Catholic Gallery Bible provides access to Bible texts, Daily Mass Readings, Bible reading resources, audio Bible resources, and related Catholic and devotional content.
The copyright status of the materials available through this website depends on the nature and source of the material. This page explains how copyright applies to the content provided through Catholic Gallery Bible.
1. Public Domain Bible Texts and Readings
Catholic Gallery Bible provides several Bible translations and editions that are in the public domain.
These currently include Bible resources in languages such as:
- Chinese
- English
- Tagalog
- Tamil
- Latin
- Portuguese
The website may add additional public-domain Bible translations and editions in the future.
Catholic Gallery Bible does not claim copyright ownership over the underlying text of Bible works that are in the public domain.
Catholic Gallery Bible also provides Tamil Daily Mass Readings and related Scripture readings. Where the underlying Scripture text used for these readings is from a public-domain Bible edition, Catholic Gallery Bible does not claim ownership of that underlying public-domain text.
Public-domain status applies to the underlying work and does not necessarily mean that every presentation, recording, translation, adaptation, formatting, graphic, or other material associated with that work is also public domain.
2. Catholic Gallery Original Content
Catholic Gallery Bible may create and publish original materials, including:
- Website content and descriptions
- Articles and explanatory material
- Original graphics and artwork
- Website design and layout
- Audio recordings created by or for Catholic Gallery
- Original formatting and presentation of resources
- Other original materials created specifically for the website
Such original materials may be protected by applicable copyright and other intellectual-property laws.
Unless otherwise stated, you may view, read, and share links to our original content for personal, devotional, educational, and non-commercial purposes.
Please do not reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit substantial portions of original Catholic Gallery Bible content without appropriate permission, except where such use is permitted by law.
3. Bible Formatting and Presentation
Although the underlying public-domain Bible texts are not claimed as our copyrighted works, Catholic Gallery Bible may organize, format, structure, or present those texts in a particular way on the website.
Original website elements such as formatting, navigation, page design, explanatory material, graphics, audio recordings, and other additions may have their own copyright protection.
The public-domain status of a Bible text does not transfer ownership of these original website elements to others.
4. Daily Mass Readings
Catholic Gallery Bible provides Daily Mass Readings, including Tamil Mass Readings, as part of its religious and devotional resources.
The Scripture texts used in these readings may be drawn from public-domain Bible editions.
The selection, arrangement, formatting, navigation, headings, presentation, explanatory material, graphics, and other original elements created by Catholic Gallery Bible may be protected by applicable copyright laws.
Where a Mass Reading includes material other than the underlying public-domain Scripture text, the copyright status of that material may be different.
5. Audio Bible Resources
Audio Bible resources may consist of recordings created by Catholic Gallery or recordings obtained from other sources.
The copyright status of an audio recording is separate from the copyright status of the underlying Bible text.
Where an audio recording is created by or for Catholic Gallery, the recording may be protected by copyright even when the underlying Bible text is in the public domain.
Where an audio resource is provided by a third party, the rights of the relevant recording owner or provider apply.
6. Third-Party Content and Resources
Catholic Gallery Bible may occasionally provide or reference content, media, links, services, or other resources originating from third parties.
Third-party materials remain subject to the rights, licences, permissions, or terms applicable to those materials.
Where applicable, attribution, copyright notices, licensing information, or source information may be provided with the relevant content.
Catholic Gallery Bible does not claim ownership of third-party materials merely because they are displayed, linked, or made available through the website.
7. Bible Translations and Editions
The website may provide multiple editions or translations of the Bible.
The copyright or public-domain status of each work is determined by the applicable rights associated with that particular work.
We aim to use Bible texts that are available for use in the manner in which they are provided through this website.
As additional Bible translations or editions are added, their applicable copyright or public-domain status may be identified separately where appropriate.
8. Sharing Catholic Gallery Bible Resources
We welcome visitors sharing Bible and Catholic Gallery Bible resources with family, friends, parish communities, study groups, and others.
You may link to publicly accessible pages on bible.catholicgallery.org.
When sharing original Catholic Gallery Bible content, we encourage you to link to the original page rather than reproducing substantial portions of the content elsewhere.
Please retain any applicable attribution, copyright, licensing, or source information associated with the material.
9. Public-Domain Use
Nothing on this page is intended to restrict lawful use of material that is genuinely in the public domain.
Public-domain works may generally be copied, modified, distributed, and reused subject to applicable law.
However, users should distinguish between the public-domain underlying work and any separate copyrighted material added to or associated with its presentation, such as original annotations, recordings, artwork, formatting, website design, or other creative material.
