It appears the request for proposal is for all of the original books of the Old Testament, since the goal is "historical accuracy," per the new proposal. If all of the original books of the Old Testament are included, then that would be the Catholic Bible, yes?
As I understand it, the only difference between the Catholic and Protestant Bible is the exclusion of 7 books of the Old Testament:
[Martin Luther] tossed out the seven Old Testament books which spoke about praying for the dead and purgatory. (2 Mc 12:39-46) It was his decision to reject these books and remove them from the Bible that, in turn, created the Protestant Bible.
