0-21 Since the language used in the Douay Version of the Bible differs only textually from the King James and Hebrew Versions, we will not concern ourselves with it. This does not in the slightest degree mitigate the mutilation of the Commandments printed in the Catholic Catechism. For a comparison of the complete text, the reader is referred to the Douay Bible.

0-27 The misnumbering of the Commandments by the Catholics has caused considerable confusion when they are referred to by number in the public press. For instance, in a news story when a murderer is condemned for violating the Sixth Commandment (Thou shalt not kill), in the minds of Catholics he is being charged with having committed adultery!

0-29 This was noted in the analysis of the difference between the Exodus and Deuteronomy versions, p. 5C. Also note variation in the spelling of the word neighbor.

0-30 There are actually several "sets" of Commandments, but for convenience and to avoid more confusion they were omitted from this study.

0-31 This constantly occurs among highly emotional people who suffer from religious hallucinations. It recalls to my mind that in Italy there is a well which priests have utilized with great success. They tell the faithful believer, particularly after he had attended church services, that if he has performed his religious duties with scrupulous fidelity he will be able to see the face of Jesus Christ by looking long and intently at the bottom of the well. No faithful believer has ever been known to go away without having "seen" the face of his Saviour reflected in the waters below. It is quite likely that the Children of Isræl "saw" their god in very much the same manner.
