All Christians, including Catholics, believe that the Bible, though written by men, is the divinely inspired Word of God. During the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, the reformers removed several books from the Bible that they felt they could not trust were fully inspired by God. Catholic editions still contain these books, called the Deuterocanonical Books. Also, while the text of a specific translation will be the same from one Bible to another, any notes or commentary in a Catholic Bible must conform to the teachings of the Church, and this may differ from the doctrines of other Christian denominations.
