So if it was "the papacy", which Pope did it?
---------------------------
That's a trick question. The papacy refers to the institution which eventually became the RCC. They probably went centuries before the first Pope office was invented. To name a non-existent person to answer your question is ludicrous.

You obviously haven't been closely following this thread but I'll be patient with you this one time and clue you in:

1. He claimed that "the papacy" changed the Sabbath. AGAIN here is his exact quote:
"Either they are in a cult where their human leaders think they can change the 10 commandments ie the papacy.."

2. "The papacy" isn't a person, it is an office in the Church that is composed of succession of men--267 of them over 2000 years at this point. So at one point, one of these men supposedly changed the Sabbath to Sunday. My question was simple and not a "trick" question at all: If a certain Pope at a particular time made some kind of edict saying something to the effect of "From now on Saturday is no longer the Sabbath I'm changing it to Saturday", then who was that Pope and when did he make this pronouncement? Surely such a momentous announcement of change would be recorded somewhere and we would know the name of the Pope and the year and other details. In addition, there would be records of educated believers of that time being up in arms about someone changing the ten commandments. Records of Church councils and letters from the early Church Fathers are FULL of fierce controversies of people calling out heresies and even disagreeing on the slightest variation of doctrine of practice. But we have nothing about this.

I suppose it should not be surprising that you wouldn't know Church history since for the Protestant, Church history stopped at the end of the Acts of the Apostles and went into suspended animation for 1500 years until Luther invented Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide. But to be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.

I'm too old and experienced at this to get get baited into a quagmire

No, you're too stubborn and stiffnecked to follow the Word of God. Your eyes are shut and ears are stopped and you blindly follow your denomination.

That's the usual conclusion of a person that can't come up with a good answer. I could say the same about you (but I won't). Let me know when you have an honest answer to my simple question. Until then have a blessed day.
