Your reference to the Douay Rheims Bible is null and void since Pope Pius XII's September 30, 1943 Encyclical "Divino Afflante Spiritu" made said Bible obsolete. When you cite Douay Rheims, you're no different than a Protestant who references the erroneous King James Version Bible.

My advice to you would be to read "Divino Afflante Spiritu" and then reference a Knox Bible or Jerusalem Bible.
1) [from Hank Igitur: "in today's Novus Ordo Church"]
[also from Hank Igitur: "Jerusalem Bible", the translation used in England & Wales after Vatican II and today] 

2) The Douay-Rheims will always be a Catholic translation of Scripture.

If that's true, then what was the purpose of Pope Pius XII writing Divino Afflante Spiritu in 1943?
And if you refuse to read a Jerusalem Bible, then why not use the 1950 Knox Bible?

Take a close look at all of the buffoonish Cardinals in today's Novus Ordo Church and then tell me that their oaths mean anything 
Totally irrelevant!  The conclave oath has been around for centuries; not a modern invention. 

Your scriptural interpretation is bogus.  “Render to Caesar that which is Caesars”, means you follow the laws of your country and take part in civil govt.

You can still take part in civil government without committing the blasphemous act of "swearing to God." 

As I have stated above:All you have to do is ask them to re-phrase the question by changing the word "swear" to the word "affirm." Or one can merely say "I affirm to tell the truth" after the court asks you its blasphemous question.

The bible doesn't belong to Caesar.
In Canada there are several ways of AFFIRMING you will tell the truth .
1. You may be asked to swear on a Bible but if you decline, they will ask if you affirm to tell the truth.
2. Muslims are asked to swear on the Koran
By swearing on a book, you are DECLARING that you believe and hold precious what is in that book,
So why would a Catholic swear on a protestant bible? (Our courts actually have both).
You wouldn't expect a Muslim to swear on a bible, so no Catholic should swear on any book they don't believe in.
