does the Catechism of the Catholic Church admit to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday? if so, where exactly?

Question

LX V, you did not answer the question...

Answer 1

Catechism : 2175 Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath which it follows chronologically every week; for Christians its ceremonial observance replaces that of the sabbath. In Christ's Passover, Sunday fulfills the spiritual truth of the Jewish sabbath and announces man's eternal rest in God. For worship under the Law prepared for the mystery of Christ, and what was done there prefigured some aspects of Christ:

Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord's Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.

Cheers :-)

Answer 2

Not exactly.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains how for Christians the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the first day of the week (Sunday) replaces the Sabbath as the day of ceremonial observance of the Commandment to keep the Lord's Day holy.

Here is the link: http://www.nccbuscc.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt1art3.htm

The Catholic Church follows the teaching and practice of the Apostles. In the 20th chapter of the Act of the Apostles, the church in Troas gathered on the first day of the week, Sunday.

The first Christians were Jews. They went to temple or synagogue on the Sabbath (Saturday) with fellow Jews.

Then they gathered on the first day of the week, the day on which Jesus rose from the dead (Sunday), with fellow Christians to tell stories of Jesus and share Eucharist. See Acts 20:7.

Later Gentiles joined Christianity. The Apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, decided that the Gentiles did not have to covert to Judaism. Therefore, they only attended on Sundays and did not have to abide by Jewish dietary laws.

This has been the practice ever since.

With love in Christ.

Sunday worship IS Biblical: Isaiah a million:13 - God starts off to bare His displeasure with the Sabbath. Matt. 28:a million; Mark sixteen:2,9; John 20:a million,19- the Gospel writers purposely show Jesus' resurrection and appearances have been on Sunday. it is because of the fact Sunday had now exchange into the main severe day interior the existence of the Church.

Answer 5

The sabbath was changed to Sunday to honor Christ's resurrection. Nothing insidious

Answer 6

It's only about 30-40 years ago that the Vatican changed its policies for Catholics to no longer be guilty of sin by not going to mass on Sunday and allowed them to go Saturday instead; but they were still given the choice. Most Catholics I know were so shocked (after being told for so long that only the Sunday mass was acceptable and that they needed to go to confession if they missed except if they were bed-ridden) that they rebelled and lost much of the faith in the Church they had in it until then... A whole pile of other things changed as well such as not having to wear a hat in chuch for women, not having to abstain from eating meat on Fridays, not having to confess one's sins to the priest alone but in a group with the priest became acceptable as a different form of "confession" was now permitted... and god (their god!) knows what else!!! The people had been blinded by traditions for so long before that, that they seriously began to feel sort of "cheated" by the pope, who suddenly turned their world upside down... and the whole concept of the Catholic Church as been on the decline ever since. It's hard to answer your question per say as there is not just one catholic cathechism and it's not a book that can be quoted like the Bible; As a matter of fact, it has nothing at all to do with the truth of the Bible as it is filled with lies from beginning to end!!! With man-made ideas and pagan customs... We don't hear much about this book any more, do we??? And that's a good thing! When I think that I had to learn it all by heart!!! I'm real glad to have learnt the truth that set me free from the genuine and only book that claims divine inspiration, the Bible! Thanks!

Answer 7

Yes it does. Some say they did it to celebrate Resurrection Sunday. And others say it was changed to suite pagans,who worshiped the 'Sun' god, in order to get their money. All I know is God worked for six days and had one day of rest. And we should too.

Answer 8

Those who keep the Sabbath are still holding on to the Law. But Jesus came with a new covenant. The Covenant of Grace.

The Sabbath was a Day of Rest, according to the Law.

Jesus himself said; he came not to destroy the law or the Prophets by to fulfill.

Which was fulfilled by Jesus in his three days burial.

He rose from the rest on the evening of the Sabbath, the start of another day. Remember,

Jesus said in Matthew 12:40; For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

From passover day till his resurrection there were two Sabbaths.

One was an Annual Sabbath and the other was a weekly Sabbath.

So, on Wednesday before sunset, Jesus laid down his life for mankind and commended his spirit, into the Fathers hands "Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit… and after uttering the words that started, the beginning to God's Salvation Plan, "It is Finished" giving up the ghost, he died, as the sun was starting to set on another day.

Jesus was placed in the tomb, before the sun had completely set, starting the Three Days and Three Nights count down to his Resurrection. Remember a Jewish day was from Sunset to Sunset.

The Resurrection of Jesus occurred on Saturday between 6:00 – 7:00 Pm, ending the three day fulfillment of Jonas Prophecy, of Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

And brings us full circle back to the customs of the First of the Firstfruits and the Wave Sheaf Offering.

The Wave Sheaf Offering we seen how there were Two
Sabbaths during the week of the crucifixion of Jesus. The Annual Sabbath and the Weekly Sabbath.

In Matthew 28:1-6 we read; In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women,

Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

the original Greek word "sabbaton" which means Sabbaths, (plural, more than one) has been rendered as singular.

And the phrase "first day of the week" has been incorrectly translated in our English versions of the Bible. From the first of Sabbaths to the first day of the week.

