The '''Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition''' ('''RSVCE''') is an [[English language|English]] translation of the [[Bible]] first published in 1966 in the [[United States]]. In 1965, the [[Catholic Biblical Association]] adapted, under the editorship of Bernard Orchard OSB and [[Reginald C. Fuller]], the ecumenical [[National Council of Churches]]'s [[Revised Standard Version|Revised Standard Version (RSV)]] for [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] use. It contains the [[deuterocanonical]] books of the Old Testament placed in the traditional order of the [[Vulgate]]. The editors' stated aim for the RSV Catholic Edition was "to make the minimum number of alterations, and to change only what seemed absolutely necessary in the light of Catholic tradition."<ref>''Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition'', "Introduction to the 1966 Edition"</ref>

Noted for the [[formal equivalence]] of its translation, it is widely used and quoted by Roman Catholic scholars and theologians, and is used for scripture quotations in the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]. The RSV is considered the first [[Ecumenism|ecumenical]] Bible and brought together the two traditions – the Catholic [[Douay–Rheims Bible]] and the Protestant [[King James Version]].<ref>Mgr Andrew Burnham: The Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham | http://www.ordinariate.org.uk/news/OrdinariateNews.php?Mgr-Andrew-Burnham-The-Customary-of-Our-Lady-of-Walsingham-121</ref>
