There are several authorized Catholic versions, sure. But as the scholars have researched and more information has become available, the versions have gotten, we believe, more accurate, and closer to the original intent.
I don't disagree with you except I believe there is no such thing as an absolutely "perfect" Bible, one with no translations errors whatsoever. Rather, I feel most Bibles are sufficiently accurate to be useful. (2 Timothy 3:)
Just reasonable, just reasonable. My littlest one just turned 2 and she is the one of the 7 greatest blessings that God has bestowed on me in my lifetime.
The trouble is that there are some differences about Bibles, some major, some minor. If there is no completely objective source (stone tablets from God, say), then who is to say that THIS particular version in THIS particular verse says EXACTLY this and means EXACTLY this?
We believe that that authority is the Catholic Church, left to us by Jesus. You either have that or you have anybody coming up with anything with equal amount of authority.
