The original AV1611, what we call the King James Version, was originally published with a translation of the Deuterocanonicals but they were included in an appendix.

That is just what I;m talking about a proestant friend is trying to say that the KJB 1611 is a Catholic Bible. I say it was a Proestant bible just with the appendix

Well, people are of different minds on the matter, I suppose.
I guess it depends on whether one thinks it’s essential that the Deuteros be properly intercalated or can be relegated to an appendix.
Haven’t the American Bishops approved the RSV with appended Deuteros?

And you can view the KJV Apocrypha online at the following site:

Finally, be aware that there has been one attempt at a modern update of the KJV, known as the New Millenium Bible. This text also includes the Apocrypha:

Hope this clarifies things a tad.
Well of course Anglicans often don’t see themselves as being either Roman Catholic OR as Protestant but simply as English Christians; so for many of us the KJV is likewise neither Protestant nor Catholic. It is simply an English translation of the Bible. But since the question seems to center around whether or not one can find the Deuterocanonicals in the KJV, the answer is–yes, the KJV was originally published with the Deuterocanonicals. And you CAN obtain the KJV today with the Deuterocanonicals, aka the ‘Apocrypha’:

KJ was “raised” by Elizabeth, a Protestant. His marriage was arranged to Ann of Denmark, a Luthern I believe. She converted to Catholicism. He spent his later years with his lover, not Ann, but the duke of Windsor or Buckingham I believe.
KJ needed to compete with Henry for religious “dominance”, and thus commissioned 50 or so of his court (teachers, students, jesters or whatever) to produce the KJV.
Can you imagine someone giving a commission to Ted Kennedy and Kerry et al to give us a Catholic Bible?
KJ’s mom, Mary, was a Catholic, and her murder was for reasons that included her Catholicity.

The charge that King James was homosexual is widely disputed:
jesus-is-lord.com/rumors.htm
av1611.com/kjbp/faq/james-h.html
baptistpillar.com/bd0463.htm
That’s hardly a fair-minded charge. In point of fact the translators of the KJV were some of the best English scholars of Biblical languages of their day.

We can disagree about the merits of the KJV without being rancourous about it I would hope.

If you want a King James ~like Catholic Bible, take a look at the Douay Rheims Bible.

James I Stuart wasn’t raised by Elizabeth I Tudor.
He was James VI of Scotland when Elizabeth his cousin died without issue having named him her successor.
He was raised in Scotland and tutored by the staunch Presbyterian George Buchanan.
His accession to the throne was hailed by puritans and other evangelicals since he had been bred and taught from the earliest age to be a protestant monarch.
However, James had a very deep commitment to the idea of divine right and was definitely leaning toward at least some measure of tolerance for Roman Catholics.
The gunpowder plot effectively put an end to it though.
James was intelligent, a master of the biblical languages, witty and theologically articulate. But it remains difficult to peg him and his 22 year reign over both Scotland and England represents a continuation of the Elizabethan settlement with somewhat slightly more tolerance of puritan opinions in the Church of England.
We will never know if he was gay or not until we either build a time machine or get some irrefutable documentary evidence. It is just as likely that the charge is slander.

The KJV is generally accepted (and not just by Protestants) to be a masterpiece of the language in which it was written as well as a fair and accurate translation of the texts used.
It’s worth noting that the puritans didn’t like and didn’t immediately adopt the Authorized Version, preferring their Geneva Bible and considering it (the AV1611) a tool of the Bishops of the Established Church (Church of England) which they considered little better than Roman Catholicism incompletely reformed.

The original Latin Vulgate that was used in a large portion of the translation of the KJV is even better!
