"...as a solar festival, Sunday was the sacred day of Mithra; and it is interesting to notice that since Mithra was addressed, as Dominus, 'Lord," Sunday must have been 'the Lord's Day' long before Christian times." -The Paganism in Our Christianity, Arthur Weigall, 1928, p136 Cardinal Newman admits in his book that; the "The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church. {374}" -An Essay on the The Development of the Christian Doctrine John Henry "Cardinal Newman" p.359 |

"Of course the
Catholic Church claims that the
change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical
authority in religious things." -H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal
Gibbons. "Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church
is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof
of that fact" -Catholic Record of “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 the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in
reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic church!” -Fr Enright, C.S.S.R. History
of the Sabbath, p. 802 |
