Did you know? 🤔 The Douay-Rheims Bible, completed in 1610, was the first full English Catholic Bible translation, released 226 years after Wycliffe's unauthorized version. It was produced by English Catholic exiles in France during a time when it was illegal to be Catholic in England. This translation was based on the Latin Vulgate rather than the original Greek and Hebrew texts.
