Are you sure your Parish and schools were using the King James Version?? This is a Protestant Bible and it is missing 7 books. I don't understand why a Catholic church would use a Protestant Bible with stuff missing from it. That just doesn't make sense. Since the 70's the Church has been using the New American Bible for the Mass readings and education. Another version that we Catholics use is the Revised Standard Version. I've never seen the King James Version being used in a Catholic church/Parish/school thus far. I'm not saying your church didn't use the KJV. I'm just totally stumped as to why they would. It's not a Catholic bible. I've known of some Parishes to mess up and use Protestant bibles (like the NIV) but they are the minority and are making a mistake because these bibles are incomplete.
