"The Catholic Church doesn't care a whit what it says or does not say in the Bible about attending Church. The Catholic Church KNOWS what Jesus and the Apostles left it in the Deposit of Faith, and this includes the obligation to attend Mass every week on Sunday."

You say the Catholic church" doesn't care a whit what it says or does not say in the Bible" about attending church depending instead on some mystical statement regarding the "Deposit of Faith" and obligations to attend Mass.

My Goodness, our Saviour should have admonished his disciples for plucking and shucking the green corn and eating it with unwashed hands on the Sabbath as the pharisees had demanded that he should, but Jesus being the Lord of the Sabbath, healed also on the Sabbath, and declared that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.

I think certain Catholics would be happy if the church adopted the motto(borrowed from the NY Times)...The Catholic Church "Using any of the Bible that's Fit to Use!(at the appropriate time and not violating any man-made traditions; void where taxed and licensed of course)"

Please quote to us all the verses of the Bible which address attending Church on Sunday.

Once you do this, you'll understand the context of my statement.
