Our Heavenly Father's calendar points to His Son, and the world's pope gregory calendar points to the Sun..
But so many accept the false premise that there is only one way to tell time, so powers and principalities in this counterfeit world, like the papacy, frame the argument...
One way to certainly deceive the whole world, even the very elect..
I suspect even many protestants,who oppose the papacy on principle, could agree that Sunsday should be holy and work/lobby to make it happen...
Daniel 7:25 says it could/would happen..
I’m so curious. Are you a Seventh Day Baptist? or Adventist? Or rather, what church are you affiliated with?
what is the point of opening stores on Sunday when no one has any money to buy anything?
**he disagreed with opening stores and other businesses on Sundays as a way to create jobs**
Even God worked six days and rested on the seventh day.
Would that be “not faithful?” Frankly, broad proclamations like this are rather short-sighted. I'm not a Bible scholar, but I'd find it difficult to believe that Jesus, or any of the Disciples or main subjects in it didn't do ‘something’ on the Sabbath.
When I was a kid, we were forced to play with each other ... actually ... there was no force required ... we had been reared in a social structure that didn't HAVE Sunday entertainment ...
It was a time when we divided candy bars among four friends, shared one bottle of tonic (I'm from Boston), rode our bikes from morning 'til suppah time, never wore helmets or kneepads, didn't know what tofu was nor bean sprouts, in fact ... by today's standards ... I committed suicide by the age of ten.
Sunday was an afternoon at the family table after church .. maybe some play, but not much, 'cause the Wonderful World of Disney came on sometime in the evening and we didn't want to miss that.
Later on in life it was Ed Sullivan
SO disappointed as we aged when we outlived TV ...
I mean the test pattern came on after midnight's prayer and National Anthem.
Remember ... the family that prays together, stays together.
(Which I think was a national anthem in and of itself in those days)
I guess I'm not following this. Not working on Sundays was never a "traditional practice", it was and still is Divine Law. When did Francis think this changed?
I grew up in the era of Blue Laws on Pennsylvania. I don't recall there being any hardship by not having businesses open on Sunday.
By the way, it would be nice if businesses would close on holidays too. Being open on Christmas, for example, is outrageous.
The seventh day, not the first day is the day of rest.
The stores should be closed on Saturday if any day.
I was raised presbyterian and as a teen I questioned their doctrine.
After actually reading the Bible, I first questioned why at church we creepily droned/chanted , about things including believing in the catholic church.
Let’s not even go into all of the vain repetitions and prayers to idols.
Saturday is the Sabbath.
Say what you want about how it changed, who changed it, or why. Simple fact is unless the Bible spells it out in Gods words that the Sabbath has changed, It hasn’t.
I don’t go to church, so this isn’t bashing any denomination.
I will say though, I don’t like the wasted money in churches on expensive buildings and the like.
We need a Tea Party for churches to take us back to our faiths founding document...The Holy Bible.

So this was all I could find regarding such a homily at such a mass.
Nowhere do I find any of these comments.
If you were to present there with a heart attack, she'd be the first person you'd see.
If you have a problem with this, my suggestion would be not to schedule your heart attack on any Sundays.
BTW We go to Mass Saturday evening.
Does anyone understand what delchiante is saying? If so, could you please help me out?
