What is Rome’s Mark of Authority?”
T. Enright, C.S.S.R., in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, Feb. 18, 1884.
“I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' The Catholic Church says: 'No. By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.' And lo! the entire civilized world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church.”
C. F. Thomas
October 28th, 1895 Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act… And the act is a Mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.”

New York Times 26th April 2013 Pope Francis has a few words in support of leisure “People who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.
