Honestly I don't know what the cutoff times for licitness are. It seems to me, that there could be some geographical and cultural leeway. Aren't you heartened to learn that something you would call a novelty actually makes sense? Do you think you might discover you have other misconceptions?
It doesn't make sense. You are citing Jewish law to defend a novelty of new Catholicism. Does this mean that one is forbidden from servile work on Saturday evening?
