[No, the D-R was produced to counter the spread of those Bibles.]

False

No, it is true.

[ Had those Bible not been printed and found the response that they did, there would have been no motivation for the RCC to produce an English translation. ]

False

No, once again true.

[ There never has been any desire for the RCC to see the common people with Bibles. ]

False

Again, true.

Final score: nil

Final score-3 for 3 as seen by your inablity to actually counter them with anything resembling a fact.

Douay Bible The original Douay Version, which is the foundation on which nearly all English Catholic versions are still based, owed its existence (emphasis added) to the religious controversies of the sixteenth century. The object of the work was, of course not limited to controversial purposes; in the case of the New Testament, especially, it was meant for pious use among Catholics. The fact however, that the primary end (emphasis added) was controversial explains the course adopted by the translators.

You do know that all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire?

8 But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Douay-Rheims Bible

Idolatry and lies, the cornerstone of the Roman Catholic Church-mother of harlots!

3 And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery: Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications and the abominations of the earth

In addition to twisting Scripture, now your posts twist the Catholic Encyclopedia. On top of that is the powerful insinuation that I'm lying.

Pitiful.
