(Before It's News)

On Saturday July 5, Pope made a historic statement about Sunday keeping.

According to AP New, Pope Francis traveled to the heart of southern Italy where unemployment is chronically high and lamented the abandoning of the traditionally Christian practice of not working on Sundays, saying it has a negative impact on families and friendships. The pontiff indicated that opening stores and other businesses on Sundays as a way to create jobs wasn’t beneficial for society.

Francis said the priority should be “not economic but human,” and that the stress should be on families and friendships, not commercial relationships. He added: “Maybe it’s time to ask ourselves if working on Sundays is true freedom.”
He said that spending Sundays with family and friends is an “ethical choice” for faithful and non-faithful alike.
(Sounds like he believes Sunday should be kept by everyone?)
He encouraged parents to spend more time with children, quipping: “Waste time with your children!” He said he liked to ask parents, “do you play with your children?”

Reminds me of the words of Jesus, Luke 4:21 “… This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”

  • What does the Roman Catholic Church say their MARK is?

    “Of course the Catholic church claims that the change [i.e. Sabbath to Sunday] was her act, and the act as a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” — H.F. Thomas, Chancellor to Cardinal Gibbons.

    “Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” — Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.

    Revelation 13:16-17, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

    “The pontiff indicated that opening stores and other businesses on Sundays as a way to create jobs wasn’t beneficial for society.”

    Well, he’s wrong. People need to pay their bills and eat, more than they need to grovel to jealous, narcissistic, schizophrenic, genocidal fictional characters.

  • He added: “Maybe it’s time to ask ourselves if working on Sundays is true freedom.”

    Ask ourselves Francis ? What happened to ‘deny yourselves’ ?

    What happened to no other ‘gods’ before Him ?

    What happened to asking Him, the Leader, the One Shepherd ?
