That made me wonder what version of the bible would be sold in the VC. Looks like the "official" bible of the RCC is the "Nova Vulgata"[1]- and that was only declared the official version in 1979, revised in '86.

That's the official Latin Bible, which has a special role given that Latin remains the oficial language of the Holy See, but since 1943 the new official Bibles in local languages have not been based on the official Latin translation (before the Nova Vulgata, the Clementine Vulgate of 1592), so the Nova Vulgata is not really the singular official Bible of the Catholic Church the way the Clementine Vulgate was before Divino afflante Spiritu [0] (e.g., the official American English Bible, the NAB, was first published and adopted in 1970, before the Nova Vulgata, and has since bien revised in 1986 and 2011.)
