A Response to Catholic Answers.com's response to SDA's...
"Here is how Catholics should answer the Seventh-Day Adventist who challenges us to explain why the Catholic Church changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday:
“The Church did not alter the day of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the preeminent holy day of the Jewish people and remains on the seventh day, Saturday. But Christians need not observe the Sabbath. It was the capstone of the first creation. The world began anew in Christ when he rose from the dead on the first day of the week, and that is why the Church, by the authority granted to it by Christ himself, transferred the moral obligation for communal worship and rest to Sunday.”

And he shall speak great words against the most High, ... and think to change times and laws:
Daniel 7:25
RESPONSE:
1) He admits the 7th day Sabbath is still "Saturday"
2) He misses the point that Christ rose on the "first day of the week" because even in death, He rested on the Sabbath then rose to continue His work.
3) Christ DID NOT grant authority to the Catholic Church, or any other institution, or man, to change His Holy Law (by transferring the solemnity of the 7th day to the first).
4) Clearly the Catholic apologist is "thinking" to change the Law of God, which happens to deal with "times"....the Sabbath
