Quote★★★★

They [Roman Catholics] allege the Sabbath changed into Sunday, the Lord’s day, contrary to the Decalogue, as it appears; neither is there any example more boasted of than the changing of the Sabbath day. Great, say they, is the power and authority of the church, since it dispensed with one of the ten commandments.” Augsburg Confession, Art. XXVIII.

The point

Cites the Augsburg Confession admitting the church, not Scripture, changed the Sabbath to Sunday.
