The Catholic Bible is the Holy Bible. Nothing else needs to be said.

Before any written texts, there were oral teachings (of One God)
The Pentateuch ("The Law"), is the first 5 books of the Old Testament (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). First written by Moses (inspired by God) c.1,300 B.C. to c. 454 or 100 B.C.
OLD TESTAMENT: 46 completed books c. 100 B.C.(note: 46 books, NOT only 39 as is in the Protestant versions)
THE SEPTUAGINT: (the sole and official canon of the Catholic O.T.) c. 280 or 250 B.C. to 100 B.C.
Under Pharaoh of Egypt: Ptolemy Philedelphus commissioned 70 Jewish Scholars (Scribes) to translate into the vernacular (common language spoken at the time): GREEK This is the Greek translation that Jesus and His Apostles (and Jews at the time) used, and quoted from as well.
(After the dispersions of the Jews, they began to lose their Hebrew tongue, and Greek, which was the universal language at the time, became their spoken tongue.)
After the death of Jesus, and many of His Apostles, c. 100 A.D., in the village of Jamnia (in ancient Israel -see "Jabneh") the Sadducees (enemies of Christ and non-believers in the resurrection, life-afer-death, and angels...) assembled a completely new version of Jewish scripture, omitting some books entirely and rewriting others.
The result is the JAMNIAN CANON, or, the PALESTINIAN TALMUD.
(There is also another version known as the BABYLONIAN TALMUD.)In Acts 5: 17-19, it states that the Sadducees were particularly zealous enemies of Christianity.
One of them for instance (Aquila) removed the word PARTHENOS (virgin), from Isaiah 7:14, and rendered it NEANIS (a young woman)shall conceive. That way they could assert that the prophecy didn't match what the Christians were teaching.
An interesting note: Since the deviation from the True Old Testament, Judaism has splintered into many different sects. (Sounds familiar as has happened to Protestants, there are currently 33,000 different Protestant sects with more new ones being established each year.)
During the Reformation, the Protestants rejected the Catholic Bible and adopted the (altered) Hebrew Bible, that does not have the complete 46 Books and verses.
This is why the Protestant's "Old Testament" part of their Bible has only 39 Books, and incomplete passages/verses in parts.
Thus, the (altered) Hebrew Bible is what the Jews today use, and the Church has the TRUE, complete, Old Testament. So we see that the two differ.
The Prostestants have the Hebrew Old Testament as part of their Bible, and the Catholic New Testament. So we see that before the Reformation the True Church has always kept intact the True Scriptures - Old and New.
And after the Reformation, after using the Bible for over 1500 years, man altered the Bible, by adopting the altered Hebrew Bible, and through Martin Luther, even added words to the Bible!
Praise the Lord our God, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, that as Jesus promised, He guided His Church, to make sure that the true Bible was kept intact, and His teachings unchanged in His True Church.
Because non-Catholics do not have the fullness of Truth or the fullness of the WHOLE Bible, they do not understand all the teachings of the Apostles or have that unbroken link from the Apostles.
Because of the altered Prostestant bible, they have come up with many "new" and contradictory theories and dogmas, even among themselves.

Traditionally the douey bible (Roman Catholic) was translated directly from St Jerome's Latin Vulgate. While the King James Bible was translated from Middle ages jewish hebrew manuscripts and surving greek manuscripts.
The Douey Bible also included the Apophryca as canon.
Nowadays that there is some standardisation (Catholic Theologians translating with other Theologians) all bibles are translated from the same sources, with a few variant readings that have become "traditional" - the only exception is thatthe Apophryca is still classed as canon in the RC.
