WHY DID THE ROMAN CATHOLIC "CHURCH" IN THE FALL OF 1996 OFFICIALLY ENDORSE EVOLUTION? That question can be answered by the day she observes. Does she observe the seventh-day Sabbath, which is the memorial of creation? Of course not. At the council of Laodicea in the mid-360s she actually outlawed obedience to the Fourth Commandment, and executed Sabbatarians during the Dark Ages! She declares her authority apart from Scripture to switch the day of rest and worship, to the first day of the week. That is just like human nature because God said to work six days and then rest; man wants to take his rest day first and THEN work!

Lets see if we can make an ASCII graph out of it.
R = rest

As you can see they had one extra day of work which was used to switch systems. They probably didn't have the discussion on sabbath, that would be against scripture. Which would place the day of the decision in the middle week, giving people one more day of work before they got to rest.
Saying they rested before that worked is non sense because they already worked 6 days a week. If someone is anti scriptural then it is every society with a 2 day weekend instead of just one.
I like how he called the Roman Catholic Church 'she', as if being feminine is an insult.
Anyway he's 16. I'd like to see him when he's 24, getting hired by some corporation, and refusing to answer the phone, email and whatnot on Sunday. Especially if he's employed by the NFL. Way to advance on your job.
Don't you realise that most Christians do go to church on Sunday and that the Sabbath is a JEWISH CONVENTION?. Actually, the days of the week are taken from the Roman calendar. As why did the Roman Catholic Church endorsed evolution?, maybe because it's congruent and well-documented?, just a thought.
But, by your logic, if people were to worship on the 7th day, then the priests would be working on the 7th day, thereby breaking the no work on sabbath rule. If you want your priests to not be blatantly sinning in front of their entire congregation, then what's your problem here?
It takes a remarkable amount of 'dumb' not to realise that if you take a day of rest every seventh day then you are both resting after the last six days of work and before the next six.
So leftin is no different to the people he criticizes.
I'm not complaining about leftin's work, mind you, those burgers won't flip themselves!
Ok, six days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday..........and he rested the seventh day, Sunday. For me it's crystaline clear. You see, stupid teenager, depending how you count days, God can rest whenever he wants to.
Later on the site he says that there is a tight correlation between failing to observe the Sabbath and evolution. I mean, we shouldn't have chosen this quote. This guy has sprouted so much nonsense, not because he's fundy, but because he's a stupid teenager. No matter what they discuss, more often than not(even the intelligent ones), try to look smart using words they don't know what they mean, use stramen but, more frequently, trying to show connection between two things which don't have any whatsoever, but they think they have. If you add the fact that he's immature and probably homeschooled or, at least, in a private school, is logical that his critical capacity is in lows.
Actually, nowadays you can go to Mass on Saturday evenings, aswell as Sunday mornings.
The reason the Church, for the most part, the Catholic Church endorses evolution is because it doesn't adhere to Biblical literalism.
The Catholic Church doesn't endorse evolution - it ignores the question as irrelevant to the faith. It says that God creates the immortal soul. How He obtains the mortal flesh in which to put it, whether by evolution or some other process, is a matter for the scientists, not the church.

Riddles, I love riddles. Lets see.
answer: To get to the other side ?
Yet another fundie ranting about the Catholic Church. It depends on which day is the "seventh." When I learned Spanish, the days were lunes, martes,..., domingo. In French: Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi,...,Dimanche. So Sunday, domingo, Dimanche, is the Seventh day, if you start at Monday, or lunes, or Lundi.
You know, I find this particular hangup to be particularly funny because, really, does the Bible really hint at anything other than every seventh day? Hell, for all we know, thanks to calendar shifts and whatnot, the original sabbath could have been on Thursday. I don't think there's a calendar in the world that's precise enough (except possibly for the Mayans) to know for certain.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
