SUNDAY is Catholic Authority

ROMAN CATHOLIC SAID:

'Sunday is our mark of authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is a proof of that fact.'
(The Catholic Record, London, Ontario, Sept.1.1923)
------------------------------------

Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of worship. The Roman Catholic Church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority.
If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on the
Bible, it should worship on Saturday.
The Catholic Church transferred the solemnity of the Sabbath to Sunday; it is a MARK of her ecclesiastic authority in religious matters~ reason and common sense demand the acceptance of 1 or the other of these alternatives; either Protestantism and the keeping Holy of Saturday, or Catholicity and the keeping Holy of Sunday, compromise is impossible~  any Protestant who claims the Bible alone as their only rule of faith would logically become 7th Day Adventists

~Editors Note:
either the Catholic Church is right or the Seventh Day
Adventists are right, there can be no other choice, and if
one chooses neither,
then the whole doctrine of Sola Scriptura collapses,
and with it the pillar upon which Protestantism stands.

a person who violates the Sanctity of SUNday is to be
punished as a heretic. John Paul II
~Detroit News, July 7 1998~
----------------------------------------------------

the Bible says REMEMBER that thou keep Holy the Sabbath Day ~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 reverent obedience to the Command of the Holy Catholic Church
~Father Enright- American Sentinal- June 1895
------------------------------------------------------

SUNday is a 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 which warrants the transfer of
the weekly public worship from the last day of the
week to the first
~Catholic Press(Sydney) August 25th 1900

"It must always be clear,
when the expression sister Churches is used in this proper sense that the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic universal church is not sister
but mother of all the particular Churches"
-- Cardinal Ratzinger.

We Catholics are the "Mother" Church
and Our Protestant Daughters Are Harlots
-- (Rev. 17:5)

Sunday “is the identity of the Christian community and
the center of his life and mission”, that “we cannot
live without joining together on Sunday”, that only
those Christians “who lived in accordance with Sunday”
have “attained new hope”, and that “the Christians of
today will rediscover the crucial importance of the
Sunday Celebration”. (Pastoral Visit of Pope Benedict
XVI to Bari for the Closing of the 24th Italian National
Eucharistic Congress, Homily of Pope Benedict XVI,
Esplanade of Marisabella, Sunday, May 29, 2005.)
-------------------------------------------------------

Saturday is “no longer” the worship day of God, only on
Sunday can we become part of the body of Christ in the
world, only by worshiping on Sunday can we avoid
“egoistic isolation” and instead be united “in a great
community...a universal community” becoming “related
to everyone in the world.” (Meeting with Diocesan
Clergy of Aosta, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, Parish
Church at Introd (Aosta Valley),
Monday, July 25, 2005.)
--------------------------------------------

Every Sunday is to be dedicated and given to God.
(Mass on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, Homily of Pope Benedict XVI, given in

--------------------------------------------

“Social disorder, war, injustice and violence” can only
be countered “ by renewed appreciation and respect for
the universal moral law [Sunday observance], that only
by recognizing that law can the world have “dignity,
life and freedom” with “conditions of justice and peace”
in all the communities of the world, and that the
promotion and defense of this law is what “must govern
relations between nations and peoples in the pursuit of
the common good of the human family...within the
international community.” (Address of Pope Benedict XVI
to H.E. Mr Francis Rooney, New Ambassador of the United States of America to the Holy See, Saturday,
November 12, 2005.)

Sunday is a day of rest for all workers. (Address of
Pope Benedict XVI to the Italian Christian Workers'
Associations (A.C.L.I.), Clementine Hall, Friday,

People cannot be sanctified except on Sunday, that Christ transferred Sabbath sacredness to Sunday, that only those who keep Sunday belong to Christ, that only on Sunday does “the risen Lord makes himself present among his followers”, that only these “worship God properly”, and that may Sunday “regain all its importance.”
(Letter of Pope Benedict XVI to Card. Francis Arinze on the Occasion of the Study Day in Honour of the 43rd Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, From the Vatican, November 27, 2006.)
-----------------------------------------------

Sunday is an “obligation for all the faithful” which brings
“authentic freedom enabling them to live each day”, that
it is the Lord’s day, that it is “a day to be sanctified”,
and those who do not keep it suffer “the loss of an
authentic sense of Christian freedom” and the loss of
being “the children of God”, that Sunday is the “primordial holy day” and “is meant to be kept holy”, “a day of rest from work”, which hopefully “will also be recognized by civil society” by law.
(Sacramentum Caritatis: Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Eucharist as the Source and Summit of the Church's Life and Mission, Given by Pope Benedict XVI in Rome, at Saint Peter's, February 22, 2007, the Feast of the Chair of Peter.)
---------------------------------------------

“It is necessary” “to hold Sunday in special high regard”
in order “to remain united to Christ”, as “it is the day
dedicated to the Lord.” (Message of Pope Benedict XVI to the Participants in the 9th International Youth Forum
(Rocca di Papa, 28-31 March 2007), from the Vatican,
March 28, 2007.)
-----------------------------------------------

Only on Sunday can we experience “a personal encounter with Christ.”
(Apostolic Journey of Pope Benedict XVI to Brazil on the Occasion of the Fifth General Conference of the Bishops of Latin America and the Carribbean, Inaugural Session, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, Conference Hall, Shrine of Aparecida, Sunday, May 13, 2007.)
--------------------------------------------------

“Without the Lord’s day, we cannot live”, that meeting with the Lord only occurs on the “specific day” of Sunday, that life does not flourish without Sunday, and that Sunday is a day of rest, of freedom and equality for all the world.
(Eucharistic Celebration Homily of Pope Benedict XVI ,
Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna, Sunday,
September 9, 2007.)

The world has greater need of hope for peace, justice and freedom, which “can never be delivered without obedience to the law of God [Sunday holiness]”. (Video-Message of the Pope Benedict XVI to Catholics and People of the United States of America on the Occasion of the Upcoming Apostolic Journey, April 15-21, 2008.)

“But our principal concern is to silence this sect of Sabbath keepers. We must excite popular indignation against them. We will enlist great men and worldly-wise men upon our side, and induce those in authority to carry out our purposes.
Then the sabbath which I have set up shall be enforced by laws the most severe and exacting. Those who disregard them shall be driven out from the cities and villages, and made to suffer hunger and privation. When once we have the power, we will show what we can do with those who will not swerve from their allegiance to God. We led the Romish church to inflict imprisonment, torture, and death upon those who refused to yield to her decrees; and now that we are bringing the Protestant churches and the world into harmony with this right arm of our strength, we will finally have a law to exterminate
all who will not submit to our authority. When death
shall be made the penalty of violating our sabbath,
then many who are now ranked with commandment keepers will come over to our side. {TM 473.1}
