Who Changed the Sabbath?

REV. P. A. KRIER, a Catholic priest of St. Mary's Infirmary, St. Louis, Missouri, made the following statements to a seventh-day woman regarding the Sabbath question:
"You are right."
"You are keeping the day God commands you to keep."
"You can't find anything in the Bible to sustain you in keeping Sunday."
"We changed the day from the Bible Sabbath, so as to have nothing in common with the Jews."
Rev. T. Enright, of Redemptorist Church, Kansas City, Missouri, in a letter recently made the following statements as to who changed the Sabbath:
"The Catholic Church abolished the seventh-day Sabbath, and hallowed instead the first day, Sunday."
"At the Council of Laodicea, about A. D. 366 [364], it was decreed under pain of anathema that the faithful must NOT keep holy the seventh day—must work on that day; (2) that they should keep holy the first day, Sunday."
God says, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God," and, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."
The Catholic Church says, No; you "should keep holy the first day."
Peter says, "We ought to obey God rather than men." May the Lord help us to follow His good counsel.
