well, honestly, it shouldnt' be.

honestly, i don't think 1984 was anti-socialist anyway. He was anti a very certain strain of socialism. The nearest modern example would be something like political correctness, sort of.

please, who are you kidding. If you were interested in accuracy, you'd be reading a modern translation such as the NAB or confraternity bible. This douay-rheims-only type nonesense is even more ridicolous than the kjv only camp. You know its a translation of the vulgate, and you know there are translations that incorporate more information and in modern vernacular. You are reading a 16th century translation either A. because of some weird bibliolatry best left to the protestants or B. for aesthetic reasons. If its A., its foolish. If its B., KJV is prettier.
