There is an earlier Catholic translation of the Bible called Dhouay-Reims. But that is as difficult to read as the KJV. Anybody here like the RSV?

Well, Douay-Rheims, yes. I have multiple editions of the DRV - including the first (at least in facsimile) and last ones produced.

I like the RSV. Being Catholic I am partial to the RSV/CE. One of the best Bibles in English a Christian can buy is this one: https://www.christianbook.com/oxford-annotated-apocrypha-expanded-edition-hardcover/9780195283488/pd/8900?event=ESRCG It has all the Biblical books, and excellent, concise notes. It’s a real treasure. The leather bound version is beautifully made: https://www.christianbook.com/oxford-annotated-apocrypha-genuine-leather-black/9780195283358/pd/8335X?event=ESRCG#CBD-PD-Description The leather version apparently is not the “expanded” version, but is still very worthwhile. Top notch production.

The only RSV that will surpass those will be the Ignatius Study Bible, which, sadly, is not fully finished.
The New Testament is completely done and available in a single volume.
The Old Testament is only partially published in a handful of booklets.

That's my go-to Bible.

I also have the Oxford KJV with Apocrypha, the Dhouay-Reims, and the Jerusalem for comparison.
