That’s not what those titles mean and have never been what those titles mean. Not even close. Neither the Catholic nor the Protestant ones. It’s not talking about teaching or canon or Scripture itself. It doesn’t change verses or teachings. Check one out and see what I mean. Women’s Bibles are pretty and flowery and have notes that discuss important things for women. Men’s Bibles aren’t pink and shades of pastel and have notes that pertain to Catholic/Christian men.

Much like “youth” or “children’s” Bibles aren’t anti-adult, but explain things through inserts and illustrations so children can understand them. I actually have a Catholic youth Bible even though I’m an adult for that reason: it helped early on in my exploration of the faith.

66 books is Protestant canon and not something we as Catholics should use as a primary source, I agree. And not every Bible has footnotes. Some are just - Bibles.

I happen to have a Woman’s Bible too, that I received as a gift.

It’s very pretty, and it has an area for notes in it, where you can notate things.

I have a couple of Catholic Bibles, too, and a very beautiful Bible that I received from my maternal Grandmother as a Confirmation gift.

It was lovingly passed down to me. It belonged to my Grandfather. She had saved it for me. It is not a Catholic Bible. They were both Lutheran. I will sometimes compare translations and will look at it when I want to do that. 🙂

I have two “Protestant” KJVs that are very important to me. One was given to my by my Baptist grandparents when I was little. Another was given to me by the local Ruritan club when I graduated from high school.

The verses I can quote from memory are pretty much all KJV. It’s beautiful language in my opinion.

I’d like your post, but I’m out of them for the day! LOL.

Or if you’re crafty and creative, you could make your own lovely Bible or prayer journal.
