Douay-Rheims Bible Online.

This link to www.drbo.org features the Douay-Rheims Bible and commentary by Bishop Richard Challoner (1691-1781).

Douay-Rheims Online Bible.

This link features a Douay-Rheims Bible and Haydock commentary.  As of January 2005, this site was under construction, last updated in 2002.   Commentary for the first five books of the Old Testament (the Pentateuch: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) and the last book of the New Testament (the Apocalypse) was available.

New American Bible

This is a link to the New American Bible with book introductions and footnote commentary at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' website (www.usccb.org).  Caution: The book introductions and footnote commentary accompanying the New American Bible at this website are problematic since they favor theories currently in vogue among some of today's Bible scholars which, in my opinion, conflict with the dogmatic teaching of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church regarding the authorship and historicity of the books of the Bible, particularly the Gospels.

Catena Aurea by St. Thomas Aquinas

This link freatures St. Thomas Aquinas' Catena Aurea (or Golden Chain), a compilation of patristic commentary on the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library website (www.ccel.org).  As of January 2005, this site was under construction; only Matthew and Mark were available. 

Writings of the Church Fathers

This link to the New Advent website (www.newadvent.org) features many of the writings of the Church Fathers cited in Haydock's commentary.  The New Advent website also features other useful online Catholic resources, including the 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia.
