Basically what is the most proper translation for a returning, traditionally minded Catholic? Any Bibles that include original languages to check the translation? Many thanks for viewing.

Baronius Press sells a bible with the Douay-Rheims translation on one side and Latin Vulgate on the other. If you have the money for it, I’d go for it (it’s like $80). But in terms of general translations in English, I’d recommend the Douay-Rheims or RSV-2CE.

I own one of those Bibles, and it is an absolute treasure! I would recommend it to anyone/everyone.

At our local FSSP parish, the priest uses the RSV-CE and RSV-2CE. When he does Bible study, he only allows people to read from the RSV-CE or RSV-2CE. And I know he perfers the RSV-2CE.

NOTE: the RSV-2CE stands for “Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.” And it is often known as the “Ignatius Bible” because created by Ignatius Press.

God Bless
 
You should read Scripture more often.
Ideally yes, but I’ve just never taken to it. I pray the Liturgy of the Hours, and do spiritual reading, but I rarely read Scripture from the Bible unless I need to see the exact wording of something being referenced.

I suggest you purchase “The Bible in a Year” from the Augustine Institute. It uses the RSV-2CE translation and is rearranged so you can do select readings from the NT, OT and Wisdom Books each day.

Right now, they have a special - buy 1 get one free.

Thank you for the suggestion, but the issue isn’t a lack of time. The best way I can word it is a lack of interest, but even then that’s a poor way to phrase it.
