The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (Peter Geiermann, 1957) specifically states on page 50:
"Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
"Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea, transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."
Cle...arly, keeping holy God's seventh-day Sabbath (observed from Friday sunset until Saturday sunset) has been replaced by Sunday worship in mainstream Christianity. Indeed Catholic writings confirm the basis for this substitution being the belief that the Church had the authority to overrule the very words of God. But by what authority? To quote the same source:
"Answer: The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plenitude of divine power that Jesus Christ bestowed upon her" (ibid.).
Later, Protestant groups split away from the Catholic Church, but they mostly followed Rome's lead in accepting Sunday.
