Perhaps annalex is a more reliable source than official Catholic Bibles [that translate "skinoma" "body" rather than tabernacle in 2 Peter 1].

Apparently so, since the Greek original and Douay agree with me. It is a bad practice to translate idiomatically what was mostl likely meant literally; many modern translations do so and they shouldn't.
