Who Changed The Sabbath To Sunday

Historical Account★★★★

Dear Sir:

Is the accusation true, that Protestants accuse you of? They say you changed the Seventh Day Sabbath to the, so-called Christian Sunday: Identical with the First Day of the week. If so, when did you make the change, and by what authority?

Yours very truly,

J. L. Day

The point

A letter to Pope Pius XII asking if the Catholic Church changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and by what authority.
