“Not the Creator of the Universe, in Genesis 2:1-3, but the Catholic Church “can claim the honor of having granted man a pause to his work every seven days.” -- S.C. Mosna, 'Storia della Domenica”, 1969, pp. 366-367.

“Reason and common sense demand the acceptance of One 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. “The Catholic Mirror, December 23, 1893.”

“Sunday is therefor to this day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church, as spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world” Editorial, The Catholic Mirror (Baltimore), September 23, 1893.

“You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, A day which we never sanctify.” (Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of our Fathers – 92ne ed.rev. Baltimore: John Murphy Company, p.89.

“The Sunday ... is purely a creation of the Catholic Church.” American Catholic Quarterly Review, January 1883.

“Sunday ... It is a law of the Catholic Church alone...” American Sentinel (Catholic) June 1893.

“... the observance of Sunday by Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves to the authority of the Catholic Church.” Monsignor Louis Segar, Plain Talk about the Protestantism of Today. P. 213.

“But the Protestant says: How can I receive the teachings of an apostate Church? How, we ask, have you managed to receive her teachings all your life, in direct opposition to your recognized teacher, the Bible, on the Sabbath question.” The Christian Sabbath (2nd Ed; Baltimore; The Catholic Mirror, 1893) p.29,30.

“... those who follow the Bible as their guide, the Israelites and the Seventh-day Adventists have the exclusive weight of evidence on their side, whilist the Biblical Protestant has not a word in self defence of the substitution of Sunday for Saturday.” Catholic Mirror, Sept.9, 1893

“The Adventists are the only body of Christians with the Bible as their teach, who can find no warrant in its pages for the change of day from the seventh to the first. Hence their appellation, “Seventh-day Adventists.” Catholic Mirror, Sept. 9, 1893

“The (Catholic) Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of divine, infallible authority given to her by her Founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter the Seventh-day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant.” “The Question Box,” The Catholic Univers Bulletin, (August 14, 1942) p. 4.

In a recent Catholic church newsletter, it stated, “Perhaps the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century [actually in happened in the fourth century]. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. ‘The Day of the Lord’ [Dies Domini] was chosen, not from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church’s sense of its own power.…People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become [Seventh-day] Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.” Saint Catherine Catholic Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.

“As reported in the Associated Press, with the Dalai Lama, sitting by his right side, this October [1999] in Rome the Pope presided at a special council of some 2000 religious leader of various faiths, sects, and cults.” (Dr, Cathy Burres, 2001, billy Graham and his friends.

The Pontiff told the assembled Buddhist monks, Zoroastrain priests, Catholic cardinals, Hindu gurus, American Indian shamen, Jewish rabbis, and ecumenical clergy that all must join in condeming the Christian fundamentalists who 'abuse speech' and whose efforts at converting others 'incite hatred and violence.'

Interesting how repeating what the Bible says is inciting hatred and violence.

Truth being put out, you choose!

“All present were in accord on two key points: (1) Pope John Paul II was endorsed by consensus as the planet's chief spiritual guide and overseer; and (2) Religious fundamentalists who refuse to go along with the global ecumenical movement are to be silenced. They must be denounced as 'dangerous extremists' full of hate.” (True Bible believer denounced at Papal Conference. Power of Prophecy (March 2000, Vol 2000-03, p.3)

Jesus said to go into all the world and preach the Truth.
