Why is Douay-Rheims Version different from other bible versions… In Hebrews 1:6, it says ADORE, but in different version it says, WORSHIP… ADORE is different from being WORSHIP… The Douay is the only version that says ADORE, it is a catholic bible right?

The Message
After he finished the sacrifice for sins, the Son took his honored place high in the heavens right alongside God, far higher than any angel in rank and rule. Did God ever say to an angel, “You’re my Son; today I celebrate you” or “I’m his Father, he’s my Son”? When he presents his honored Son to the world, he says, “All angels must worship him.”
 
Interesting but not a big deal really. The dictionary definition of ‘adore’ primarily means ‘to worship or honor as a deity or as divine’
m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=adore

The Strong’s Lexicon has this entry for the underlying Greek word
προσκυνέω / proskuneō
pros-koo-neh’-o
G4352 From G4314 and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship.

Same thing really!
 
The Challoner Douai Rheims version is a translation from the Latin:
Et adorent eum omnes Angeli Dei.

The English translator naturally chooses ‘adore’ rather than ‘worship’ since it is closer to the Latin.
 
Why is Douay-Rheims Version different from other bible versions… In Hebrews 1:6, it says ADORE, but in different version it says, WORSHIP… ADORE is different from being WORSHIP… The Douay is the only version that says ADORE, it is a catholic bible right?
The Douay Rheims is a translation from the Latin Vulgate, which uses the word ‘adorent’ for ‘worship’ in this passage. Because the translators decided to stick with the Latin text closely (sometimes too closely, to the point of being obscure that critics of the translation said that this was done on purpose by the Church to keep the laity from understanding the Bible!), they Anglicized the word ‘adorent’ to ‘adore’. The DRV, at the time of its publication, introduced many new words taken from the Latin (such as ‘convert’, ‘centurion’, ‘neophyte’, ‘advent’, ‘evangelize’ or ‘calumniate’’). ‘Adore’ must be one of those introduced words.

‘Adore’ and ‘worship’ are, in one sense of the word, synonyms anyway so the sense is still the same, despite the choice of words.
 
It has to do with the change in the definition of the word worship.

Adoration in the Catholic sense is reserved for God alone. Worship (in the more traditional definition) is not reserved for God alone.
