I wanted to know what bibles are accepted I know Douay-Rheims is usually used but what other versions are accepted?
 
Are you looking for approved Catholic Bibles?

If so, here’s a link to a list of the ones that have been approved since 1983:
usccb.org/bible/approved-translations/

Then there’s, as you mentioned, the Douay-Rheims…and also the RSV-CE (1st and 2nd editions), The Jerusalem Bible, and The New Jerusalem Bible. I know there are more, hopefully someone else will pop in and provide the ones that have slipped my memory.

Accepted by whom and for what purpose? Some translations have Church approval for liturgical use, others for devotional use.
 
I know of:

Douay - Rhymes
Knox
Jerusalem
New Jerusalem
RSV- CE
RSV-2CE
NRSV
Good News Bible (CE)
NAB
Christian Community BIble ( Translations into many languages)

The ESV should be producing a Catholic edition in the next couple of years, as it is to be used for a new Lectionary in most english speaking counties other than the USA from 2014

If you’re in the USA, most likely your parish is using the lectionary with the translation from the New American Bible, as in the USCCB list, New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE).

It’s what I use and the readings are the same as what I hear at Mass and what are in my Breviary for the Liturgy of the Hours.
