It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of Catholics not viewing Sunday as the day of rest, as well as the weekly celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. Are they observing the Jewish Sabbath then, including the end of a day as being at sundown? None of my Catholic relatives, including my former-Catholic father, ever mentioned Saturday as their day of rest.
All my local Catholic churches meet on Sunday and always have. This is a silly thing to fight over.

If you look at the Catechism, their authority, you will note they moved the Sabbath from the 4th commandment, to the 3rd. And they have always said they claim the “authority” to change it from the 7th day to the first day. In fact, in some writings, she claims this change is in fact.......the “Mark” of her authority......who else would? She says.
Now the Catechism provides not scripture for this change other than to say, it’s in honor of the resurrection. But no scripture...just a reason.
The Protestant says......”show me the text.” I don’t care about tradition or church authority or your claim.
Now, in his book on this by Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi who got his doctorate on the change of the Sabbath and from the Vatican University, Gregorian......he notes that Rome may be changing this and is perhaps attempting to use scripture to justify this change.....but this is new. She has never used scripture before and it’s clear if you read rome’s challenge . Which is brilliant theology.
Ignore all the 8th day and new covenant and fulfilled the law nonsense. Those are amateur theologians who are in a real pickle so they twist and turn and invent. They dont’ even know the difference between ceremonial sabbaths that Moses had in a book...versus the Edenic Sabbath that God wrote with his own finger in stone and that John saw in Revelation.......”The tabernacle of the Testimony”
