Jerome was a devout man and gave his lifetime to translate the Greek Bible into Latin, even the Septuagint. He used the Latin root word rapio for ‘apostasia’. His view of the event was of a sudden snatching away. That fits with the rest of the verses preceding the third and following where the Restrainer is spoken of as retraining and then being taken out of the way and unrestrained lawlessness unleashed.

I think I'll stick with the original manuscripts rather than the opinion of Jerome.

Okay, great idea! That link I gave for 2 Thess 2 will allow you to see the best Greek copies available. IIRC there is even Hebrew of the Septuagint origins, if that’s your thing. Point being, Jerome was faithful to what the GReek text taught, and he is vindicated in his opinion/translation because it conforms to the verses previous and following, in meaning.
