Faithful Traditional Catholic Publishers

[Margaret_Ann]

I have the booklet Which Bible Should You Read? and thought about giving it away but after reading your post will definitely keep it. It is really good about pointing out some of the mistranslations of various verses esp. Gen. 3:15. The Douay-Rheims is the only translation that correctly translates that particular verse. For accuracy, the Douay-Rheims is the best. RSVCE is #2 on my list.

Yes I agree and I would definitely hold on to it. I have the same booklet, which I was lucky enough to find at a Catholic bookstore probably around the time that they decided to discontinue selling it.

I think Thomas A Nelson did a good job and showed why, even by today’s standards, the Douay-Rheims Bible is still one of the best bibles we can own.

I would really love to hear what his views are about the Confraternity New Testament and the Knox version, since those two, are the only other English versions which used the Vulgate as the basis for their translation.

I believe so. Not my library but I have many of the books shown. I would like to have the three volume Roman Breviary that is up on the top right.

Some “traditional” Catholic publishers have been approved by the Church, and are in union with their bishop. Some are not.

Something to consider. Anyone can call themselves Traditional Catholic Publishers.

Some “traditional” Catholic publishers have been approved by the Church, and are in union with their bishop. Some are not.

The good ones from what I have learned are:
Baronius Press
TAN Books
St Benedict Press
Anything offered on the website of Fraternity Publications

The ones I am not sure about are:
Brother Hermenegild TOSF
Angelus Press

Angelus Press

It really depends with Angelus Press. If it’s spiritual classics like the Imitation of Christ, it’s fine. Their missal is also fine, and I prefer it to the FSSP’s. Just avoid their stuff on Vatican II and Archbishop Lefebvre. And if you can buy it from another place, do so before going to Angelus Press.

Not every publisher in union with the Church is completely reliable. Some were approved many decades ago, when they were more consistent than they are now. This, like the “Imprimatur”, are not the only standard, it’s a minimum passing grade
Some publishers who have permission of their bishop are more reliable than others. But it is still a useful standard.

If a publisher is not in union with their local bishop - probably too far to the Right, too far to the Left, Fundamentalist, New Age, or other reason - try to avoid them.
