"The NAB is the default American Catholic translation. The NASB is a Protestant translation."

So THAT's where the apochrypha went. ;-) Thanks for that heads up. The only Catholic bible I'm familiar with is the New Catholic Edition because my wife is a Catholic (Christmas/Easter variety) and that's the translation of her Bible. I plan to do a study of Catholic text in the future. Do Catholics use the Septaugint as their OT text? The more I study the more I think the Septaugint may be the most accurate OT version.

Byzantine Catholics often do.

The best two Catholic (English) translations are the Jerusalem Bible (not the New Jerusalem) and the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (again, not the New Revised Standard anything). IMO, of course.
