[People] ought to be told honestly what it is they are taking up, if they profess a desire to come out from the world and serve Christ. They ought not to be pressed into the ranks of Christ’s army without being told what the warfare entails.

DOUAY BIBLE

BASIC R.C. BELIEF The translation used exclusively among English speaking Roman Catholics for centuries; more correctly called Douay-Rheims. The Old Testament was published at Douay, France in 1609 and the New Testament in Rheims, France in 1582. It was a translation at Jerome’s Latin Vulgate.

POST VATICAN II It has been largely replaced by the Confraternity New Testament (a revision), and more recently by a number of new translations.
