The Douay Rheims Bible is the English translation of the Latin Vulgate. This Bible is sometime compared to the King James Version.
Not like the King James Version, where almost all Catholic trace were erased, this Bible preserve the Catholic flavors. In addition to that the Douay Rheims was printed much earlier than the KJV.
I now use this Bible during addressing a polemic questions coming from Protestant Apologist. Here are some the difference of the DRB and KJV:

(Should Be) Hail "full of grace," our Lord is with thee.
