Excellent
The NCB is an excellent translation for Catholics. It has none of the subtle anti Catholic word play of other translations, and stays true to Catholic tradition in the extensive notes. I've been using it for about a year, I absolutely love it. This is the best Catholic Bible I've ever read, suitable for reading, study, and lectionary. No overly inclusive language, no confusing translation edits like young women instead of virgin, and the deuterocannon is in Septuagint order, so it's not just crammed between the old and new testament like nobody knows where they go.
