    ‘Question – How prove you that the church hath power to command feasts and holy days?’
    ‘Answer – By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of.’
    ‘An Abridgment of Christian Doctrine,’ by Rev Henry Tuberville, D.D. Page 58.
    ‘They [the Catholics] allege the Sabbath changed into Sunday, the Lord’s day, contrary to the decalogue, as it appears; neither is there any example more boasted of than the changing of the Sabbath day. Great, say they, is the power and authority of the church, since it dispensed with one of the Ten Commandments.’ Augsburg Confession, Art. XXVIII.
    ‘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 in ‘The Faith of Our Fathers.‘
    ‘Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles…. 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.’ – Catholic Press,’ August 25, 1900.
    ‘The observance of Sunday by Protestants is a homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the church.’ – Monsignor Segur in ‘Plain Talk About the Protestantism of Today.’
    ‘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 dreamt of doing anything in matters spiritual and ecclesiastical and religious without her. And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical power.’ – Cardinal Gibbons.
