tell me, do you have an English Language catholic bible? because at one time, Rome was opposed to that too.
The first English translation of the bible was Catholic. The Douey-Rheims. Yes, it's still in print, thanks to Tan Books.

Actually, there were some earlier English translations. Most were incomplete. Some, unfortunately, were either inaccurate or heretical. These latter the Church attempted to suppress. I found
this to be in interesting and readable (although not scholarly) accounting of the history of the Bible.
