“The Cath. Church abolished, not only the Sabbath, but ALL the other Jewish festivals.”* (Letter by T. Enright CssR, Bishop of St. Alphonsus Church, St. Louis, Missouri, June 1905; all-caps added for emphasis in these) “God simply gave His Church the power to set aside whatever day or days she would deem suitable as Holy Days. The Church chose Sunday, the first day of the week, AND in the course of time added other days as holy days.” (A Course in Religion for Catholic High Schools and Academies, by John Laux, vol. 1, p. 51, 1936) “Sanctifying Sundays AND holy days requires a common effort. Every Christian should avoid making unnecessary demands on others that would hinder them from observing the Lord’s Day. ... In spite of economic constraints, public authorities should ensure citizens a time intended for rest and divine worship. Employers have a similar obligation toward their employees.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2000, par. 2187 [issued October 11, 1992]) “... Christians should seek recognition of Sundays AND the Church’s holy days as legal holidays.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2000, par. 2188 [issued October 11, 1992]) (*See “times” in the Scripture texts on the following linked picture) ----------oOo---------- *https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=440975146011927&set=pb.220980474678063.-2207520000.1397965497.&type=3&permPage=1
