This is not a Catholic Bible, this is a Bible for whoever wants the most objective, historically sound, and readable presentation of the original texts.
The New Jerusalem Bible, along with the Revised English Bible (REB), the New American Bible (NAB) and the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), is one of the four great "ecumenical" translations English readers of the Bible are blessed with.
The New Jerusalem Bible also has one of the best renderings of the classic Ephesians 2:8-10 text, rendering verse 10 "we are God's work of art..." I appreciate that the NJB renders the Pauline use of the "flesh" variously as "disordered desire," "weakness of human nature" "natural inclinations" depending on the context.

The Jerusalem Bible regular edition is arranged in such a way that footnote explanations always appear at the bottom of the right hand page while marginal notes and verses are found on the side margins of each page.
In the given case above, the explanation is more an explicitation of an idea already understandable in the context of Col. 2:11-12 where the circumcision of the Jews (which is surgical in nature) is contrasted with the circumcision in Christ brought about in baptism (which is spiritual).
In the Catholic Catechism, this is echoed by the principle "Understand a biblical passage from within the whole of divine revelation." Marginal notes contain bible references that are echoed in the body text.
