Sabbath/Sunday, the Catholic Rule of Faith,

the Third Plenary Council Catechism for use in the higher grades of
Catholic Schools, compiled by Rev. Thomas J. O'brien, inspector of
Parochial Schools, Diocese of Brooklyn, published by John B. Oink,
Chicago Ill., copyright 1929.
Topic: Cardinal Humbert quoting Pope
Sylvester I (A.D. 314-335) regarding the
Sabbath:
"If every Lord’s day is
to be observed joyfully by the Christians on account of the
resurrection, then every Sabbath on account of the burial is
detestably Jewish. In
fact all the disciples of the Lord lamented on
the Sabbath, bewailing the buried Lord, and the Jews exulted. But
sadness reigned for the fasting apostles. In like manner we are
sad, saddened by the burial of the Lord, and rejoice with them in
the Lord’s resurrection. Neither
in fact is it proper to feast [on the Sabbath] as the Jewish
custom observed by the Jews."
Ex quorum numero
beatissimus papa Silvester, magni Constantini Augusti spiritualis
pater, inter alia dixit : < Si omnis Dominicus dies resurrectionis
gratia est colendus in gaudio Christianorum : omnis ergo sabbati dies
sepulturae deputandus est in exsecratione Judaerorum. Omnis enim
discipuli Domini Sabbato fletum habuerunt, sepultum Dominum
suspirantes, et Judaeis exulantibus laetitia inerat. Apostolis autem
jejunantibus tristitia imperabat. Tristemur itaque cum tristantibus de
sepultura Domini, si volumus cum iisdem de Domini resurrectione
gaudere. Neque enim fas est destructiones ciborum et caerimonias
Judaeorum more Judaico observemus. >

Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in
the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 336), transferred the solemnity from
Saturday to Sunday.
Q. Why did the Catholic Church substitute Sunday for Saturday? A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday, because Christ rose
from the dead on Sunday, and the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles
on a Sunday.
Q. By what authority did the Church substitute Sunday for Saturday? A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plenitude of
that divine power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her.
Q. What does the Third Commandment command? A. The Third Commandment commands us to sanctify Sunday as the
Lord's Day.

Have no fear when people call me the "Vicar
of Christ," when they say to me, "Holy Father," or "Your Holiness," or
use titles similar to these, which seem even inimical to the Gospel.
Christ himself declared: "Call no one on earth your father; you have but
one Father in heaven. Do not be called 'Master'; you have but one
master, the Messiah" (Mt 23:9-10). These expressions, nevertheless, have
evolved out of a long tradition, becoming part of common usage. One must
not be afraid of these words either.

"Concerning the Authority of the Church. — The Scripture
teaches: Remember that you keep the Saturday; six days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the
Lord thy God, etc. However, the church has transferred the observance
from Saturday to Sunday by virtue of her own power, without Scripture,
without doubt under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit." "Concerning Holidays and Fast-Days. — The Sabbath is commanded
in various places in the Scriptures. But there is no mention of the
cessation of the Sabbath and the institution of Sunday in the Gospels,
or in Paul's writings, or in all the Bible; therefore this has taken
place by the apostolic church instituting it without Scripture."
"If, however, the church has had power to change the Sabbath of the
Bible into Sunday and to command Sunday-keeping, why should it not
have also this power concerning other days, many of which are based on
the Scriptures — such as Christmas, circumcision of the heart, three
kings, etc. If you omit the latter, and turn from the church to the
Scriptures alone, then you must keep the Sabbath with the Jews, which
has been kept from the beginning of the world." 12

pages 128 - 129: What Imperial Rome lost by the transfer
of the seat of government to the East, the Byzantine Empire gained.
What Papal Rome gained by the removal of a rival power and splendor,
that the Patriarch of Constantinople lost. As the Pope filled the
place of the absent Emperors at Rome, inheriting their power, their
prestige, the titles which they had themselves derived from the days
of their paganism, so the Emperors controlled, guided, personified,
the Church at Constantinople.
page 305: When the barbarians broke upon Italy, the Pope
thus became the representative of the ancient Republic. It is one of
the many senses in which the famous saying of Hobbes is true, that the
Papacy is but "the ghost of the deceased "Roman Empire, sitting
crowned upon the grave "thereof."
Page
516. Topic: And if a man consider the originall of this great
Ecclesiasticall Dominion, he will easily perceive, that the Papacy, is
no other, than the Ghost of the deceased Romane Empire,
sitting crowned upon the grave thereof : For so did the Papacy start
up on a Sudden out of the Ruines of that Heathen Power.
12. Why did the Church change the Lord's
Day from the Sabbath to Sunday?
The Church, using the power of binding and
loosing which Christ gave to the Pope, changed the Lord's day to Sunday
because it was on Sunday (the first day of the week) that Christ rose
from the dead and that the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles.

