The Roman Catholic Douay-Rheims translation was written AFTER the Tyndale, Coverdale, Great, and Geneva bibles (on which the KJV depended) (not to mention Wycliffe's 15th Century version, published before the Roman Catholic Archbishop dug up and burned his body)...all done by Protestants--often at risk of being burned alive by the servants of Rome.

Clearly a Catholic English bible was a Johny-come-lately, probably done to try to prove certain Roman doctrines--attempting to keep the Bible in their full control.

Relax - it's not that bad. It's a good translation of the Vulgate, which is older than any of the versions you mention. Blame St. Jerome, if you like.

Catholic Bible translation in "English" (well, Anglo-Saxon) began with St. Bede the Venerable back in, I believe, the 8th Century.
