Leo Trese in his book "The Faith Explained" -- commentary on the Baltimore Catechism after Vatican II -
The Faith Explained (an RC commentary on the Baltimore catechism post Vatican ii) states on Page 242 that
====================begin short summary
changing the Lord's day to Sunday was in the power of the church since "in the gospels ..Jesus confers upon his church the power to make laws in his name".
page 243
"Nothing is said in the bible about the change of the Lord's day From Saturday to Sunday. We know of the change only from the tradition of the Church - a fact handed down to us...that is why we find so illogical the attitude of many Non-Catholics, who say that they will believe nothing unless they can find it in the bible and Yet will continue to keep Sunday as the Lord's day on the say-so of the Catholic church"
====================================== begin expanded quote
. (from "The Faith Explained" page 243
"we know that in the O.T it was the seventh day of the week - the Sabbath day - which was observed as the Lord's day. that was the law as God gave it...remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.. the early Christian church determined as the Lord's day the first day of the week. That the church had the right to make such a law is evident...
The reason for changing the Lord's day from Saturday to Sunday lies in the fact that to the Christian church the first day of the week had been made double holy...
nothing is said in the bible about the change of the Lord's day from Saturday to Sunday..that is why we find so illogical the attitude of many non-Catholic who say they will believe nothing unless they can find it in the bible and yet will continue to keep Sunday as the Lord's day on the say-so of the Catholic church
================================================
And how does the Bible define the "Solemnity" - the blessed, sanctified and binding obligation of the Sabbath -- in actual scripture.
Gen 2
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. 2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
Ex 20: 8, 11
8 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
So how is that the Law of God is up for "edit" for change? For taking one of the Commandments - and "repointing it" so that now "another day" is blessed, sanctified, and made holy??

My sources in this case are -- the Bible and the Papal-imprimatur-approved -- "The faith Explained"
I know why some Catholics would say that about the Bible -- but why do you say it also about your own RCC commentary on the Baltimore Catechism?
LOL its so funny you got a COMMENTARY of a minor catechism and want to wave it as official teaching.
You don't understand those sources. You have to start with the catechism of the catholic church.

If you don't pull a teaching from here, then its probably not a catholic teaching at all.
Its that simple, and you don't want it be.
The bible says:
46“These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
The "CLEAR WORD" SDA BIBLE SAYS:
I have no choice but to end your lives, because in my kingdom everyone cares about everyone else.’”
Which of the above is true?