Where did you get your Bible?
From the Catholic Church whose Bishops and priests wrote the Bible; from
the Catholic Church, which gathered and compiled the books of the Bible;
from the Catholic Church; which selected the true from the false
gospels; from the Catholic Church that living apostolic body, which
determined by its own authority what books were inspired and what were
not, and rejected as uninspired a gospel written by one of the apostles,
the gospel of St. Barnaby. From this same Catholic Church you have
accepted your Sunday, and that Sunday, as the Lord's day, she has handed
down as a tradition; and the entire Protestant world has accepted it as
tradition, for you have not an iota of Scripture to establish it.
Therefore that which you have accepted as your rule of faith, inadequate
as it of course is, as well as your Sunday, you have accepted on the authority of the Roman Catholic
Church.

pg. 386. Topic: Civil enforcement of the third commandment:
Cooperation by the Civil Authorities Regarding This
Commandment: The civil authorities should be urged to cooperate
with the church in maintaining and strengthening this public worship
of God, and to support with their own authority the regulations set
down by the Church's pastors.
In explaining this commandment the pastor should include a discussion
on how it is related to the other commandments: how it resembles them
and how it differs from them. For it is only in this way that the
faithful will understand why it is Sunday and not the Sabbath day that
we now keep holy.

Maurus (776-856), abbot of Fulda and later archbishop of Mainz,
Germany, was rated one of the greatest theologians of his age and
probably the most cultured man of his time, and exceptionally learned in
patristics. He writes that Pope Sylvester I (31 January 314 to 31
December 335), "decreed that the rest of the [Saturday] Sabbath should
be transferred rather to the Lord's day [Sunday]."8

"... when Christianity became the
established religion of the Roman Empire, and took the place of
paganism, it assumed, in a great degree, the forms and rites of
paganism, and participated in no small measure of its spirit also.
Christianity as it existed in the dark ages, might be termed, without
much impropriety of language, baptized paganism."

Venerable Bede (672-735 A.D.), renown ecclesiastical historian and
Doctor of the Church, notes that Pope Sylvester I objected to using
pagan names for the days of the week, and commanded the Church to cease
the practice, decreeing that henceforth week days would be called 1st
feriae, 2nd feriae, 3rd feriae, etc., (feriae meaning a celebration
day). In addition, he commanded the first day of the week be called "the
Lord's Day" and observed as such universally by the Church.

A mid-13th century Dominican author considers Cathars and
Waldensians heretics for keeping the 7th day Sabbath commandment,
not the Lord's day Tradition of the church.
“Against these
heretics, namely the Cathari and Waldenses, it is that we find what is
written in Galatians 4:10 'Ye observe days, and months, and times, and
years' and it adds in verse 11: 'I am afraid of you, lest I have
bestowed upon you,' indeed the result is that you 'labor in
vain'; therefore it is sin to observe days.” — See page 253 of Decoding

Vicarius Filii Dei was used twice by Pope Paul VI in documents found on
the Vatican's web site. These are Apostolic Constitutions, which are the
highest form of official Papal decree in the Roman Catholic Church and
are issued with binding legal authority. In the first Paul VI applies
the title to himself, in the second he applies the title in plural form
to all the Bishops of Rome. See this page for

American Catholic Quarterly Review, Vol. VIII, No. 29,
January 1883, The Observance of Sunday and Civil Laws for its
Enforcement, John Gilmary Shea, LL.D., published in Philadelphia by
Hardy and Mahony Publishers and Proprietors.
"My
brethren, look about you upon the various wrangling sects and
denominations. Show me one that claims, or possesses the power to make
laws binding on the conscience. There's but one on the face of the
earth—the Catholic Church—that has the power to make laws binding upon
the conscience, binding before God, binding under pain of hell fire.
Take for instance the day we celebrate—Sunday. What right have the
Protestant churches to observe that, day? None whatever. You say it is
to obey the commandment, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' But
Sunday is not the Sabbath according to the Bible and the record of time.
Every one knows that Sunday is the first day of the week, while Saturday
is the seventh day and the Sabbath, the day consecrated as a day of
rest. It is so recognized in all civilized nations. I have repeatedly
offered $1000 to any one who will furnish any proof from the Bible that
Sunday is the day we are bound to keep, and no one has called for the
money. If any person in this town will show me any scripture for it I
will, tomorrow evening, publicly acknowledge it and thank him for it. It
was the holy Catholic Church that changed the day of rest from Saturday
to Sunday, the first day of the week. And it not only compelled all to
keep Sunday, but at the Council of Laodicea, A. D. 364, anathematized
those who kept the Sabbath arid urged all persons to labor on the
seventh day under the penalty of anathema.
"Which church does the whole civilized world obey? Protestants call us
every horrible name they can think of—antichrist, the scarlet-colored
beast, Babylon, etc., and at the same time profess great reverence for
the Bible, and yet by their solemn act of keeping Sunday they
acknowledge the power of the Catholic Church. The Bible says, 'Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy,' but the Catholic Church says, 'No,
keep the first day of the week,' and the whole world bows in obedience."

