ROMAN CATHOLIC.

"Question. What is the third commandment? Ans. Remember that thou keepest holy the Sabbath-day. Q. When began the Sabbath to be kept? A. From the very creation of the world: for then God "blessed it, and rested on it, from all his works." Gen. ii, 2. Q. Why was the Jewish Sabbath changed into the Sunday? A. Because Christ was born upon a Sunday, rose from the dead upon a Sunday, and sent down the Holy Ghost upon a Sunday: works not inferior to the creation of the world. Q. By whom was it changed? A. By the Governors of the church, &c. Q. How prove you that the church hath power to command feasts and holydays? A. By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of," &c.—Douay Catechism, pp. 57, 58.
Mark well the claim of the old Mother Church.
