squid,

You must’ve overlooked this article that the staff of Catholic Answers has written.

catholic.com/library/Bible_Translations_Guide.asp

However, if you scan through this Scripture Forum, you’ll see discussed the pros and cons of several different translations of the Bible, both Catholic and non-Catholic, and you’ll notice that we never quit, either.

My own take: for high accuracy, the Douay-Rheims; for better readability coupled with good accuracy, the RSV-CE; for an innovative approach with some hefty amounts of study material, the New Jerusalem Bible (1985) regular edition.

Toss it. Here’s why (and it’s got nothing to do with being “accepted” or not by the Church).
