The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.... The Christian Sabbath [Sunday] is therefore to this day [the] acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church... without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world." The Catholic Mirror, Sept. 23, 1893.

"You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday..." James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers, p. 111.

[Editor’s Note: The following is a letter J L. Day wrote to the Pope asking about the change from Saturday to Sunday, and the reply which he received.]

[Editor’s Note: Seventh-day Adventists are not the only ones who keep Saturday as the Sabbath. At present there are well over twenty million Christians worldwide who keep the seventh day Sabbath. They are spread among more than twenty-five denominations and hundreds of independent congregations.]
