For over 30 years i have been enriched by the KJV (not as extremist such who think the English is superior to the Greek, or not allowing it could be improved a little). And there are Catholics who only sanction the Douay-Rheims Bible, yet one Roman Catholic apologist criticizes them and it somewhat.

Well, I am not a Douay “onlyist”. I also have a great respect for Jimmy Akin. One significant defect of Douay and Vulgate is the feminine pronoun in Genesis 3:15.

Another is the insufficient differentiation of the triple “Feed my sheep/lambs” in John 21. The original also varies “feed” with “guide”.

I wish Akin provided examples of KJV influencing Douay.

Note that Akin wisely does not hold up any English translation as superior to Douay.
