The Catholic Church uses several translations of the Bible, but the most commonly used translations are the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE), the Revised New American Bible (RNAB), the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (RSVCE), and the Jerusalem Bible (JB) . The NRSV-CE is a Bible translation approved for use by the Catholic Church, receiving the imprimatur of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in 1991. It includes all 73 books of the Catholic Bible, including the deuterocanonical books, in the traditional Catholic order. The RNAB is the translation used for Mass in the United States. The RSVCE is the one most recommended by hosts of various shows on EWTN. The Douay Rheims Bible was once the "standard" translation for Catholics and is still recommended by some.
