Make no mistake about it...

Any non-Catholic who keeps Sunday sacred is showing their allegiance to ROME. It is an abomination unto God.

What exactly do you think is the meaning of the ‘infallibility of the Pope’?

As I understand it, it basically means Final Word.
The Pope, supposedly with the intent of guarding the faith is supposed to have the final word on matters concerning Church body, after consulting his bishops and cardinals.

Pearls are not to be cast before swine it’s true, but it would seem some of these faithless or faith-defying individuals need to be exposed to a public miracle or two to snap them out of their neuroses.

Actually it was the early Christians, led by the apostles, long before the Roman Catholic Church began, that first began the Sunday Worship. Acts 20:7 tells us, “On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread…” Paul and other disciples had gone to Troas, and they specifically stayed seven days (Acts 20:6), apparently in order to meet with those brethren on the first day of the week and join in that fellowship with worship and Communion (The Lord’s Supper). Sunday was held sacred as the Lord's day in remembrance of His Resurrection on that day.

Your passage is not evidence that they changed their Sabbath to the First day. They kept time differently than we do.

When the sun set, their day ended and their new day began. So, in Acts 20:7-9, they were likely gathered around on the Sabbath day already and when they broke bread on the First Day, it just means Saturday night. Paul began speaking in the evening and continued until sometime in the middle of the night.

Eutychus’ death gives evidence of what I say, because his falling asleep would indicate he’s tired at the end of the day rather than the beginning.

7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

What follows is chiefly a problem for Catholics, but it highlights how this blessing is a sham.

Per the document,

One must also avoid the risk of reducing the meaning of blessings to this point of view alone, for it would lead us to expect the same moral conditions for a simple blessing that are called for in the reception of the sacraments. Such a risk requires that we broaden this perspective further. Indeed, there is the danger that a pastoral gesture that is so beloved and widespread will be subjected to too many moral prerequisites, which, under the claim of control, could overshadow the unconditional power of God’s love that forms the basis for the gesture of blessing. 13. Precisely in this regard, Pope Francis urged us not to “lose pastoral charity, which should permeate all our decisions and attitudes” and to avoid being “judges who only deny, reject, and exclude.”

For years, Pope Francis has denied, rejected, and excluded any Catholic who loves the Latin Mass, who believes in the permanence of Truth, and who doesn’t go wild for every “innovation” he promotes. HE is the one who’s been a cruel judge.

Given that reality, how in the world can anyone suppress incredulous laughter when they read the syntax above?

The “document” is ...word poop...in my opinion.

Trying to make it sound good...abortion is Not killing a baby, it’s Health care... adultery is not a betrayal of purity...it’s expression of love...murder is not sinful...it’s getting rid of someone you don’t like...and on and on and on.....

ENOUGH.

No surprise here.

This is what happens when you tell a Jesuit that he’s infallible.

Certainly not.

Did the Apostles Abandon The Sabbath
And Keep Sunday Instead
To Honor The Resurrection?

Sunday is NOT the Sabbath!

God over rules “pope”?

I guess Mary might have to step in.

People REALLY need to stop calling this tool of satan “Pope”. It should be clear by now that he is squatting in the seat. Has never been the Pope, the entire thing is about as valid as the 2020 election and the guy currently squatting in the White House.

From Rome’s Challenge: (there is not one biblical word about keeping Sunday in place of the 7th-day-Sabbath)

https://www.romeschallenge.com/downloads/RomesChallenge.pdf

“The Protestants claim to stand upon the written word only. They profess to hold the Scripture alone as the standard of faith. They justify their revolt by the plea that the Church has apostatized from the written word and follows tradition. Now the Protestant’s claim, that they stand upon the written word only is not true. Their profession of holding the Scripture alone as the standard of faith, is false. PROOF: The written word explicitly enjoins the observance of the seventh day as the Sabbath. They do not observe the seventh day, but reject it. If they do truly hold the Scripture alone as their standard, they would be observing the seventh day as is enjoined in the scripture throughout. Yet they not only reject the observance of the Sabbath enjoined in the written word, but they have adopted and do practice the observance of Sunday, for which they have only the tradition of the Church. Consequently the claim of “Scripture alone as the standard.’ fails; and the doctrine of “Scripture and tradition” as essential, is fully established, the Protestants themselves being judges.”

there is not one biblical word

There is not one biblical word authorizing anyone to write a single word of the New Testament.

There is not one biblical word authorizing anyone to recognize a single book of the New Testament as inspired Scripture, except for a vague assertion that (some? all? which one?) of the Pauline epistles are "like the other Scriptures".

Sunday worship was settled doctrine a couple of centuries before the NT canon was definitively promulgated. You read an apostate Bible, collected and preserved by an apostate church, according to your own logic.

Some people think you can extrapolate back from a Pope's bad decisions and conclude that he's not a valid Pope. I don't agree with them, but that it an opinion that some hold.

However, I think there are legitimate questions that can be asked about whether Benedict XVI's resignation was made freely, and about various irregularities in the 2013 papal election.

Some also claim that +Francis was a valid Pope, but is a contumacious public heretic, meaning that he's effectively abandoned his office.

Your very own CATHOLIC CHURCH says otherwise.
