Just an odd but perhaps interesting notice in
passing – some people claim that there is a Douay–Rheims Only Movement (DRO) that
is similar to King James Onlyism. This DRO view is held both by traditionalist
Catholics who are in full communion with the RCC, as well as sedevacantists.[i]
Here are three related readings:
- Why Should You Read Only the Douay-Rheims Catholic Translation of the Bible? -- “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.”
- 7 Reasons Why I Love the old Douay Rheims Bible -- “There are many passages in the Douay Rheims Bible that are NOT contained in Catholic Bible versions like the RSVCE and NAB.”
- Uncomfortable Facts about the Douay-Rheims -- “Douay-Rheims Onlyists have not gone to some of the extremes of King James Onlyists...However, they do often parallel King James Onlyists in arguing the superiority of their preferred translation due to the manuscript tradition on which it is based.”
[i] Sedevacantists are persons
who identify as Roman Catholic, but believe that the position/office of the
Bishop of Rome (or pope) is currently vacant (from the Latin phrase sede
vacante, “with the chair [that is, of ‘Saint Peter’] vacant”).
