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.

The pharisees and Sadducees also cared not what the OT said about the right way to live depending instead on their Oral tradition and those written down in the Talmud.
Christ by using the actual old Testament exposed their follies.
By denying the ultimate authority of the Bible to expose the inevitable errors that creep in in every human run religious institution including Catholicism, Catholicism opened itself up to open scism as in the Reformation, and to the current sinful excesses that it suffers from today...but don't worry I'm not just describing Catholicism...the mainline Protestant churches are just as guilty and suffereing from their gross error as well.
Hmmm, a strong case of "do as I say, not what our faith is supposed to be based on"
The Pharissees held thier faith/belief in the letterof Law and traditions...Just as the Catholic Church does, and not into the spirit of the law
If you do not have the Bible, the only true book of books that are the standards of the faith, then your foundation is on the sand and the waves of tradition and dogma will wash it away.
There isn't any record that church was on Sunday.
Sabbat/Sabbath is on the 7th day/Saturday...
Remember the Sabbat and Keep it Holy!
So, do you keep Saturdays Holy for God and rest? That is the only reference to giving a day to God. And, none of it says you must attend church. The early Christians were converted Jews, they still followed thier holidays and kept the laws. The only thing that has changed is the sacrificial law... Jesus came and fulfilled that Law!
The Crucifix and Eucharist are a daily reminder of a constantly dying Christ... Jesus isn't Dead... He is Alive! He has Risen! And he didn't establish a church, he is the redeemer for all mankind! I would rather follow God's laws that are written for us, before just taking someone's word for it. God's plan for salvation is simple. Read your Bible. The path is even in your Catholic Bible, too bad you are told not to read it.
