Now, there are certain Catholic Bibles that go a long way in that direction of explaining the beliefs of Christ’s Church in detail. This is one of them: http://www.amazon.com/Ignatius-Catholic-Study-Bible-Testament/dp/1586172506

That is no more than a very bad translation of the scriptures coupled with a commentary on the scriptures and is in the same rank as the 'Watchtower Magazine'...

“That is no more than a very bad translation of the scriptures”

No, actually the RSV is a generally well regarded translation. It has always had its enemies - but so does every other translation (including the KJV, NIV, NKJV, NAB, NEB, etc).

“coupled with a commentary on the scriptures and is in the same rank as the ‘Watchtower Magazine’...”

Again, false. No scholars works on the Watchtower Magazine. Only scholars work on the ISB. I know one of them personally. He is a brilliant scholar, formerly a Protestant minister, who discovered the truth of the Catholic faith and converted. There are no such scholars who work for the Watchtower Magazine.

It amazes me to what lengths Protestant anti-Catholics will go to defame all things Catholic.
