Other Quotations

Catholic Encyclopedia

“The church, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath or the seventh day of the week to the first, made the third commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord’s day.”

Catholic Catechism

“Saturday is the Sabbath day… We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church and the Council of Laodicea transferred the sanctity from Saturday to Sunday.”

Catholic Press (Australia)

“Sunday is a Catholic, by which I mean Roman Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles. From the beginning to the end of scripture, there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.”
