What Bible is the best for anglo-catholics?

I have a catholic Bible, that has the Deut (I'm not writing that) books, and I thought about the KJV Bible, which is pretty accurate acording to greek speaking people, what is the best Bible of both, or there is another better translation?

Is it wrong for me to read in a Catholic bible?

I am a member of the serbian orthodox Church , but I live and was raised in Germany. Even though I speak good serbian I feel more comfortable reading the bible in German. Since there are no German orthodox bibles I usually read in the Catholic bible. I'm afraid of doing something wrong by reading in a non-orthodox bible. Thanks for your answers!

I hate it when Christians/Catholics weaponize the Bible to justify imperialism + human rights violations, & portray it as Godโ€™s punishment for โ€œsinnersโ€ and the apocalyptic downfall of humanity.

Iโ€™m talking about the book of revelations here. I hate it when Christians/Catholics use the Bible as a โ€œprophecyโ€ for Middle East politics and weaponize it to justify the tragedies civilians are facing in Middle Eastern countries - even go as far as to say that God is โ€œpunishingโ€ them for their โ€œsinsโ€.

They point to the Middle East and act like the โ€œsinโ€ government and civilians are going to be the downfall of humanity, and the main theatre for โ€œthe apocalypseโ€. There is no self awareness, no self reflection. Have they seen the โ€œsinsโ€ of the US/European government(s) and civilians?!

Imperialism, war crimes, corruption, and human rights violations by the US, European nations, etc is not Godโ€™s punishment. Nations collapsing and civilians suffering is because of the war crimes, corruption, imperialism and human rights violations the US and European nations victimize these Middle Eastern countries to. Their biblical arguments is absurd because it positions the US and European nations as โ€œGodโ€. Are institutions and systems โ€œGodโ€? No.

The idea that itโ€™s in Godโ€™s will and itโ€™s divinely ordained for the downfall of other nations and populations of people is a core tenant of the manifest destiny, and is centered in white supremacy, colonialism/imperialism, and exceptionalism.

The fact that people canโ€™t look at that and think, โ€œhey, this is really fucked up and somethingโ€™s not right hereโ€, is absolutely terrifying.

And the worst part is if you point this out, theyโ€™ll brand you as either an โ€œevil person who works with Satanโ€™s forces/Satanโ€™s spawnโ€ and/or an extremist against the US constitution. I mean, if our government supports, protects and serves a Christian/Catholic theocracy, white supremacy/exceptionalism, imperialism, war crimes, and human rights violations against non-whites and non-Christians/Catholics, then yeah - Iโ€™m against it.

And Iโ€™m here like, if our government and constitution is rooted in the Bible, then we live in a Christian/Catholic theocracy, under white supremacy/exceptionalism and we need to change our constitution so that itโ€™s not rooted in that. But yeah, sure, Iโ€™m a โ€œradicalโ€. Iโ€™m so sorry I want a government and constitution that serves for all, not just a few.

I never want to hear something as awful as โ€œGodโ€™s nationโ€ and โ€œGodโ€™s childrenโ€, because the hypocrisy and exceptionalism is revolting. Are those people and nations not of God and Godโ€™s children either? Or is it more convenient to strip them of that and demonize/vilify them

In 1609, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei theorized that the galaxy followed a heliocentric model rather than a geocentric one. The Catholic Church condemned his theory, stating that he was trying to reinterpret the Bible. He was vilified during his life, but it was later proven that he was right.

Did some of the Netflix show characters represent Catholic bible characters?

Like is Matt supposed to represent St. Michael? Apologies if this sounds dumb, I get the surface level shit like him struggling with his faith being a big part of his character growth over the course of the show but I don't have the religious knowledge to pick this show apart and assign potential matches between the bible and it.

Souperism: During the Irish Great Famine, Protestant Bible societies set up schools where starving children were fed on the condition of receiving Protestant religious instruction at the same time. Its practitioners were reviled by Catholics who had to choose between Protestantism and starvation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souโ€ฆ
