The Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV), is an English translation of the Bible from the Latin Vulgate, prepared and edited by Catholic writer Ronald L. Conte Jr.. The translator used the Challoner Douay-Rheims version as a guide in translating the Latin Vulgate edition of Popes Sixtus V and Clement VIII. This translation is published together with the Latin Vulgate text, translation notes, and commentary.

The CPDV is published without ecclesiastical approval and hence has not obtained official recognition as a Catholic version of Sacred Scripture. It has no Imprimatur. Canon 825 of the Roman Catholic Code of Canon Law provides:

§1. Books of the sacred scriptures cannot be published unless the Apostolic See or the conference of bishops has approved them. For the publication of their translations into the vernacular, it is also required that they be approved by the same authority and provided with necessary and sufficient annotations.

[edit] Vatican has only 4 years left?

A quote from a CPDV page ([1]):" Having a Bible version controlled by the Holy See would be a significant advantage over the current situation, where the liberal USCCB controls the NAB version, and Protestant groups control numerous other versions (even the RSV Catholic Edition), and secular for-profit corporations own the copyright on the Jerusalem and New Jerusalem Bibles.

But the Church is about to pass through a time of great suffering. And the City of the Vatican will be destroyed in July of 2013. So it may be some time before the Holy See has Bible versions in various languages over which it has the primary responsibility for editing and maintaining."

Huh? Vatican destroyed? :-S —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.182.115.194 (talk) 18:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I've encountered this person on other parts of the Internet. Has this curious property of considering themselves devoutly Catholic while also apparently feeling that the entire Catholic Church is corrupt and stupid, and should do things their way. They had been informed before publishing this Bible that they needed to get a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, etc, before their translation could be considered even a non-corrupt guide to Scripture for a Catholic, let alone become the primary English text, as they clearly want. Still they went ahead and published without, apparently, even trying to get it approved. It doesn't really surprise me to see them also stating various interpretations of prophecy as fact.
