"By rooting Sunday keeping in the Sabbath commandment, the Pope attempts to offer the strongest moral reasons to urge Chritians to "ensure that civil legislation repects their duty to keep Sunday holy." (#67)
Yet, Sunday is a child of the Catholic Church, IT IS NOT A COMMAND FROM GOD.
Everywhere she has the power to do so, the Catholic Church will push for Sunday legislation.
The "Infallible" words from the "papal chair" declared by a former pope:
In the Bull "Cantate Domino", Feb. 4, 1441 during the Council of Florence,
"It [the Roman Church] firmly believes, professes, and teaches...after the promulgation of the Gospel it asserts that they (laws, including the SABBATH) cannot be observed without the loss of eternal salvation. All, therefore, who after that time observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, it declares alien to the Christian fath and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation, unless someday they recover from theses errors."
Now read what the present Pope says:
(Apostolic Letter Dies Domini on Keeping the Lord's Day Holy)
"Sunday assembly is the privileged place of unity. . .which marks the church as a people gathered in the unity of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. For Christian families, Sunday assembly is one of the MOST OUTSTANDING EXPRESSIONS OF THEIR IDENTITY. . .explaining the important reasons behind the OBLIGATORY NATURE of the precept." (#36)
Notice, Sunday according to him is "obligatory", inscribed in canon law, hoping to become legislative laws?"
My point:
i disagree that sunday is "a Child of the Catholic Church," as you put it, sir. It is a Christian tradition. Jesus arose from the dead the day after the Sabbath. Canon Law is ultimately rooted in scripture.
This is a nice thread, by the way, except for the meddling of occult apologists who are, yet again, trying to disrupt constructive debate with their misinformed, nihilistic, arguments.
