IN the NEWS - Bishops call for EU to push Sunday

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: 
Exodus 20:10
 
"Synchronised free time should be a priority in the EU social-policy agenda, according to European Bishops and other organizations.
 
In a joint statement published Wedneday, on the occasion of the International Day for a work-free Sunday, the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the EU (COMECE) and the European Sunday Alliance urged political leaders in Europe to protect synchronised free time  - in most European countries traditionally on Sundays.
 
"This," they say, "is especially relevant in times where the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated existing challenges of digitalisation by intensifying work and extending working hours, thus putting a healthy work-life balance at risk for more people." VaticanNews
