Why does the majority of Christianity worship on Sunday?

"Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles... From beginning to end of scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first."

- Catholic Press (Sydney, Australia, Aug. 1900)

"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Sabbath to Sunday] was her act. And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters."

- C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons
