7 Reasons Why I Love the Old Douay-Rheims Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985

"My children, the Book of life, your Bible, has been rewritten--written to suit the modes of modernism and humanism.  Satan can also quote the Scriptures.  And you must understand that satan will cover himself by deception by appearing through human beings as angels of light.  In one hand they hold the Bible but in the other a dagger akin to satanism.” - Our Lady, July 25, 1979

Canterbury Tales reported on August 31, 2010:

Lately, I've been trying to learn the Psalms from the old Latin Vulgate, and therefore I've been making recourse to the Douay-Rheims translation of the Scriptures, which follows the old Vulgate pretty strictly. I usually use the RSV-CE translation of the Bible, but I really like the Douay-Rheims.

Here are seven reasons why I have come to appreciate Douay-Rheims Bible (hereafter = DRB):

7. The Douay-Rheims Bible is a scrupulously faithful translation into English of the Latin Vulgate Bible which St. Jerome (342-420) translated into Latin from the original languages.

6. Saint Jerome had access to Greek and Hebrew manuscripts that are now lost. Hence the Vulgate preserves readings deemed as important by Saint Jerome, but not necessarily known by today's scholars. The DRB preserves these readings. Plus, Jerome was fluent in both Greek and Latin, and was trained by Hebrew speaking rabbis. None of these facts are true of today's scholars - even the best of them. I can read Hebrew, Greek and Latin, but I don't trust myself to give the right nuances.

5. The Latin Vulgate of Jerome is the Bible used by almost all the great Latin Doctors of the Church. The DRB brings us into touch with this great tradition.

4. The Council of Trent declared the Latin Vulgate as authoritative and the DRB preserves its readings. The Council of Trent decreed: "Moreover, the same Holy Council . . . ordains and declares that the old Latin Vulgate Edition, which, in use for so many hundred years, has been approved by the Church, be in public lectures, disputatious, sermons and expositions held as authentic, and so no one dare or presume under any pretext whatsoever to reject it." (Fourth Session, April 8, 1546).

3. The old Latin Vulgate is truly an inerrant translation - a rare thing!. Pope Pius XII stated in his 1943 encyclical letter Divino Afflante Spiritu that the Vulgate is "free from any error whatsoever in matters of faith and morals." The DRB follows these readings.

2. Modern translations often reproduce faulty translations. Take, for example, the RSVCE version of Matthew 16:26:

26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life (Greek: ψυχὴν)? Or what shall a man give in return for his life (ψυχῆς)?

Here the RSVCE doesn't rightly translate pysche as "soul" but as "life." This different wording downplays the reality of losing one's soul and going to Hell. However, the DRB gets it correct because it follows Saint Jerome's literalism:

26 For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul? Matthew 16:26 (D-R)

1. There are many passages in the Vulgate that are NOT contained in Catholic Bible versions like the RSVCE and NAB. This came as a big surprise to me. For example, take this famous passage used in the old Mass for the Blessed Virgin Mary (Salve Sancta Parens):

Ecclesiasticus or Sirach 24:23–31 (DRB)

23 As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.
24 I am the Mother of Fair Love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope.
25 In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue.
26 Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits.
27 For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb.
28 My memory is unto everlasting generations.
29 They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst.
30 He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin.
31 They that explain me shall have life everlasting.   

Compare this to the corresponding translation in RSVCE:

Ecclesiasticus or Sirach 24:17–22 (RSVCE)

17 Like a vine I caused loveliness to bud, and my blossoms became glorious and abundant fruit. 
19 “Come to me, you who desire me, and eat your fill of my produce. 
20 For the remembrance of me is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance sweeter than the honeycomb. 
21 Those who eat me will hunger for more, and those who drink me will thirst for more. 
22 Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame, and those who work with my help will not sin.”   

I'm sorry, but the RSVCE is not even close - and it omits much! The reference to "Mother of Fair Love" is totally lacking as are many other elements. The readings in the DRB are in the canonical Vulgate...but not in the RSVCE. That's a problem, especially when you consider these words from the Council of Trent:

But if any one receive not, as sacred and canonical, the said books entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin Vulgate edition; and knowingly and deliberately contemn the traditions aforesaid; let him be anathema (Session 4).

To clarify, I'm not promoting DRB exclusivism, but I am saying that the DRB holds a privileged place in English translations and we shouldn't cast it aside. Every Catholic should have a copy of the DRB - especially if you employ the old Vulgate - a worthy practice.

"You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1992

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/  These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

CLEAR, PRECISE LANGUAGE
"My Son left you a legacy of faith.  He gave you very clearly the plan for your redemption.  It was written down in clear, precise language for all to know, and what have you done, but you have darkened the pages of your Bible.  You have rewritten them so that you would gain, and gain what but damnation!  You are rewriting the Book of Life to satisfy the basic foul carnal natures of mankind!  The road to the Eternal Kingdom is a narrow road.  Many have left it now and are wandering farther into darkness.” - Our Lady, May 26, 1976

"TO DESTROY YOUR FAITH”
"My child, you must work with great haste.  The enemies of the Father in the Kingdom, have set themselves to destroy the knowledge that has been given to you through the ages.  You must gather the books of truth.  Many have been rewritten to destroy your Faith.” - Our Lady, February 10, 1975

READ A BIBLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED
Veronica - Now Michael is, with his spear, he's closing the Bible.  And it's growing very dark around the Bible.
     St. Michael - "You see, My child, how satan has poisoned the minds of many.  The Book is being rewritten to satisfy the basic carnal nature of mankind.  Learn the truth by reading a Book that has not been changed.” - St. Michael, August 14, 1976

