The Catholic edition omits the rabidly anti-Catholic notes, thereby protecting the translators and editors from being embarrassed by their ignorance and bigotry. Or one could say, omits what is inessential to understanding the text itself.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

The Catholic Edition has the Anti-Roman Catholic notes from the 19th century edition removed.
The Gospel is not ... a "new law," on the contrary, ... a "new life." - William Julius Mann

That's helpful to know! So it's merely the text itself, rather than annotated. Or does the Catholic edition also give its own (catholic) notes?

Hi Michel:
FYI
I'm not sure about the availability of individual volumes, but if you purchase either edition of the 37-volume Early Church Fathers superset, you get the other edition at no cost. When you have both editions in your library, then links in other resources to either one will function.

The Protestant version inserts introductions and “Excursus”. I think they were added by the American editors in the 19th and early 20th century. They try to argue for a Protestant interpretation of the Patristic texts—often in a viciously polemic way—and were not in the original British edition. The Catholic editions simply remove the additions.
If you have one, you can get the other for free. It sometimes comes in handy to have both, as some books link to the page number of the Protestant version instead of the passage in the volume.
