Description
Fidelis: Catholic Bible — kept faithfully.
A Catholic Bible app built on one conviction — the text is not ours to edit. The full 73-book canon, three unaltered translations, the daily Mass, the liturgical year in color, and a quiet devotional life around the Word. Free, forever — no accounts, no tracking, no ads, no algorithm. Just the text, kept.
Every bundled translation is reproduced verbatim from its public-domain source. No paraphrasing, no softening of hard sayings, no silent updates. Where a source differs from a printed edition, the difference is disclosed, not patched.
THE BIBLE
The full 73-book Catholic canon in traditional Vulgate order — deuterocanon included — offline on your device
Douay-Rheims (Challoner), Catholic Public Domain Version, and the Clementine Latin Vulgate — all three bundled, unaltered, public domain
Own a licensed NABRE, RSV-2CE, or Biblia Platense (Spanish)? Import it privately on-device — Fidelis never uploads it
Typeset like a book: four Scripture faces, adjustable size, day and night themes
THE LITURGY
Daily Mass readings for any day of any year — the lectionary as it is read at Mass
General Roman Calendar and verified U.S. profiles (including provinces that keep Ascension Thursday), with honest fallback where no local proper is verified
Let the working accent follow the liturgical year — green in Ordinary Time, violet in Advent and Lent, red on the feasts of martyrs; gold stays for the sacred marks
EVERY DAY
A Today page that never clutters — never more than six cards: Today at Mass, Today in the Church (Saint of the Day for all 366 dates plus Church history), Verse of the Day, Quote of the Day, the Holy Rosary, and Continue Reading
Home-screen widgets for the Verse of the Day, today's Mass, and the daily quote — Day, Night, or System
"What's today's Gospel?" — ask Siri
STUDY
Haydock Commentary across the whole canon and the Catena Aurea on the four Gospels — the Church Fathers, verse by verse, in their own words
See where the Catechism cites a verse, with links to the official text on vatican.va — and read the Roman Catechism (Trent) offline
Fast search across the canon; bookmarks, highlights, and notes that stay on your device
DEVOTION
The Rosary, with the Scripture of each mystery and the traditional prayers in Latin and English
Reading plans through the Scriptures — citation arithmetic, no streaks or badges
No progress theater — the only acknowledgment the app makes is the Church's
THE PLEDGE
Free forever. No accounts. No ads. No tracking or analytics of any kind. No AI summaries or paraphrase. Provenance is pinned and sealed; the test suite re-verifies integrity on every build.
The simplicity is not a development phase. It is the product.
