A Course in Religion for Catholic High Schools and Academies, Part 1, Chief Truths Of Faith, by Rev. John Laux, M.A., Benzinger Brothers, 1936 edition.

Advanced Catechism Of Catholic Faith And Practice, based upon the Third Plenary Council Catechism for use in the higher grades of Catholic Schools, compiled by Rev. Thomas J. O'brien, inspector of Parochial Schools, Diocese of Brooklyn, published by John B. Oink, Chicago Ill., copyright 1929.

Adversus Graecorum Calumnias (“Against the Slanders of the Greeks”), Humbertus Silvae Candidae Episcopus (11th century French Cardinal Humbert of Silva Candida, 1010-1061 A.D.), Patrologia Cursus Completus, 1853, Migne J. P., Volume 143, column 937.

Topic: Cardinal Humbert quoting Pope Sylvester I (A.D. 314-335) regarding the Sabbath:

"If every Lord's day is to be observed joyfully by the Christians on account of the resurrection, then every Sabbath on account of the burial is detestably Jewish. In fact all the disciples of the Lord lamented on the Sabbath, bewailing the buried Lord, and the Jews exulted. But sadness reigned for the fasting apostles. In like manner we are sad, saddened by the burial of the Lord, and rejoice with them in the Lord’s resurrection. Neither in fact is it proper to feast [on the Sabbath] as the Jewish custom observed by the Jews."

Ex quorum numero beatissimus papa Silvester, magni Constantini Augusti spiritualis pater, inter alia dixit :  < Si omnis Dominicus dies resurrectionis gratia est colendus in gaudio Christianorum : omnis ergo sabbati dies sepulturae deputandus est in exsecratione Judaerorum. Omnis enim discipuli Domini Sabbato fletum habuerunt, sepultum Dominum suspirantes, et Judaeis exulantibus laetitia inerat. Apostolis autem jejunantibus tristitia imperabat. Tristemur itaque cum tristantibus de sepultura Domini, si volumus cum iisdem de Domini resurrectione gaudere. Neque enim fas est destructiones ciborum et caerimonias Judaeorum more Judaico observemus. >

Enchiridion. Handbüchlinn gemayner stell v(o)n Artickel, der yetz schwebenden neuwen leeren, Johannes Eck, 1530 edition in German. See pages 46 and 195-196 in the .pdf file.
Translation:

    "Concerning the Authority of the Church. — The Scripture teaches: Remember that you keep the Saturday; six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, etc. However, the church has transferred the observance from Saturday to Sunday by virtue of her own power, without Scripture, without doubt under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit."
    "Concerning Holidays and Fast-Days. — The Sabbath is commanded in various places in the Scriptures. But there is no mention of the cessation of the Sabbath and the institution of Sunday in the Gospels, or in Paul's writings, or in all the Bible; therefore this has taken place by the apostolic church instituting it without Scripture."
    "If, however, the church has had power to change the Sabbath of the Bible into Sunday and to command Sunday-keeping, why should it not have also this power concerning other days, many of which are based on the Scriptures — such as Christmas, circumcision of the heart, three kings, etc. If you omit the latter, and turn from the church to the Scriptures alone, then you must keep the Sabbath with the Jews, which has been kept from the beginning of the world." 12

“C.Ss.R.” after the name of every Redemptorist, stands for Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris, or “Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer.”

Fr. Thomas Enright, C.Ss.R., was apparently at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Kansas City, Missouri, from about 1884 to about 1900. He then transferred, for only a few years, to Most Holy Redeemer Church in Detroit, Michigan. By 1905 he had moved again, to St. Alphonsus' (Rock) Church in St. Louis, Missouri, until at least 1909.

12. Why did the Church change the Lord's Day from the Sabbath to Sunday?   

The Church, using the power of binding and loosing which Christ gave to the Pope, changed the Lord's day to Sunday because it was on Sunday (the first day of the week) that Christ rose from the dead and that the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles.

Cooperation by the Civil Authorities Regarding This Commandment: The civil authorities should be urged to cooperate with the church in maintaining and strengthening this public worship of God, and to support with their own authority the regulations set down by the Church's pastors.
    In explaining this commandment the pastor should include a discussion on how it is related to the other commandments: how it resembles them and how it differs from them. For it is only in this way that the faithful will understand why it is Sunday and not the Sabbath day that we now keep holy.

Vicarius Filii Dei was used twice by Pope Paul VI in documents found on the Vatican's web site. These are Apostolic Constitutions, which are the highest form of official Papal decree in the Roman Catholic Church and are issued with binding legal authority. In the first Paul VI applies the title to himself, in the second he applies the title in plural form to all the Bishops of Rome.  See this page for more information.

Regarding this quote:

"Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church." (Source: Priest Brady, Elizabeth, New Jersey, News, March 18th, 1903.)

The following presents a more extensive quote:

The Elisabeth News (New Jersey), of March 18, 1903, prints a sermon delivered by "Father" James H. Brady, Curate of St. Mary's Church of Elisabeth, from which we quote the following: "Right here it is necessary to remind you that the day which you observe as Catholic Christians, and in fact which all others who claim to be Christians do observe, is not the same day which is spoken of in the commandment. If you look to the Bible as an authority for the observance of the day you will not find it. It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, and all other Christians outside the pale of the mother church, that the Bible, the only authority which they recognise in matters of religion, does not support them anywhere in the observance of the Christian day, namely Sunday. The Seventh-day Baptists, and Seventh-day Adventists are the only ones who properly apply the term Sabbath, because they also observe the seventh day and not the first day of the week as the day of rest."
    "The Christian Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church, and thus indirectly acknowledge the authority of that church to legislate in the name of God in all religious matters and her superiority over the Bible."

Letter from Cardinal Gibbons' secretary, Albert Smith, dated Feb. 10, 1920:

"Be sure of it, your Seventh Day Adventist friends are telling you the truth, when they say that it was the Catholic Church which changed the day of worship from the Jewish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday. If protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath day. In keeping the Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic Church. During the first three centuries practice and tradition had consecrated the Sunday to the worship of God. In the year 300, the Council of Elvira[*] made the law a definite one."  

*[Canon 21. If anyone who lives in the city does not attend church services for three Sundays, let that person be expelled for a brief time in order to make the reproach public.]

MY MOST WANTED BOOK

The New York Catechism

Frequently quoted on the web, and cited by Loraine Boettner on page 127 of his 1962 book Roman Catholicism. Also claimed to have been quoted in an unspecified edition of the periodical The Prairie Overcomer, published by the Prairie Bible Institute, Three Hills, Alberta Canada.

It seems likely that nobody who quotes it actually has this book, as the author, publisher, date of publication, and page numbers for quotes are never provided. Here is Boettner's quote:

"The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth. By divine right, the Pope has supreme and full power in faith and morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true Vicar of Christ, the Head of the entire Church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils, the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God Himself on earth."

If anyone can provide information about The New York Catechism, or knows where I can get a copy, please  contact me.
