Author Topic: Any Definitive Traditional Catholic Bibles? (Read 4096 times)

back in 2003 I was looking for a modern copy of the Douay Rheims 1582 Bible that had been retyped in a readable font that was complete with all annotations & notes.

Now the only 2 bibles that I find interesting is the Dr. Von Peters retype. Is this the only option?

I have purchased the Dumbarton Oaks Latin Vulgate that is very nice,but they used the Challoner edition for the english translation. Although St. Jerome's vulgate in latin is on the opposite page,which is very good.

With hundreds of bibles printed and available I find it odd that there seems to be little interest in making a faithful reproduction of the 1582 DR Bible.

p.s. The Knox,Haydock and Challoner do not cut the mustard with me.

I proudly use the Douay Rheims printed by St Benedict press. It is complete with footnotes which are 100% orthodox.

one Bible we like are Navarre Bible, it has good commentary.
for example , there are verse protestant people tell us , not to judge.
but, OUR Catholic bible explain it very well, what it is.

Navarre example copy page link
1st-Corinthians-chap-6--verse-1-9----Navarre.png

other good commentary bible is Ignatius ( same chapter and verse in Ignatius)
1st-Corinthians-chap-6--verse-1-9---Ignatius

So do I. I believe the Douay Rheims is the Bible every traditional Catholic should use.

I know you have to be more "trad" than 99% of trads, but the Douay-Rheims (Challoner) should cut the mustard. It's a faithful, literal translation of the vulgate.

I know, you're smarter/holier/more educated than Bishop Challoner. You're not just trad, you're SUPER-trad.

Sorry to pick on you, but this kind of stuff really annoys me about some trads.

A little (but sincere) prayer to end this post:

"O God, please end this crisis soon, before we end up with as many sects are we have Traditional Catholics. Kyrie Eleison!"
