How many times does the word believe appear in the Catholic Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe only "official" version of the Bible is the Latin Vulgate, and being entirely in Latin, the word "believe" does not appear in it at all. It would be the word credo, credere. The only difference between the Bible as preserved by the Catholic Church for the last 2000 years and Bibles that are translations of the "reformers" in the sixteenth century is that "Catholic" Bibles still contain the books of the Old Testament used by Our Blessed Lord which the "reformers" rejected. The closest translation into English of the Vulgate would be the Douay Rheims translation, which contains the word "believe" 156 times. Other translations may vary, and there are several English translations approved by the Church.
