bible and no Church leader has more authority than that. Also there are more rituals for Catholics. The last thing that is greatly different is confessions which we (Protestants) believe that you only need to confess to God, where as Catholics must have the Priest as an intercessor between man and God.
