If only I had more time, Marlin. :-) These links do not help a whole lot except to take more of my time in trying to find the answer. For example, one of the links said that it was changed at the council of Laodicea. So I look at the canons from the council of Laodicea, and following is what I find: **** CANON XVI. The Gospels are to be read on the Sabbath [i.e. Saturday], with the other Scriptures. Note: Among the Greeks the Sabbath was kept exactly as the Lord's day except so far as the cessation of work was concerned, wherefore the Council wishes that, as on Sundays, after the other lessons there should follow the Gospel. CANON XXIX. CHRISTIANS must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ. **** This council happened in 364 A.D. So at this time, Christians assembled on both Saturday and Sunday. Furthermore, they were instructed not to observe Saturday as a day of rest. Nevertheless, the Sabbath is still regarded as Saturday and the Lord's day is Sunday. So I still don't know when and how the Roman Catholics changed the Sabbath to Sunday. Is it possible that they never did? Peace be with you.
