Catholic Action Edition Bible Translation?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

Does anyone know about the Catholic Bible translation called "Catholic Action Edition," copywrite in 1953? I have that Bible and I'm wondering how acurate it is and from where has it been translated from?

God give you peace:)

When I was Catholic I belonged to Catholic Action. It was created by Pius XI in the early 1920s. So this edition must be from the Vulgate.

Catholic Action was born in LOs Angeles in 1925. It died in 1929. Reborn in 1980. Died around 1990 when Juan Arzube and Cardinal Mahony closed the office we had in the Old Santa Bibiana Church.

Charismatic Groups were given preference.
