US Catholic Bishop: Sunday is a Gift from Our Creator to Make Us

Rome is actively engaged in its mission of spreading Sunday rest by trying to persuade the entire world to adopt its teachings. Catholics are not calling for a respectful dialogue to try to understand from the Bible what day is the true Sabbath; no, Rome believes that it has the responsibility to influence society as a whole to embrace Sunday sacredness. On June 18, 2023, Roman Catholic Bishop Robert J. McClory published the following in the Northwest Indiana Catholic, the official church publication for the Diocese of Gary:

• "Every Sunday is extraordinary as a solemnity, a Holy Day of Obligation, and - significantly as summer is near - intended to be a day of rest."

• "We are always bound by our Christian vocation to fulfill the precept to participate in the Sunday Eucharist."

• "Sunday is also the Day of Rest and when we embrace that aspect of Sunday, we can experience many blessings."

• "Our Creator knows us better than we know ourselves. When we align our lives with the rhythm of life He intended for us, we will more readily fulfill his plan in our lives. The Sunday 'obligation' is really the Sunday gift from our loving Father. Embracing this time of worship orders our lives properly and builds up the Body of Christ. When the day is focused on worship of God and as a day of rest, our spirits are renewed and we are led to be happy, healthy, and holy."

Despite all the claims made by ecumenical agents that Rome is changing, nothing could be further from the truth. This is the same system that continues to say that God's law has been changed and that Sunday is the new day of rest that was given to us in order to help us sustain ourselves physically and spiritually. The fundamental question in this matter is this: Who has the authority to establish truth? God or man? The problem with apostate Christianity is that it believes that church councils and clerical bodies have the authority to establish doctrine on matters of faith. Like the majority of Christians today, Bishop Robert McClory believes and teaches that Sunday is the day of rest without ever once citing a Bible commandment in favor of observing the first day of the week.

The Bible is clear that God instituted the Sabbath by blessing the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-2) and commanded that all people keep this day holy (Exodus 20:8-11). Jesus didn't change the Sabbath. He said that until heaven and earth pass away, not one dot shall pass away from the law (Matthew 5:17, 18). Neither did the apostles change the day from Sabbath to Sunday. Paul said that faith "establishes" the law (Romans 3:31), and James said that breaking even one part of the moral law leaves a person guilty of breaking it all (James 2:10-12).

Pope Leo XIV to Ecumenical Leaders: "We Are One, Let's Make It Visible"
Ecumenism is indeed fulfilling prophecy-but not the prophecy God calls His people to advance or embrace. The world is being drawn into a single religious and political body, as revealed by Scripture: "And all the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:3). This is not a revival of godliness; it is universal apostasy-a global movement that, under the appearance of unity, peace, and love, is leading people away from Bible

Rome Stops Traffic On Ecological Sunday
Rome's "Ecological Sundays," which restrict traffic to reduce pollution, may at a first glance appear to be an environmental initiative on the surface, but they serve a deeper agenda-to condition the public to the idea of staying home and resting on Sundays. While rest is not inherently problematic, the issue lies in how this concept is being enforced-not through a voluntary means, but through civil law. By mandating Sunday rest
