CATHOLIC “The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday . “ I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday Holy. There is no such law in the bible. It is the law of the holy catholic church alone. The Bible says, “ Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy. The Catholic Church says,”No.By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo ! the entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church.” T. Enright, CSSR, in a lecture at HARTFORD, Kansas, Feb.1884. “You may read the bible from GENESIS TO REVELATION,, and You will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we ( Catholics ) never sanctify.” James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers, p.111. “ Question” What Bible authority is there for changing the Sabbath from the Seventh to first day of the week? Who gave the Pope the authority to change a command of God? “Answer.” If the bible is the only guide for the Christian, then the Seventh-day Adventist is right to observing the Saturday with the Jew. But Catholics learn what to believe and do from the divine, infallible authority established by Jesus Christ, The Catholic Church…. It is not strange that those who make the Bible their only teacher should inconsistently follow in this matter the tradition of the church.”Question box ,by Conway,1903 ,pp. 254,255. “Question.” Which is the Sabbath day? “ Answer.” Saturday is the Sabbath day. “ Question.”Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? “Answer. ”We observe observe Sunday instead of Saturday. because the Catholic Church ,in the Council of Laodicea( A.D 336), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.”- Peter Geiermann, The Convert of Cathechism of Catholic Doctrine, Second Edition,1910,p.50.
