#1 That was standard fare, when I grew up in KC in the 50's. Remember the 'Blue Laws" anyone?

I heartily agree with the Pope.

#3 The admonition is one day of rest. It never said 'Sunday'. The principle is a cultural ritual that recognizes as a whole one particular day. Some groups its Friday, others sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, and others its Sunday. I suspect what the Pope is advocating is what others may term, getting the family to sit down for dinner, except instead of a nuclear family, he's talking community.

#4 Blue Laws were killed by modern medical science that developed drugs that were determined to be life saving. Exemptions appeared for drug stores for Sunday access. Then it became milk and food for the baby. Then it became the classical camel, nose, tent event with drug stores becoming general stores. Then the pressure from other businessmen resenting the competition getting an extra day of customers which fueled the 'separation of church and state' argument. All of which leads us to the situation today.
