Can you back up your claim that Sunday is a Roman Catholic Institution?

Answer: Yes, we can. Here are some of the claims of the Roman Catholic Church in this regard:

“Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principle… From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.” –The Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August, 1900. 

“Answer – Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her: she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day of the week, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.” – Stephan Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism, page 176.
