A popular question and an excellent explanation.

Agreed, on both points. Regarding the section titled "Different Bibles," I can't tell you how many non-Catholics have thanked me for lending them a copy of the Douay-Rheims so that they could read about Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon, and more. They often even appreciate Machabees, at least more than they expected to.

I especially like that they alluded to the "chained bibles" (since Protestants occasionally raise the question), though I wish the author had gone further and explained the expense of such bibles in those days (an entire herd of cattle to produce enough parchment for just one), and the consequent risk of theft.

From the article:

In most every Catholic parish, instead of Bibles in the pews there are books known as Mass books (or missals) that contain not only the Sunday Mass readings but the prayers and sequence of the Mass.
