Bible version(s) used within Roman Catholicism

[jamesdunnaway]

i use the KJV right now, as i like the literal translation, and the stately language. i’m not a big fan of modern translations, paraphrases, or inclusive language.

thank you for this thread! it is very helpful, thank you.

which Catholic Bible translation would you say is the most literal? would that be Douay-Rheims?

yes

You’d certainly be most comfortable with the Douay Rheims if you like the KJV.
