Sorry Dave. Vulgate is Jerome's best effort of translating from the Original Koine Greek to Latin.
It is closer to the following when translated from Koine Greek to English.
I suspect Dave is well aware of this. He hunted high and low until he found a translation and a translation of a translation which had his magic words.

Using the Vulgate is not exactly a novel idea for a Catholic. Nor is using the Douay-Rheims, the traditional English language Catholic Bible. Which is not effected by the pressures and viewpoints of more contemporary ones, like the New American, which placed readability over accuracy.
