Are there any? If so, I’d love to know. If not…maybe we should make one 😛
 
It all depends on what you call a Catholic Bible. You can get the KJV with the deuterocanonical books, although they will probably be grouped together between the testaments, not in the same order you would find them in a Catholic Bible. However, the KJV, at least the New Testament, is translated from the Textus Receptus which to my knowledge is a manuscript not approved by the Catholic Church.
 
Yeah, I’ve seen DRB.

Edit: Wow, you’re right. This is really similar. Thanks 😃
 
Honestly the KJ was more refined, but later on the DR was updated and revised. As comparisons…

Ephesians (3:6-12)

DR: That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body: and copartners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power. To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: and to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things: that the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church, according to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord: in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
KJV;That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
 
I also want to point out that the King James Bible we have no isn’t the original. It’s been revised, too.

I Corinthians 13 original and revised KJV Comparisons:
Code: 
1. Though I speake with the tongues of men & of Angels, and haue not charity, I am become as sounding brasse or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I haue the gift of prophesie, and vnderstand all mysteries and all knowledge: and though I haue all faith, so that I could remooue mountaines, and haue no charitie, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestowe all my goods to feede the poore, and though I giue my body to bee burned, and haue not charitie, it profiteth me nothing.

I like the revised better 😛

I can’t read writings with “u” in the place of “v”. :o

Also, f was used in place of s.

Actually, the f character was a form of “s.” If you look at pictures of the original Declaration of Independence and Constitution, you’ll see f, s, and the regular f.

On the original post, the Douay-Rheims is about as close as you’d get to a “Catholic KJV.” The idea of a Catholic version of a Bible commissioned and authorized by the protestant King of England is, well, interesting, but… no.

Actually, the KJV drew on the original Douay-Rheims, while the KJV, in turn, influenced the “Challoner Revision” of the Douay-Rheims, which is the D-R version now in use. So, in a sense, the D-R is the “Catholic KJV” - you keep the elegant 16th century language, but use a translation approved by the Church to boot. Can’t get any better than that! The only thing - the Psalms are numbered differently, and the Books use the Greek, rather than the Hebrew, names.

**This is something I love pointing out to adherents of the KJVO superstition, who say they like the KJV as originally published.

They are not aware that the last two revisions of the KJV was in 1769 in Britain and then in 1904 in the USA by ABS, which normalized it according to American spellings.**

Most go by the 1611 Authorized Version. That one is actually my favorite. 😉
