origin. Why do Protestants accept the Scriptures as inspired?

Why do they honor the first day of

the week instead of the seventh? Why do they baptize children? Contrary to their principles,
they must look outside the Bible to the voice of tradition, which is not human, but divine,
because guaranteed by the divine, infallible witness of the Catholic Church.” Bertrand Conway,
The Question Box Answers (New York: The Columbus Press, 1910), pp. 75, 76

“Now the Scriptures alone do not contain all the truths which a Christian is bound to believe,
nor do they explicitly enjoin all the duties which he is obliged to practice. Not to mention other
examples, is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from
unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our
sacred duties? You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single
line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of
Saturday, a day which we [Catholics] never sanctify.” James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our
Fathers (Baltimore: James Murphy Company, 110th edition revised and enlarged) p. 80

“Nothing is said in the Bible about the change of the Lord’s day from Saturday to Sunday. We
know of the change only from the tradition of the Church—a fact handed down to us from the
earliest times by the living voice of the Church. That is why we find so illogical the attitude of
many non-Catholics, who say that they will believe nothing unless they can find it in the Bible
and yet will continue to keep Sunday as the Lord’s day on the say-so of the Catholic Church.”
Rev. Leo J. Trese and John J. Castletot, S. S., Salvation History and the Commandments (1963
edition), p. 294

“The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue
of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday. We say by virtue of her divine
mission, because he who called himself the ‘Lord of the Sabbath,’ endowed her with his own
power to teach, ‘he that heareth you, heareth me;’ commanded all who believe in him to hear
her under penalty of being placed with the ‘heathen and publican;’ and promised to be with her
to the end of the world. She holds her charter as teacher from him—a charter as infallible as
perpetual. The Protestant world at its birth [in the Reformation of the sixteenth century] found
the Christian Sabbath too strongly entrenched to run counter to its existence; it was therefore
placed under the necessity of acquiescing in the arrangement, thus implying the church’s right
to change the day, for over three hundred years. The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this day,
the acknowledged offspring [interesting in the light of Ellen White’s remark that the Sunday is
the child of the papacy—Counsels to the Church, p. 317; GC 54] of the Catholic Church as
spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world.” The
Catholic Mirror (Baltimore, September 23, 1893)

“Q. (a) The Bible says ‘The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord,’ and we read in your
literature that it is the only Bible Sabbath there is. Will you please explain how the Sunday
observance originated? (b) Do you think the Seventh Day Adventists keep the right day?

A. If you follow the Bible alone there can be no question that you are obliged to keep Saturday
holy, since that is the day especially prescribed by Almighty God to be kept holy to the Lord. In
