Fulton Sheen recommended the New English Bible to us when he preached a retreat in 1973.

Wow, that had to be something. I am currently reading his "On Being Human" it is absolutely fantastic.

I've never been able to find a Jerusalem Bible on line. Copyright issues? Or can someone direct me to a link?

I'm Protestant, but am very partial to the New Jerusalem Bible. I also use the Zonderman NIV Study Bible. I have found the new "The Way" translation/paraphrase version useful because the 'author' has adapted the parables to items which modern folk will understand. (The sense of the original is still there, I'm referring to changing agrarian examples to modern urban equivalent in some places.)

Among other Bibles - Douai, Navarre, ect - I have the Ignatius Bible. I remember finding a misprint/error one of the first times I used it.

My memory ain't whatit used to be but I will try to remember what it was