Topic: Father Enright and W. A. Reardon quotes on Sabbath / Sunday.
"The Catholic Church
changed the day from the last to the first day of the
week, because the most memorable of Christ's works were accomplished
on Sunday. It is needless for me to enter into any elaborate proof
of the matter. They can not prove their point from Scripture;
therefore, if sincere, they must
acknowledge that they draw their observance of the Sunday from
tradition: in this they flatly contradict themselves.
"Yours very
sincerely,
"W. A. Reardon."
Jan. 11, 1892.
DEAR FRIEND:—I have
repeatedly offered $1,000 to any one who can prove to me from the Bible
alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the
Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone. 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 obe- dience to the command of the holy
Catholic Church. Yours respectfully,
T. ENRIGHT, Css. R.

Mirror in March of 1899.
Page 22, Our Letter Box, Rampant Sabbatarianism: Sunday is a
Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be defended
only on Catholic principles. If the "Bible and the Bible only is the
religion of Protestants," If "whatever is not read therein nor may be
proved thereby" has no claim on their faith or observance, what scrap
of title can they show for all their dogmatic insistence as to the
requirements of the Lord's Day? From beginning to 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. Thus Sunday
observance is an incongruous adjunct of the Protestant faith, utterly
out of keeping with its fundamental principle, and strongly suggests a
religion that suffered sadly from too much hurry in the making.

Topic: 1260 years of papal sovereignty, Two Romes,
by Very Rev. James P. Conry, Canon of St. Mark's, Rome.
Long ages ago, when Rome
through the neglect of the Western emperors was left to the mercy of
barbarous hordes, Romans turned to one figure for aid and protection
and asked him to rule them; and thus in this simple manner, the best
title of all to kingly right, commenced the temporal sovereignty of
the Popes. And meekly stepping to the throne
of Caesar, the Vicar of Christ took up the sceptre to which
the emperors and kings of Europe were to bow in reverence through so
many ages, from sentiments of respect for the dignity of his office
and because he was the only mediator whom they recognized in their
almost interminable wars.

"Sunday is an
institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the
day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church." (Source: Priest
Brady, Elizabeth, New Jersey, News, March 18th, 1903.)
The following presents a more extensive quote:
The News, March 18, 1903, of
Elizabeth, New Jersey, prints a sermon delivered by "Father" James H.
Brady, Curate of St. Mary's Church of Elizabeth, from which we quote the
following:
"Right here it is necessary to remind you
that the day which you observe as Catholic Christians, and in fact which
all others who claim to be Christians do observe, is not the same day
which is spoken of in the commandment. If you look to the Bible as an
authority for the observance of the day you will not find it. It is well
to remind the Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, and all other
Christians outside the pale of the mother church, that the Bible, the
only authority which they recognise in matters of religion, does not
support them anywhere in the observance of the Christian day, namely
Sunday. The Seventh-day Baptists, and Seventh-day Adventists are the
only ones who properly apply the term Sabbath, because they also observe
the seventh day and not the first day of the week as the day of rest."
"The Christian Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church,
and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic
Church, and thus indirectly acknowledge the authority of that church to
legislate in the name of God in all religious matters and her
superiority over the Bible."

