However we must have reverence to the Didache
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!The Vulgate in one account of the Our Father says “supersubstantial bread”. Tell me how there is no no doctrinal difference.
The Vulgate translates “In the person of Christ” in 2 Corinthians 2:10. Protestant versions and yes the Jerusalem bible the NAB and the RSV-CE all translate “In the presence of Christ”. Tell me there is no difference there.
We do know as Catholics that Trent stated that the Vulgate does not err on matters of doctrine.
Now I’m not saying that the Vulgate does not err in minor details or is flawless or perfect but until the day I die I will trust the Ecumenical Council of Trent that the Vulgate does not err on doctrine.
“Supersubstantial bread” has direct bearing on the Eucharist.
“In the person of Christ” has direct bearing on absolution.
Can versions of the bible other than the Vulgate be superior in some words of the bible–yes.
When there is a conflict involving doctrine which does not err? The Vulgate.
I, for one, would like to see an english transl. that’s 1000% Catholic from the first word in Genesis to the last word in Revelation.Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Personally, I think people are really nitpicking over different translations. There just isn’t that much difference. Modern translations are much easier to comprehend that the Old English translations.next thing you know they’ll ask you “why don’t you just learn the Latin?” this is America, the land of choices…
i personally read the RSVCE (not the 2nd one) but can i force you to read the RSVCE? Heck no!!! This is the problem: the Church can’t force you to read anything you don’t want to read
(why don’t they teach Latin in schools these days?!?)
I personally don’t read a Bible for readability. Modern Bibles are designed for readability and accuracy. I read the Latin Vulgate for accuracy. Christine77 please give Book, Chapter and verse as which you are talking about. The Vulgate is most accurate Bible and those are following the most accurate Bible are accurate. There are errors of moral or doctrinal issues. Unicorn doesn’t mean a mythological creature like we think of today. It has a different meaning. Many words in the Douay-Rheims have words that have different meanings. You stated in one post that it has serious errors but you have given proof as to how many errors that the Douay-Rheims has. The Douay-Rheims has far less errors than the NAB, NJB, JB, NRSV and RSV-CE combined. You also thought that the NIV was a better translation than the Douay-Rheims and other Latin Vulgate based Bibles. What proof do you have??? The NIV is missing the books of the Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, 1 Machabees, 2 Machabees, parts of Esther and parts Daniel as well as Matthew 18:11. All Protestant Bibles added to Matthew 6:13. That is wrong. Think about it. If you are going to rattle of that the Douay-Rheims has serious errors give Book, Chapter and Verse(s). It is that simple.Personally, I think people are really nitpicking over different translations. There just isn’t that much difference.

Also In the translations from the Vulgate there were errors, such as Moses having horns on his head after he came down from the mountain, and creatures such as unicorns living in the land.
I think the most important thing is to READ the Bible, and STUDY it, and THINK ABOUT IT - no matter which translation of it you choose to read.
This is from Douay Bible:I personally don’t read a Bible for readability. Modern Bibles are designed for readability and accuracy. I read the Latin Vulgate for accuracy.

What Which book and chapter?? I got the verses, but I need the Book and chapter. I guess I wasn’t clear the first time.This is from Douay Bible:
**29 And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord. 30 And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near. **
Now we know that “horned” really meant “shining with rays of light”.
Exodus Chapter 34What Which book and chapter?? I got the verses, but I need the Book and chapter. I guess I wasn’t clear the first time.
Yes, but that is a modern explanation. People really did think Moses had horns before the modern translations. Michaelangelo even made a very famous statue of Moses with horns.From the Haydock Bible Commentary Exodus 34:29
Ver. 29. Horned. That is, shining, and sending forth rays of light like horns. (Challoner) — Septuagint, “encircled with glory.” St. Paul (2 Corinthians iii. 7,) says, the Hebrews could not look steadfastly at the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his countenance. Hence, he was forced to have a veil, which, the apostle observes, was not taken off from the old law till Christ appeared. The Jews and heretics still read the law and the gospel with a veil over their eyes and heart, without understanding them, as they are hidden to those who perish, 2 Corinthians iv. 3. The Jews are much enraged at some Christians, who have represented Moses with horns, as if, they say, he were a devil, or his wife an adulteress. (Stacchus and Drusius.) — Hebrew, “his skin was radiant” all over his face. These rays commanded respect and awe from the people, who had before said contemptuously, Moses—the man, (chap. xxxii. 1,) as they shewed that God was with him. They had not appeared before, though he had often conversed with the Lord: but now, having seen the glorious vision, they adhered to him during the remainder of his life, particularly when he enforced the obligations of the law to the people. (Haydock) — The Arabs make their hair stand up like little horns, when they are about 40 years old. (Patric. ii. 4. Navig.) Homer mentions the like custom, and Diomed laughs at Paris calling him the pretty-horned. (Iliad xi.) Many of the ancient heroes and gods are represented with horns, particularly Bacchus, whose history reminds us of many particulars, which belong to Moses. He was born or educated in the confines of Egypt, was exposed on the waters, in a box; had two mothers, and very beautiful. While his army enjoyed the light, the Indians were in darkness. He was preceded by a pillar, had women in his train, dried up rivers with his thyrsus or wand, which had crawled, like a serpent, &c. (Huet. &c.) St. Epiphanius (her. 55,) says the Idumeans adored Moses. Their idol is called Choze by Josephus, (Antiquities xviii. 11,) which may be derived from Chus, the ancestor of Sephora, as Bacchus and Iacchus may denote “the son Bar, or the god Chus,” Jah-Chus, who was adored in Arabia; so that Moses, Choze, and Bacchus, probably mean the same person. Chus peopled that part of Arabia where the Hebrews sojourned, Numbers xii. 1. (Calmet)
Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
I have a copy. I just think you are OBSESSED with it.By the way Christine77 what is your beef with the Douay-Rheims??? Or don’t you understand what beef means??
I am not obsessed with it. I use it to refute a lot of misconceptions and I would rather use that to refute than the NAB, NJB and NRSV any day. The JB is a little better and the RSV-CE would be the only other Bible I could use in my debates. That is as far as modern translations. I would much rather use the Confraternity Edition or Ronald Knox Translation if the Douay or Vulgate isn’t availableI have a copy. I just think you are OBSESSED with it.
Sorry, how about these though? All from DOUAY:In response to Christine77
Genesis 25:8 doesn’t read "Abraham gave up the ghost.
Here is the Douay-Rheims Genesis 25:8
8 And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.
