text: " “During the old law, Saturday was the day sanctified; but the church, instructed by Jesus Christ, and directed by the Spirit of God, has substituted Sunday for Saturday; so now we sanctify the first, not the seventh day. Sunday means, and now is, the day of the Lord.”
  As the sign of the authority of the Catholic Church, papist writers cite, “the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of ... because by keeping Sunday strictly they acknowledge the church's power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin.” [“Abridgment of Christian Doctrine.”]
  
  So, they affirm the changed the day, but by the authority of Christ who instructed them to do so.
  
  Let's not accuse Rome of something they don't claim. They do not claim to have changed the day by their own self imposed authority which is how some present it. Let's make sure we know what we oppose and why and not misrepresent the facts of what they claim.
