Good News Bible translation

[HillbillyHermit]

I don’t own or read the Good News Bible… but there’s a movie I wanted to see that’s based on the Good News Bible. Does anyone know, does the translation have the imprimatur? (I mean the Catholic edition… and yes I realize that it’s not as literal as the others, etc.)

I’m only talking about watching a movie… not choosing a Bible for devotional reading etc. If it has the imprimatur can we watch it? Does this even apply to movies?

What is the Church teaching on this?

thanks!

I have the Good News Translation: Catholic Edition and it does have the imprimatur.

In your 2nd question, are you asking if the movie has an imprimatur? If so, it doesn’t apply to movies as far as I know. I think it means “let it be printed” if memory serves.
