The Catholic Bible even changes the reading in Genesis to read 'she will bruise your heel'.

Where on Earth did you get a reading from Genesis other than the Catholic Bible which is the only true and accurate Bible EVER.

The Septuagint, old man. That leads naturally to the Hebrew Torah. The correct rendering of Genesis is right near the beginning.

TC, where did you ever get the idea tha a Catholic Bible is true and accurate? No translation of the original Bible texts is inspired; and being translated by fallible humans, is therefore fallible.

The Old Testament is the written progressive revelation og God's Word to prophets no sooner than four hundred years before Jesus' birth. So that part is not written by "Catholic" authors.

Furthermore, the separate components were set down by Christ-followers before 100 A. D., long before the (false) concept of catholicity occurred to any of the post-Apostolic innovators, so that segment of yhe Bible is not "Catholic" either.

Though Jerome's Latin translation was closer to the original texts, still it was not--and could not be--perfect (not being Holy Ghost inspired); so the coexistent copies of the original texts were authentic, and always better than the Vulgate.

In fact, the Vulgate was so bad that in the 1500s the great Dutch scholar Desiderus Erasmus selected the most faithful Greek texts, rejecting the Alexandrian and Vatican texts; and compiled the faithful Byzantine/Majority Greek Textform, called "the Received Text" from which the English translations of tht day were secured, hence better then, and still better now, thasn any other English translation.

Your "Catholic" translations are rather poorer then and now, my FRiend, and the original Bible contents were/are not Catholic at all.

Then why do so MANY Catholics DISBELIEVE the Creation Story?

And just what specific version is that? Since you assert there is one then you must provide it, rendering all which do not 100% conflate with it to be in error. Note that you have before exampled engaging in argument by spurious assertion, then refusing to answer when challenged.
