Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. For what reason do we watch Sunday rather than Saturday?
A. We watch Sunday rather than Saturday on the grounds that the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea, (AD 336) moved the seriousness from Saturday to Sunday… .
Q. For what reason did the Catholic Church substitute Sunday for Saturday?
A. The Church subbed Sunday for Saturday, since Christ became alive once again on a Sunday, and the Holy Ghost slid upon the Apostles on a Sunday.
Q. By what authority did the Church substitute Sunday for Saturday?
A. The Church subbed Sunday for Saturday by the abundance of that heavenly force which Jesus Christ offered to her!
— Rev. Subside Geiermann, C.SS.R., (1946), p. 50.
In Catholic Christian Instructed,
Q. Has the [Catholic] church capacity to make any changes in the edicts of God?
A. …Rather than the seventh day, and different celebrations delegated by the old law, the congregation has recommended the Sundays and sacred days to be separate for God’s love; and these we are currently obliged to keep in outcome of God’s rule, rather than the old Sabbath.
— The Catholic Christian Instructed in the Sacraments, Sacrifices, Ceremonies, and Observances of the Church By Way of Question and Answer, RT Rev. Dr. Challoner, p. 204.
In An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine,
Q. How demonstrate you that the congregation hath capacity to order eats and heavenly days?
A. By the very demonstration of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants permit of; and along these lines they affectionately repudiate themselves, by keeping Sunday carefully, and breaking most different dining experiences directed by a similar church.
Q. How demonstrate you that?
A. Since by keeping Sunday, they recognize the congregation’s capacity to appoint feasts, and to order them under transgression; and by not keeping the rest [of the feasts] by her told, they again deny, truth be told, a similar force.
– Rev. Henry Tuberville, D.D. (R.C.), (1833), page 58.
In A Doctrinal Catechism,
Q. Have you some other method of demonstrating that the Church has capacity to initiate celebrations of statute?
A. Had she not such force, she was unable to have done that in which every cutting edge religionist concur with her. She was unable to have subbed the recognition of Sunday the main day of the week, for the recognition of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural power.
– Rev. Stephen Keenan, (1851), p. 174.
In the Catechism of the Council of Trent,
The Church of God has thought it well to move the festival and recognition of the Sabbath to Sunday!
– p 402, second reconsidered version (English), 1937. (First distributed in 1566)
In the Augsburg Confession,
They [the Catholics] affirm the Sabbath changed into Sunday, the Lord’s day, in opposition to the decalogue, as it shows up; nor is there any model more bragged than the changing of the Sabbath day. Incredible, they state, is the force and authority of the congregation, since it shed one of the ten edicts.
— Art. 28.