For the original Greek does not say first day of the week; the original Greek is "mia ton sabbaton," which means "First of Sabbaths" and pertains to the Wave
Sheaf Offering.

In Mark 16:1, we read; And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

The Sabbath that had passed on which they purchased the sweet spices to anoint Jesus, was the Annual Sabbath.

This first Sabbath occurred on the evening of the crucifixion, Mark 15:42; And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

In Luke 23:50-54 we read; And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also
himself waited for the kingdom of God.

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the
commandment.

Now, both of the Sabbath mentioned above occurred after the burial of Jesus, and are referring to the Weekly Sabbath, according to the 4th of the Ten Commandments – Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy.

According to Mark 16:1 it was "after" the Sabbath, (or when the Sabbath has passed) that they purchased the spices to anoint Jesus.

Now, if this Sabbath was the Weekly Sabbath, that would placed the day that the spices were purchased was Sunday. Which we know this is incorrect, because the women came to the tomb, early on the "Lord's day" (Sunday) and while it was still dark!

So the logical explanation is that there was Two Sabbaths during the week of the crucifixion.

The second Sabbath that week was the Weekly Sabbath i.e. Saturday.

Note that in Luke 23:56, the women who had purchased spices after the first Sabbath, returned and prepared the spices then "rested on the Sabbath." In Luke 23:56 we read; And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

I believe in the "Two Sabbaths" because the women could not purchase the spices after the Sabbath, yet prepare those spices before the Sabbath—unless there were two Sabbaths.

With the two-Sabbath view, if Christ was crucified on Thursday, then the high holy Sabbath (the Passover) would have begun Thursday at sundown and ended at Friday sundown—at the beginning of the weekly Sabbath or Saturday.

And, purchasing the spices after the first Sabbath (Passover) would have meant they purchased them on Saturday and were breaking the Sabbath.

Therefore, the only explanation that does not violate the biblical account of the women and the spices and holds to a literal understanding of Matthew 12:40, is that Christ was crucified on Wednesday.

The Sabbath that was a high day (Passover) occurred on Thursday, the women purchased spices (after that) on Friday and returned and prepared the spices on the same day. Then they rested on Saturday which was the Weekly Sabbath, then brought the spices to the tomb early Sunday.

As stated Jesus was buried near sundown on Wednesday, which began Thursday in the Jewish calendar. Using a Jewish calendar, we have the three days and three nights - Thursday night (night one), Thursday day (day one), Friday night (night two), Friday day (day two), Saturday night (night three), Saturday day (day three). “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

In Colossians 2:16; The Apostle Paul writes; 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:

Answer 9

all christians celebrate the sabboth on sunday because of christs ressurection. i dont know that its in the catechism..get one and look.

Answer 10

Here is what the Catechism has to teach on Sunday worship:

II. THE LORD'S DAY

This is the day which the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. The day of the Resurrection: the new creation

2174 Jesus rose from the dead "on the first day of the week." Because it is the "first day," the day of Christ's Resurrection recalls the first creation. Because it is the "eighth day" following the sabbath, it symbolizes the new creation ushered in by Christ's Resurrection. For Christians it has become the first of all days, the first of all feasts, the Lord's Day (he kuriake hemera, dies dominica) Sunday:

We all gather on the day of the sun, for it is the first day [after the Jewish sabbath, but also the first day] when God, separating matter from darkness, made the world; and on this same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead.
Sunday - fulfillment of the sabbath

2175 Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath which it follows chronologically every week; for Christians its ceremonial observance replaces that of the sabbath. In Christ's Passover, Sunday fulfills the spiritual truth of the Jewish sabbath and announces man's eternal rest in God. For worship under the Law prepared for the mystery of Christ, and what was done there prefigured some aspects of Christ:

Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord's Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.

2176 The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart to render to God an outward, visible, public, and regular worship "as a sign of his universal beneficence to all." Sunday worship fulfills the moral command of the Old Covenant, taking up its rhythm and spirit in the weekly celebration of the Creator and Redeemer of his people.

The Sunday Eucharist

2177 The Sunday celebration of the Lord's Day and his Eucharist is at the heart of the Church's life. "Sunday is the day on which the paschal mystery is celebrated in light of the apostolic tradition and is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the universal Church."

"Also to be observed are the day of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension of Christ, the feast of the Body and Blood of Christi, the feast of Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, the feast of Saint Joseph, the feast of the Apostles Saints Peter and Paul, and the feast of All Saints."

2178 This practice of the Christian assembly dates from the beginnings of the apostolic age. The Letter to the Hebrews reminds the faithful "not to neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but to encourage one another."

Tradition preserves the memory of an ever-timely exhortation: Come to Church early, approach the Lord, and confess your sins, repent in prayer. . . . Be present at the sacred and divine liturgy, conclude its prayer and do not leave before the dismissal. . . . We have often said: "This day is given to you for prayer and rest. This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."

