The Catholic Church has the authority to change the sabbath day. because Jesus gave the church that authority, when he founded it.
Mat 18:18 Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.
Mat 18:19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.
The above language is broad enough to cover just about anything the church might decide to do ... even something like compiling the authentic list of books that make up the Bible.
I wonder where non-Catholics get the authority to do the things they do?

First you need to understand what the sabbath is for? The Sabbath was an important feature of the Mosaic Law. It provided an opportunity for activities that renewed the spirit, such as reading and discussing God’s Word within the family affording opportunity for parents to teach their children about God.
After Jesus’ death changes took place. With the guidance of God’s spirit the early Christians realized that they were no longer under the Law and that “Christ is the end of the Law.” (Romans 10:4; 6:14, 15) They were no longer bound to make animal sacrifices, pay tithes, be circumcised or keep the Sabbath.
In 321Â C.E., the Roman emperor Constantine made a law that Sunday should be observed that it was sacred to the sun. Today, people still recognizes dies solis, the day of the sun!
If a day should be observed it would be Saturday but christians are not under any obligation to observe a Sabbath because the law was only for ancient Israel and “Christ is the end of the Law,” including the Sabbath.

Sabbath has always been Saturday
Sunday was never changed to Sabbath
Sunday is not sabbath but rather is referred to as the Lord's Day, because of the day that Jesus rose from the dead
Most but not all Christians worship on the the Lord's Day - there are some Christians who still keep the Sabbath

The Sabbath day has not changed. It was , and still is Saturday. Christians-not Jews, worship on the resurrection day which is Sunday, the Sabbath is unaffected.

Sorry, but teh Sabbath began at sundown Friday, and went until sundown Saturday. It was from the Law of Moses, and is tied to keeping the Law, which no one can do.
Romans 3:10
as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
The Apositles began meeting on the Lord's Day (Sunday) because they were kicked out of the Jewish synagogues, and Sunday is the Day that Jesus rose from the dead.
Galatians 4:21-26
21 Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.
23 But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.
24 This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.
25 Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.

Because Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man, i.e. for our benefit, and not man for the Sabbath, i.e. a good work. It is changed to Sunday so we can celebrate the Resurrection which is for man an event of eternity.

Sabbath is a speculative time slot, no one really knows the when, where, and why, Jesus never authorized anything in his short time in office.

One day in seven is sufficient.
Sabbath was sundown to sundown encompassing two of our days.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The only Sabbath mentioned in the Bible is the 7th day of the week. There is a possibility that the "Lord's Day" in Rev. 1.10 is referring to the 1st day of the week, but the Bible doesn't identify it specifically as ANY day of the week.
