The Catholic Mirror of September 23, 1893 is a good read to those who seek to know the truth for themselves. It will expose RCC's halting on crutches of unequal size, one leg by truth supported, one by lies, thus sidle to the goal with awkward pace and leading millions to perdition.

This is their own paper so it is not some unorthodox religious fanatic and/or disgruntled element bashing the RCC. It was shared with me by one of their ex-priests who has since become a true believer when he started thinking and reasoning 'out of the box'!

"The class of texts in the NT, under the title "Sabbath," numbering 61 in the Gospels, Acts and Epistles, and the second calss, in which "the first day of the week," or Sunday, having been critically examined (the latter class numbering nine), and having been found not to afford the slightest clue to a change of will on the part of God as to His day of worship by man, ...."

The diciples kept the Sabbath, after Jesus' example, for thirty years afterwards, according to the Sacred Record. Jesus kept the Sabbath even in His death.

"We have proved neither their Biblical ancestors nor themselves have ever kept one Sabbath day in their lives. The Israelites and the Seventh-Day Adventists are witnesses of their weekly desecreation of the day named by God so repeatedly, and whilst they have ignored and condemended their teacher, the Bible, they have adopted a day kept by the Catholic Church. What Protestant can, after perusing these articles, with a clear conscience, continue to disobey the command of God, enjoining Saturday to be kept, which command his teacher, the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, records as the will of God?

"the Methodists, have declare that the Sabbath has never been abrogated, whilst the followers of the Church of England, together with her daughter, the Episcopal Church of the United Staes, are committed by the 20th Article of Religion, already quoted, to the ordinance that the church cannot lawfully ordain anything "contrary to God's word written." God's written word enjoins His worship to be on Saturday, absolutely, repeatedly, and most emphatically, with a most positive threat of death to him who disobeys. All the biblical sects occupy the same self-stultifying position which no explanation can modify, much less justify.

I say, "Iniquitas mentita est sibi."
