She is catholic, and i've decided to give her a bible that has her name inscribed on it. I plan to write a note in there to personalize it a little more, but my question is: will she care if i get her a protestant bible or should i get her a catholic bible

If you respect her and her beliefs then you should give her a Catholic Bible.
The following Bible translations are approved by the Catholic Chruch for personal use:
+ Douai-Rheims http://www.drbo.org/
+ Confraternity Edition
+ Revised Standard Version (RSV) - Catholic Edition
+ New American Bible (NAB) http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/
+ Jerusalem Bible
+ New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)- Catholic Edition
+ New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) http://www.catholic.org/bible/
+ Today's English Version - Catholic Edition
I recommend the New American Bible (NAB) which is the version used during Mass and other liturgies in the U.S. and many other English speaking countries.
Here is a NAB website: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/

With love in Christ.

Get her a Catholic bible, either way I'm sure she will appreciate the thought. But I she is a Catholic why wouldn't you get her a Catholic Bible doesn't make any sense.

Get her a Catholic Bible. Martin Luther & his cohorts threw 7 books out of the Bible during the "reformation," so she'd notice something was missing if you got her Protestant bible.

Get her a Catholic bible since she is Catholic.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Don't be a cheapskate! get her some CD's and jewelry and stuff, or a bottle of whatever or some tickets to see something.
