The Vulgate is a more important achievement for church history, the KJV is more of a literary achievement

>>18904835
i see. Do you have any passages which might speak to your point? I find the writing in the KJV beautiful myself, but have yet to read the Vulgate as much.

Vulgate, it was undertaken by one man (Saint Jerome (pbuh)) on semen retention and probably khat.

>>18904774
The KJV is a big meme.

>>18904882
I can't imagine anyone on this board is able to comment on the prose of the vulgate with any serious degree of authority, while the quality of the prose of the KJV is well discussed to death.

>>18904835
This expect the KJV is not much of a literary achievement at all and it's mostly Anglo propaganda to legitimise protestantism

>>18905337
What the fuck are you talking about retard I read most of the Vulgate and there are many anons here who can read Latin better than me

>>18905482
There's a difference between being able to read Latin and appreciate Latin prose.

the KJV is one of the most beautiful things written in english but it's not a particularly great translation

>>18905491
What do you know about Latin prose?

>>18904774
Vulgate is the most authoritative version of the Bible in existence; better than any Hebrew or Greek manuscript. Thus, the Douay Rheims Bible is the best English translation, and KJV is heresy

>>18905604
The Vulgate mostly copied the Septuagint and it's largely Catholic cope

Blessing cup
>DRB
The chalice of benediction!

And they both abuse the word charity, which is nowhere found in the Greek.
>faith, hope, and charity
No it isn’t, its faith, hope, and love. That’s what the Greek word means.
