The Catholic Bible is the Bible used by Catholics and typically refers to the Douay-Rheims Bible (16th century), or to those Bible translations which contain the deuterocanonical books found in the Latin Vulgate —just as "Protestant Bible" refers to translations descended from the Tyndale Bible and generally do not contain these books, considering them apocryphal or non-canonical.
Additionally, Catholic Bibles are published only after receiving an imprimatur, or approval for publication, from a Catholic bishop.
