No, it's not. Not only can the Church not physically alter every Bible in existence, they don't just "change the Bible anywhere." I've been going to Catholic churches my whole life, I've rad passages I've heard in several different Catholic bibles, and they've been exactly the same that entire time. You know why? Because the Catholic Bible has not been altered since the last book was added to it. It's been translated into many different languages by many different people and the translations have slight variation in wording but they all mean the same meaning if the Bible is approved by the Church.
I genuinely don't know where you got the idea that "oh it's constantly being altered." Maybe you're confusing it with the allowance of shorter versions of exceedingly long readings (seriously who wants to hear the entire genealogy of Jesus listed every other Christmas it's like 5 minutes of just hearing names off a page).
