What Claire should have said is that to the RC Church the Vulgate is 
considered to be authoritative. The vulgate is a translation of the LXX, 
whose canon they accept. Ultimately any translation will fail to capture 
fully the nuances of meaning of a particular text. In translating the 
New American and other Catholic Bibles earlier sources were used. The 
Vulgate continues to be authoritative. This merely underscores the need 
for a divinely guided Church authority. You guessed it: The Catholic 
Church! The Bible is only a teaching tool, created by this organization.
