Catholic Catechism Blunt on Sabbath Question

Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 336) [other sources say 364] transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
Peter Gehermann, The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine p. 50

But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God:
Exodus 20:10
