The Challoner D-R, particularly in the NT, flows much more cleanly than the KJV, which strikes me as rather stilted and archaic. A quick example is 2 Corinthians 2:10.

I think Challoner’s revision of Douay is the closest thing there could ever be to such a thing as a Catholic KJV. He did, after all, pilfer from the Authorized Version and wrote in a manner that Englishmen, steeped in the language of the KJV, would accept as “Biblical English.”

No… .

The names, numbers, and chapters of the Douay–Rheims Bible and the Challoner revision
follow that of the LATIN VULGATE -
and therefore differ from those of the King James Version and its modern successors
