No; I prefer to use Protestantism’s authorized version (King James Version) when discussing Protestantism. You were included as a courtesy since one had posted 469 implying you did not know the New Testament. I posted a passage from the Protestantism’s authorized version showing the presumptuous and their end. If there were a “courtesy copy” designation available I would have cc’d your ID.
And again you display your lack of understanding.
There is no one authorized version for non-Catholics.
As I like using your Douay-Rheims one.
Books of the sacred scriptures cannot be published unless the Apostolic See or the conference of bishops has approved them.
For the publication of their translations into the vernacular, it is also required that they be approved by the same authority and provided with necessary and sufficient annotations.
With the permission of the Conference of Bishops, Catholic members of the Christian faithful in collaboration with separated brothers and sisters can prepare and publish translations of the sacred scriptures provided with appropriate annotations. ^ Code of Canon Law, canon 825 Archived February 28, 2015, at the Wayback Machine.
