Sunday Blue Laws
1888 Sunday Rest Bill
In 1888, the Senate Committee on Education & Labor proposed a bill making Sunday the National Day of Rest from work. Alonzo T. Jones argued against this law.
Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church
2188 In respecting religious liberty and the common good of all, Christians should seek recognition of Sundays and the Church's holy days as legal holidays. They have to give everyone a public example of prayer, respect, and joy and defend their traditions as a precious contribution to the spiritual life of society. If a country's legislation or other reasons require work on Sunday, the day should nevertheless be lived as the day of our deliverance which lets us share in this "festal gathering," this "assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven."
