Yes, I believe I’d said it was of scholarly interest.
The Stuttgart Vulgate, or alternatively titled Biblia Sacra Vulgata or Biblia Sacra iuxta vulgatam versionem, is actually an earlier Vulgate text much closer to that which Jerome translated some 1,600 years ago.
I would say it is *an attempt *to approach St Jerome’s text, rather than asserting that it is done so. But we stray from topic.

I agree, you are correct that it is an attempt to approach St. Jerome’s translation. But again, the source of its attempt can hardly be ignored, i.e. the Codex Amiatinus. Unless of course you assert a different opinion, other than that this is the best medieval witness to St. Jerome’s original text. In any event, an attempt to approach the Original of St. Jerome is better than no attempt at all.🙂
 
Okay…well, it was a bit of hyperbole. :o Most of the time, I don’t know who the websites are run by…not everyone makes it obvious. I would be less bothered by a sedevacantist-run site than an athiest, pro-choice-run site. I would be more bothered by a “Catholic” run site by those pushing for female priests than one by sedevacantists.

Good logic…

How so? :confused:

It seems to me that either one – A “Catholic” site run by sedevacantists or one run by woman-ordainers – should be held in the same esteem as a “Catholic” site run by any other protestants.

I’ll see your :twocents: , and raise you a nickel. 🙂

IMHO, I don’t consider the sedevacantists the same as woman-ordainers. I believe that the former are wrong about the pope and will hopefully be reconciled as the TLM is made more available. I believe the latter do more damage to the Church.

Come to think of it, I am more bothered by the woman-ordainers than by Protestants…
 
I have to plead complete ignorance here. I have seen the following word in a number of the posts for this topic:
sedevacantists
Can someone please tell me what it means? I can’t figure it from reading here. 😊

Sedevacantists believe that the past few popes ( well all of the ones since the 1950s) are not real popes. They consider the office to be vacant.
It would be,🙂 IMHO, easier for those of us who are not Catholic, if the term weren’;t so firmly Latin. (My Mama was a Latin teacher & I read it as something like: people who believe that St Peter’s seat [as pope] is empty).
This is considered schismatic [by some; others just think sedevacantists wrong, but wouldn’t go that far, as to declare them in schism] because they are no longer following Rome.
What can I tell you??🤷 I’m 😃 Methodist!!

Sedevacantism is Latin for the seat is vacant. This refers to the Chair of Peter. Sedevacantists don’t recognize Pope Benedict XVI as the legitimate pope. Most sedevacantists don’t recognize Bl. John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI as legitimate popes. These are the popes since the Second Vatican Council was convened.

There are some sedevacantist groups that have their own pope. Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher in Montana claims to be Pope Pius XIII. There is also a Pope Michael I in Kansas as well as several Pope Gregory XVII. I believe there is also a Pope Peter II, although I’m not sure where he is located.

All sedevacantists are in schism since they do not recognize Benedict XVI as successor to St. Peter.

I’ll bet you thought there wasn’t this much difference of opinion among us Catholics. 😃
 
Back to the topic of drbo.org, as other have noted, even if it’s run by someone you don’t like, the layout is excellent, the search feature is superb, and being able to flip back and forth between the Latin and English is extremely handy.

So my questions on the topic:

(1) what other sources are there online for the Douay-Rheims Bible?
(2) the text isn’t copywritten; are there any web designer folks here who want to make another website?
(3) in English we have the Douay-Rheims; what are the “benchmark” translations in the various other languages?
(4) On the themes of #2 and #3, wouldn’t it be slick to have a site where you can switch back and forth between the English, Latin, Italian, German, Hebrew, etc of the Bible Chapter in question all on the same site (maybe even with side-by-side views of the text)?

[post=2103936]See above[/post] for two.

I don’t know what other languages’ benchmarks might be, but the Unbound Bible, linked above, allows up to 4 parallel views. The site is part of Biola University, which though not Catholic, likewise seems not antithetical to Catholicism.

Exactly…and people are concerned about the SSPX…doesn’t make any sense.
I think they are scared that when the SSPX is regularized into full communion, the people will wake up and realize what a line of stuff they have been fed over the years. It will not take much, only time, to bring the Bishops from the SSPX along with the rest of them back. It’s really ashamed it has gone this long. Like the proverbial 40 years in the desert.(I mean about the crisis we are seeing the fruits of today)

Also, I can see nothing in the DRBO website that is heretical. The version of the Douay Rheims is a good one and no it was not written by the SSPX, but Bishop Challoner and those before him. There is no reason to discredit a translation of Sacred Scripture that has been used for centuries. If you disagree with some of the articles they link to, then ok, but they are not part of the DRBO site.

Every article that is a part of the DRBO site is orthodox in every way and does not contradict the Catholic faith. You will notice that what you may think are subversive articles, bear imprimaturs form Archbishops and some even written by Popes, though not not all.
