What was the reason why the weekly Sabbath was changed from the Saturday to the Sunday?H[HOA. Because our Lord fully accomplished the work of our redemption by rising from the dead on a Sunday, and by sending down the Holy Ghost on a Sunday: as therefore the work of our redemption was a greater work than that of our creation, the primitive Church thought the day, in which this work was completely finished, was more worthy [of] her religious observation than that in which God rested from the creation, and should be properly called the LordHHM HHs day.H[HHQQ. But has the Church a power to make any alterations in the commandments of God?H[HOLA. The commandments of God, as far as they contain his eternal law, are unalterable and indispensable; but as to whatever was only ceremonial, they cease to oblige, since the Mosaic law was abrogated by Christ's death. Hence, as far as the commandment obliges us to set aside some part of our time for the worship and service of our Creator, it is an unalterable and unchangeable precept of the eternal law, in which the Church cannot dispense: but for as much as it prescribes the seventh day in particular for this purpose, it is no more than a ceremonial precept of the old law, which HB@ @ @ obligethHH not Christians. And therefore, instead of the seventh day, and other festivals appointed in the old law, the Church has prescribed the Sundays and HB@ @ @ holydaysHH to be set apart for God's worship; and these we are now obliged to keep in consequence of God's commandment, instead of the ancient Sabbath.HdPSpcADPBrkA;DPIdtALCSEndOu \BA@. .1+BO @@PXx @PAFD<@QA@CHCXHSource: HCXH by Stephen HCXB@ @ @ Keenan,HCXH Imprimatur by John Cardinal HCXB@ @ @ McCloskey,HCXHD Archbishop of New York, Third American Edition, Published by P.

Ask him why he keeps Sunday, and not Saturday, as his day of rest, since he is unwilling either to fast or to abstain. If he reply, that the Scripture orders him to keep the Sunday, but says nothing as to fasting and abstinence, tell him the Scripture speaks of Saturday or the Sabbath, but gives no command anywhere regarding Sunday or the first day of the week. If, then, he neglects Saturday as a day of rest and holiness, and substitutes Sunday in its place, and this merely because such was the usage of the ancient Church, should he not, if he wishes to act consistently, observe fasting and abstinence, because the ancient Church so ordained?HCXdPSpcADPBrkA;DPIdtALCSEnd=q@DXA@ AAB= @@PXx B@PAFF<hf&A@CHHSource: HH, of HB@ @ @ HuntingtonHH: Indiana, October 26, 1913, Bureau of Information, page 3.HdPSpcADPIdtAIDPBrkA;CSEndHPAFF<pfA@CHHiIs it true that the Catholic Church substituted the observance of Sunday for the observance of the Bible HB@ @ @ Sabbath?HB@ @ @ N @B@ @ @ Gand@H is it true that so-called Protestants contradict themselves weekly by trampling underfoot the Bible seventh day Sabbath, and accept the Catholic Sunday, all the while rejecting the other festivals of the Church?