2179 "A parish is a definite community of the Christian faithful established on a stable basis within a particular church; the pastoral care of the parish is entrusted to a pastor as its own shepherd under the authority of the diocesan bishop." It is the place where all the faithful can be gathered together for the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist. The parish initiates the Christian people into the ordinary expression of the liturgical life: it gathers them together in this celebration; it teaches Christ's saving doctrine; it practices the charity of the Lord in good works and brotherly love:

You cannot pray at home as at church, where there is a great multitude, where exclamations are cried out to God as from one great heart, and where there is something more: the union of minds, the accord of souls, the bond of charity, the prayers of the priests.

The Sunday obligation

2180 The precept of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: "On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass." "The precept of participating in the Mass is satisfied by assistance at a Mass which is celebrated anywhere in a Catholic rite either on the holy day or on the evening of the preceding day."

2181 The Sunday Eucharist is the foundation and confirmation of all Christian practice. For this reason the faithful are obliged to participate in the Eucharist on days of obligation, unless excused for a serious reason (for example, illness, the care of infants) or dispensed by their own pastor. Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin.

2182 Participation in the communal celebration of the Sunday Eucharist is a testimony of belonging and of being faithful to Christ and to his Church. The faithful give witness by this to their communion in faith and charity. Together they testify to God's holiness and their hope of salvation. They strengthen one another under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

2183 "If because of lack of a sacred minister or for other grave cause participation in the celebration of the Eucharist is impossible, it is specially recommended that the faithful take part in the Liturgy of the Word if it is celebrated in the parish church or in another sacred place according to the prescriptions of the diocesan bishop, or engage in prayer for an appropriate amount of time personally or in a family or, as occasion offers, in groups of families."

A day of grace and rest from work

2184 Just as God "rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done," human life has a rhythm of work and rest. The institution of the Lord's Day helps everyone enjoy adequate rest and leisure to cultivate their familial, cultural, social, and religious lives.

2185 On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord's Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body. Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest. The faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health.

The charity of truth seeks holy leisure- the necessity of charity accepts just work.

2186 Those Christians who have leisure should be mindful of their brethren who have the same needs and the same rights, yet cannot rest from work because of poverty and misery. Sunday is traditionally consecrated by Christian piety to good works and humble service of the sick, the infirm, and the elderly. Christians will also sanctify Sunday by devoting time and care to their families and relatives, often difficult to do on other days of the week. Sunday is a time for reflection, silence, cultivation of the mind, and meditation which furthers the growth of the Christian interior life.

2187 Sanctifying Sundays and holy days requires a common effort. Every Christian should avoid making unnecessary demands on others that would hinder them from observing the Lord's Day. Traditional activities (sport, restaurants, etc.), and social necessities (public services, etc.), require some people to work on Sundays, but everyone should still take care to set aside sufficient time for leisure. With temperance and charity the faithful will see to it that they avoid the excesses and violence sometimes associated with popular leisure activities. In spite of economic constraints, public authorities should ensure citizens a time intended for rest and divine worship. Employers have a similar obligation toward their employees.

2188 In respecting religious liberty and the common good of all, Christians should seek recognition of Sundays and the Church's holy days as legal holidays. They have to give everyone a public example of prayer, respect, and joy and defend their traditions as a precious contribution to the spiritual life of society. If a country's legislation or other reasons require work on Sunday, the day should nevertheless be lived as the day of our deliverance which lets us share in this "festal gathering," this "assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven."

I thought I would also include Biblical justification for Sunday worship:

Isaiah 1:13 - God begins to reveal His displeasure with the Sabbath.

Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; John 20:1,19- the Gospel writers purposely reveal Jesus' resurrection and appearances were on Sunday. This is because Sunday had now become the most important day in the life of the Church.

Acts 20:7 - this text shows the apostolic tradition of gathering together to celebrate the Eucharist on Sunday, the "first day of the week." Luke documents the principle worship was on Sunday because this was one of the departures from the Jewish form of worship.

1 Cor. 16:2 - Paul instructs the Corinthians to make contributions to the churches "on the first day of the week," which is Sunday. This is because the primary day of Christian worship is Sunday.

Col. 2:16-17 - Paul teaches that the Sabbath was only a shadow of what was fulfilled in Christ, and says "let no one pass judgment any more over a Sabbath."

2 Thess. 2:15 - we are to hold fast to apostolic tradition, whether it is oral or written. The 2,000 year-old tradition of the Church is that the apostles changed the Sabbath day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.

Heb. 4:8-9 - regarding the day of rest, if Joshua had given rest, God would not later speak of "another day," which is Sunday, the new Sabbath. Sunday is the first day of the week and the first day of the new creation brought about by our Lord's resurrection, which was on Sunday.

Heb. 7:12 - when there is a change in the priesthood, there is a change in the law as well. Because we have a new Priest and a new sacrifice, we also have a new day of worship, which is Sunday.

Rev 1:10 - John specifically points out that he witnesses the heavenly Eucharistic liturgy on Sunday, the Lord's day, the new day of rest in Christ.

Matt. 16:19; 18:18 - whatever the Church binds on earth is bound in heaven. Since the resurrection, Mass has been principally celebrated on Sunday.