RESTORE THE BOOK
"This Book will not be rewritten to satisfy the whims of man. What the Holy Spirit has said shall not be changed. Restore the Book of life back to its proper place of truth. You will not change your world and the writings of the men who founded My Son's House to suit the whims of mankind! Mankind will change his ways to come under the guidance of the Father and reach the Kingdom he was destined for.” - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

 RECOGNIZE THE FACES OF EVIL
"The Book of life and love, the Bible--man has rewritten this Book to deceive mankind. He will deceive those who are not in the light. Recognize the faces of evil. By their fruits will they be known. They will come to you as angels of light; but they are ravenous wolves, placing themselves in strategic positions of power to seduce mankind and destroy the Church of Jesus Christ.
     "The battle, my child, will accelerate very shortly, for there will not only be a great War of weapons of mankind, but it will be known soon throughout the world as a religious war. It will be the war against the Antichrist, who is here now!” - St. Michael, August 21, 1974

WILL NOT BE CHANGED
"The Book is going into deep darkness also. The words will not be rewritten to suit man. The words of God will not be changed to pamper man on earth.” - St. Robert Bellarmine, February 10, 1973

REWRITTEN BY SATAN
“You will read the Book of life, My children. We left you a treasure of knowledge. But your Book is being up-dated, and this Book is being rewritten by satan.” - Our Lady, March 25, 1972

NOT OF GOD
"Continue, My child, to read the Bible well. Man is casting it aside or rewriting one to fit his own carnal nature. You must not, My children, rewrite the Bible, for it will be a bible of man and not of God.” - Our Lady, October 2, 1989

OLD BIBLES
"You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992

FEW SHORT CHAPTERS
"I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976

UNDERSTAND
"Your Bible must be studied well, and you will understand that the Eternal Father gave you truly a simple way to follow. It goes far beyond much human understanding, because without prayer and suffering and penance, you will not have the gift from the Eternal Father to understand even the Sacred Scriptures." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1979

IN YOUR HEART
"The Book of life and love, the Bible, shall never be taken from you. And the words once read will remain in your heart. Fathers of families, and mothers, give the example of this knowledge to your children. Take them with you to a quiet corner and read, for in this manner will they learn the truth and be given the light." - Our Lady, March 18, 1974

THEOLOGIANS
"There are many theologians, even in My Son's House now, that are bringing to mankind doctrines of demons. They are teachings of man and not of God. Many have set themselves in their arrogance to change the wordings in the Book of love and life, the Bible. These changes were to seduce mankind into bondage of sin." - Our Lady, June 2, 1979

SODOM AND GOMORRHA
"Your word of homosexuality can be explained by the story of Sodom and Gomorrha. Read in your Bibles...." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992

FIFTEEN MINUTES
"I say now, My children, that you must understand there are great graces given for reading the Bible, even a short time of fifteen minutes; you will be graced by indulgences.* Have you forgotten, My children, in the modernization of My Son's Church, have you forgotten the meaning of indulgences? They are applicable to the time you may have to put in purgatory, My children." - Our Lady, July 25, 1985

*The exhortations to the faithful from the Vicars of Christ to read the Word of God have resounded in unison the last 100 years. Numerous letters, discourses and especially the granting of indulgences bear out their ardent desire to encourage this pious exercise.

INDULGENCES
"Much of your Faith in graces and indulgences, My child, they have been removed, Gather the books given to you in the past. Though mankind has set himself above His God to remove these from among you, know that in the will of the Father, they have not been removed. You will receive all the numerous graces of indulgences as directed by your good leaders of old." - Our Lady, September 13, 1974

HEIRLOOM
"The road to the Kingdom of God is found in the reading of the Scriptures. Man does not know God. He no longer looks for Him in the revelations of the Holy Bible.
     "The soul in exile can only be nourished by the word of God, through Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross. The Holy Bible is your family heirloom." - Our Lady in locution, April 7, 1970

LITTLE BY LITTLE
"You, My child, must give more effort to spreading the gospel truth. The Book of life and love, the Bible, is being rewritten. It is done, My child, with great cunning and deception. Only those in the light, make knowledgeable by the light, will recognize this deception. Little by little the errors are being spread.” - Our Lady, December 24, 1974

GOSPELS
Veronica - Theresa said she has always carried this small Book in the fold of her garment. (She means her habit.) I can see now she is holding it very close to me. It is the Gospels. Now Theresa said: "I was not a learned person or a scholar upon earth, but all I had and all I needed was this little Book. And I also treasured the Imitation of Christ." - St. Theresa, December 31, 1972

1965
"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." -Jesus, October 5, 1985

HEAD COVERINGS
"It is a defiant act, My children, that women no longer cover their heads at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. They will not obey, for they cannot understand that man must not change the wording of the Bible. Man and the hierarchy must not change the wording of the Bible to suit mankind's instincts." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978

AS A WHOLE
"Those who have little knowledge of the Book of life and love, the Bible, will fall easy prey to false witnesses who go about the world now, deceiving even some of the elect. You must read your Bible so that you will not be deluded by the written word. The Bible cannot be taken as sectional or piece by piece, but you must know the whole, for satan has poisoned many minds. And Satan, too, can expound the Scriptures." - Our Lady, May 26, 1979

GARY'S COMMENT:  The Douay-Rheims has been the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church for about 1,600 years.  It is a great grace to read the Bible cover to cover.  If you read 4 chapters a day, you will completely read the Bible in year.  If you read 2 chapters a day, you will completely read the Bible in 2 years.  I have read it completely two times and starting a third time.  A 75 year old Baptist gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible completely 9 times or more.  Start reading your Douay-Rheims Bible today.  It will give you wisdom, peace, serenity, and knowledge about God the Father.  If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible, click here.
