I’ve read their advertisements . . . which proclaim this version does not include the corruption of “inclusive language” which changes the Holy See is being so wonderfully vigilant as to absolutely refuse to accept or allow . . . which is a big plus and a very good thing . . . *I haven’t had a chance to check it yet otherwise . . . *Please excuse me for being such a dunce but I still find getting the correct bible very confusing along with confusion on getting the correct missal.
The bible I have is the Holy :bible1: Bible
Revised Standard Version
Second Catholic Edition.
Is this one OK?
I am not aware of statements by the Holy See about the NRSV. In the United States the NAB is used, but here in Canada, the NRSV-CE is used (or at least the Lectionary tries to be similar to the NRSV, as is explained in my “Living with Christ” Sunday Missal booklet).New Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition (1989). An adaptation for Catholic use of the NRSV of the National Council of the Churches of Christ. Although used in the American edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, it was rejected for liturgical use by the Holy See owing to inclusive language … ******

While I don’t profess to be an expert on Bible translations, the Douay-Rheims is a good version to read due to its stylistic elements (one can get a new perspective on certain parts of the Bible), I enjoy the NRSV and feel I can trust it and understand the Bible correctly, given that it is written in modern English.
