    Can a Catholic Use a Protestant Bible?

    This is a question I get asked a lot, and the answer is more nuanced than you might think. I talk about the difference between Catholic and Protestant translations (Martin Luther and the 7 missing books), what the Church says about picking translations, and what Bibles I personally use. Translations mentioned in this video: New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE)New Catholic Bible (NCB)New Living Translation Catholic Edition (NLT CE)Revised Standard Version 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE)English Standard Version Catholic Edition (ESV-CE)New International Version (NIV) (video available on YT)

    The Bible Wasn't Always This Accessible (+ a gift from Feast Books)

    (video available on Youtube) The idea of having your own personal Bible is a relatively recent phenomenon in Church history. For most Christians, Scripture was heard in the Liturgy, told through art, and prayed in community. But now that we have it, how are we making the most of it? In this video, I feature a small gift from Feast Books and reflect on how having our personal Bible time is a gift.
