Ubi bene ibi patria
Sep. 9 - Pope Benedict called on Catholics to respect the Sabbath and not surrender it to "the mad rush of the modern world".

The Pontiff made his call on the last day of a trip to Austria during a Mass in Vienna's majestic St. Stephen's Cathedral.

I agree with him on this (believe it or not), but we no longer have a Sabbath Day as such. The Lord's Day is the appropo term but the concept is similar. Chic fil-A follows it and does very well financially, but few others do.

I admire Chic-fil-a for doing this. I wish that more would follow suit. Of course there are some places that HAVE to run 24/7 like power companies and hospitals, but others could close for one day a week.

Chic-fil-a is a pain about the "sunday" thing. Why is sunday so special? Why not wednesday? It would be far more useful. I already take sunday off, because I earned it. Not because it was given to me.

So now we make exceptions when it fits our convenience? It should be all or nothing. Isnt that how the sabath was gradually encroached upon in the first place and is now not observed by the huge majority of society?

you dont need 'lectricity to pray all sunday. Like I said, make the sabath on a wednesday so it can actually be a day of rest, not redundant when i'm already off. :razz:

Is this circular reasoning or a page from the department of redundancy department?
