I can tell you that this version of the RSV was prepared by a committee of the Catholic Biblical Association of Great Britain.New Testament version published in 1946 and the whole Bible published in 1952.

Nuff said. You need a new Bible. Because the RCC has such an agenda, I would always recommend a more independent translation, but if you would only feel comfortable with something that said "Catholic" on it. Consider the NAB.

There have been a lot of important developments in the Greek text and while I am not really sure of what they did, my understanding is that they took as much as they could from the earlier and better manuscripts consistent with preserving RCC doctrine. You can see it on the conference of catholic bishops website at:http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/index.htm. Try it out. You will like it a lot better. And, of course, it is a "Catholic bible". [Obviously, my hope is that you might want to broaden your view once you get a taste of the Gospel in a way you can understand. That's why the modern language is so important.]