The following quote in The
Bible Echo, June 24, 1901, pg.
408 (8) has been corrected from H. F. Thomas to C.
F. Thomas:
On October
28, 1895, a Mr. J. F. Snyder wrote to Cardinal Gibbons, the highest
Catholic authority in America, asking if the Church of Rome set forth
the change of the Sabbath to the first day of the week as "a mark of her
power." The answer he received was signed, C. F. Thomas, Chancellor for
the Cardinal," and ran thus:—
Of course the Catholic
Church claims that the change was her act. It could not have been
otherwise, as none in those days would have dreamed of doing anything in
matters spiritual, and ecclesiastical, and religious without her. And
the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious
matters.
New York Times, Aug.
24, 1895. On the front page Rev. C. F. Thomas is mentioned as
Cardinal Gibbons' secretary, and the Cardinal talks about Sunday as the
Sabbath:
Cardinal Gibbons received a royal welcome from the prelates who met
him at Quarantine and at the pier. His Eminence looked unusually well.
His eyes sparkled with health, and his cheeks were considerably more
rounded out than when he left, sixteen weeks ago. The members of his
party were his secretary the Rev. C. F. Thomas, Archbishop Riordan of
San Francisco and his secretary, the Rev. D. D. Crowley; Bishop Foley
of Detroit, and Bishop Hogan of Kansas. With his usual graciousness,
he talked willingly of his trip.
...
Speaking of the progress of the Church in Germany, the Cardinal said:
"I was much impressed by its progress there. I like the spirit
expressed, and can say that in Bavaria and in Holland, the Sabbath was
kept more sacredly than in other countries I visited. I might add that
in other countries in Europe, I was much distressed by the almost
total absence of a proper appreciation of the sanctity of the Sabbath.
Men and women worked in the fields, artisans and carpenters worked at
their trades, and storekeepers sold their wares. It grieved me. I hope
there will be a change soon.
"By the way," asked the Cardinal , "Is there anything new in
New-York?"
"They are actually enforcing the excise law," said a member of the
Reception Committee.
"I am glad of it," said the Cardinal. "Every law should be enforced,
and of all laws, the excise law should receive the attention of the
authorities."
"Saloons should be closed on Sunday. First, because it is in the
interest of Christianity; second, because it is good for the law, and
third, because it is good for the people. The poor man certainly
profits most by the enforcement of the law on this subject. God made
the Sabbath."
"Six days thou shall work, and, on the seventh worship Him and rest.
It is impossible to obey this commandment and patronize saloons or
indulge in drink on the Sabbath."
Rev. C. F. Thomas is listed
under the Archdiocese of Baltimore twice, as judge for Curia
for Matrimonial Causes, and Rector for the
Baltimore Cathedral. Also note that Rev. Wm. A. Reardon was
chancellor, Rev. W. A. Fletcher S.T.L. and Rev. W. T. Russell were
secretaries to Cardinal Gibbons. Due to illegible signatures on
letters, Reardon was apparently misread and published as Rewday
and Russell as Russut.
The Rev. C. F. Thomas of the cathedral in Baltimore has been made
pastor of St. Ann's Church, York Road, Baltimore, in place of the late
Rev. W. E. Bartlett.

St. Ann's, at first a small suburban parish, possesses (1914) a
Catholic population of 5000. There are 500 children in the parochial
school, which is in charge of 8 school Sisters of Notre Dame, and 700
in the Sunday-school. The pastor, Rev. C. F. Thomas, J.C.D., LL.D.,
was born in St. Peter's parish in Baltimore, May 12, 1858. After
serving as assistant in Washington and Baltimore, he became pastor of
the Sacred Heart parish. Mount Washington, Md., then chancellor of the
archdiocese and rector of the cathedral. On April 10, 1900, he
succeeded Father Bartlett at the latter's death, and has since his
appointment enlarged the rectory and school.

Letter from Cardinal Gibbons'
secretary, Albert Smith, dated Feb. 10, 1920: "Be sure of it, your
Seventh Day Adventist friends are telling you the truth, when they say
that it was the Catholic Church which changed the day of worship from
the Jewish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday. If protestants would follow
the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath day. In keeping the
Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic Church. During the first
three centuries practice and tradition had consecrated the Sunday to the
worship of God. In the year 300, the Council of Elvira[*] made the law a
definite one." *[Canon 21. If anyone who lives in the city does not
attend church services for three Sundays, let that person be expelled
for a brief time in order to make the reproach public.]
Frequently quoted on the web, and cited by Loraine Boettner on page
127 of his 1962 book Roman Catholicism. Also claimed to have
been quoted in an unspecified edition of the periodical The
Prairie Overcomer, published by the Prairie Bible Institute,
Three Hills, Alberta Canada. It seems likely that nobody who quotes it
actually has this book, as the author, publisher, date of publication,
and page numbers for quotes are never provided.
Here is Boettner's quote:
"The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth. By divine
right, the Pope has supreme and full power in faith and morals over
each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true Vicar of Christ,
the Head of the entire Church, the father and teacher of all
Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the
author of and the judge of councils, the universal ruler of truth,
the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the
judge of all, being judged by no one, God Himself on earth."
