Vatican works to stop Sunday shopping in Italy

In yet one more development to establish Sunday sacredness, the Roman Catholic Church, trade unions and small business associations have joined forces in a bid to save Sundays.
           Clearly the call for honoring Sunday is being presented to the  masses  as  a  time  of  rest  from  the  stresses  and  bustle  of everyday life. However, the ultimate objective of the prime mover behind the Sunday movement, the church of Rome, is more dogmatic.
          Hence, we read these revealing words in Dies Domini, the late Pope John Paul II call for universally legislated Sunday sacredness: “When, through the centuries, she has made laws concerning Sunday rest, the Church has had in mind above all the work of servants and workers,  certainly  not  because  this  work  was  any  less  worthy when compared to the spiritual requirements of Sunday observance, but rather because it needed greater regulation to lighten its burden and thus enable everyone to keep the Lord's Day holy. In this matter, my predecessor Pope Leo XIII in his Encyclical  Rerum  Novarum  spoke  of  Sunday  rest  as  a  worker's right which the State must guarantee" (Dies Domini, Section 66).
           All this, of course, is contrary to God's word.  more informations

The Pope of Rome  is not only calling for Sunday sacredness, his mark of authority in religious matters; but has vowed to have it universally enacted and enforced.
