They're just different translations, Catholics have a couple extra OT books in their Bible.
If you read what was left out you can see why they left it out.

Also these tended to be written a couple of hundred years later. They left out the Gnostic gospels where an evil God created the universe and secret knowledge of the real God will release you from his clutches as that wasn't really very orthodox.
Some of the Gnostic stuff was alright though if you're not taking it historically.
