the Douay-Rheims Bible

a very dear friend of mine sent me a message asking me about the bible Douay-Rheims.

well, there were so many many things said about this Bible, and one of these came from Rebecca herself who said, "I did some research and it is supposed to be the most faithful translation into English of the Latin Vulgate Bible. I also learned that the Latin Vulgate Bible was declared by the Council of Trent to be the official Latin version and is in use by the Catholic Church for the last 1500 years..."

well, i emailed her, and i hope she gets it right in her inbox, some info about the Bible. But in case it does not reach her inbox for some reasons or the other, she can always refer from the following links.
one will surely get interested to know more about the Bible through its history and background of the texts used by visiting The History of the Text of the Rheims and Douay Version of Holy Scripture.

There are some issues that spread surrounding the bible and somehow, these may be addressed by looking into the Uncomfortable Facts About The Douay-Rheims.

more of historical background about the bible and how it came to be can be read in Douay-Rheims: A Story of Faith.

and lastly, you can look into an article that tells about The Douay Rheims Bible: The Achilles Heel of Papal Infallibility

Hi kuya ko! Aha! Namiss mo ako hehehe... Kasi naman sobrang tinatamad akong mag-blog ng ilang araw. Kaya sinamantala ko na at nagbasa ako nang nagbasa. Dami pa ngang natirang books sa pile ko. Parang di enough ang time to read all the books I want to read hehe... Alam mo na, adik ang kapatid mo sa pagbabasa hehe

Namiss din kita kuya!!! Namiss ko ang makibasa sa mga usapan dito lalo na yung palitan nyo ng comment ni Vera (HI VERA!)...

Di ko alam na may ganitong Bible pala. Alam mo ba, yung friend kong nasa New York na sobrang close ko converted into born again Christian. Tapos kino-convince nya na mag-convert ako kaya pinadalan nya ako ng Bible hehe... Buti na lang kasi wala akong Bible na sarili. Nakikigamit lang sa old Bible ng mommy ko dati.

O sya magbabasa muna ako ng mga na-miss ko ditong post...

Have a nice day, kuya ko! :)

Hi,

My main problem and objection in the new translations of the Bible other than the Douay-Rheims is the omissions of Sirach 24:24-31. The omitted parts are found in the Latin Vulgate. Where in the new translations can be found the passages which refers to the Blessed Virgin during the centuries that the Latin Vulgate was used in liturgy:

"I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue... They that explain me shall have life everlasting."

The Solemn Decree of the Council of Trent issued in 1546 says:
"If anyone does not accept as sacred and canonical the aforesaid [72] books in their entirety[emphasis] and with all their parts[emphasis], as they have been accustomed to be read in the Catholic Church and as they are contained in the old Latin Vulgate Edition, and knowingly and deliberately rejects the aforesaid traditions, let him be anathema." (Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, Sess. IV, "Decree concerning the Canonical Scriptures," April 8, 1546)
