Question:
Answer:
No. The King James Version of the Bible, also known as the Authorized Version, is a Protestant translation of Scripture into English that was commissioned and promulgated by James I of England for use in the Anglican church. The Douay-Rheims translation is a Catholic translation of Scripture into English and was published around the same time as the KJV. In fact, the Douay-Rheims was completed first, but it should not be considered a Catholic edition of the King James Version.
