1 & 2 Paralipomenon, 1 & 2 Esdras, Tobias, Judith, 1 & 2 Machabees, Canticles of Canticles, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, & Baruch are all books in the OT Catholic Bible that are not in the Protestant Bible. Protestant also has 1 & 2 Samuel but Catholic Bible calls these 1 & 2 Kings. The NT is the same.
They are known as the Deuterocanon, they include the bolded books below (in the Old Testament list) and parts of Esther (10:4-16, 14) and Daniel (3:24-90, 13, 14).

Books of the Bible
The Catholic Church has more than once taught what books are to be regarded as inspired and therefore belong to The Bible. At the Council of Trent, in 1546, the biblical canon was solemnly defined and the Vulgate declared to be authentic:
"The council follows the example of the orthodox Fathers and with the same sense of devotion and reverence with which it accepts and venerates all the books both of the Old and the New Testament, since one God is the author of both, it also accepts and venerates traditions concerned with faith and morals as having been received orally from Christ or inspired by the Holy Spirit and continuously preserved in the Catholic Church. It judged, however, that a list of the Sacred Books should be written into this decree so that no one may doubt which books the council accepts. The list is here given.
A standard listing of the books of the bible, according to the directives of Pope Pius XII, shows a number of variants in the titles of the books, their division and sequence, as follows:

Genesis

Leviticus

Is the name Catholic Church Biblical?
.Catholic AnswerThe name "Catholic" came about before the Bible (New Testament) was written completely, and definitely before it was put together in the fourth century. The "Church" part is in the Bible, but not the word "Catholic." Members of the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, and then Pope Damasus and the Council of Rome ordered which books definitively made up the Canon of the New Testament. In other words, the Bible depends upon the Catholic Church, not the other way around. So, no, the words "Catholic Church" do not appear in the New Testament.
What other religions have similar Bibles?
Ummm... Similar to what, exactly? There are different versions of the Bible, in the sense that several Christian groups (and a few non-Christian groups, such as Judaism) differ in what books they consider to be "canon", that is, what books are included in the Bible. Other religions (non-Christians) have their own Holy Scripture, but those are different books, and they are not called "Bible". You would have to make up your own mind as to how "similar" you consider them to be.
