					<description><![CDATA[The term &#039;&#039;Eucharist&#039;&#039; is being used by the Roman Catholic Church when partaking the bread  and wine which symbolizes the body of Christ. It&#039;s point worthy to note that the transubstiation is the doctrine taught in the Catholic church which the believers are deceived that the priest is capable of transforming to change the body of Christ into bread and wine. But the scriptures teaches otherwise,in the I Corinthians 5:7 Paul says; for we have a passover lamb that has been sacrificed. Therefore let&#039;s keep the festival not with old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread with sincererity and truth. The term Eucharist was used by  Justin Martyr in A.D 155, that&#039;s when the Eucharist began to be celebrated. On the day of the sun, all those who live in the cities or in the fields gather in the same place. When the prayer is finished bread , wine water, are brought. We all meet on the first day   the day of the (SUN) on the day which God transformed the darkness and matter to create the world and because Jesus Christ the saviour rose  from the dead on that day.

So, the Eucharist and Sunday worship are the most ordinances in the Roman Church. So, when the Sunday law wil be implemented it will be compulsory for every Christian to attend the mass and partake the Eucharist. The cathechism of the Catholic Church speaking of the early christians quotes Acts 2:42. They devoted themselves to the Apostles teaching and fellowship to the breaking of bread and  prayers day by day attending the temple together and breaking bread in theirhomes they partook  of food  with glad  and generous hearts. The early christian martyrs could not have observed the first day of the week, this is because they had learned the obligation of the fourth commandment  in regard about the sabbath. That&#039;s why Rome thoroght the centuries has continued to hate any sect of christians that observes the seventh day sabbath.

Historical records show that the Roman Catholic Church did persecute sabbath keepers, particularly during the dark ages. Rome saw sabbath  observance as heresy and challenge to it&#039;s authority.  The Waldenses  a christian sect that arose in the 12 th century were known to observe  the sabbath and were susequently persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. Other groups that faced persecution were Cathari and Petrobrussians. The Church of Rome viewed these groups as threat to it&#039;s power and authority and they sought to eliminate them through persecution and violence. Other groups who faced persecution were Albingenses, and many others. Overall, the historical records shows Roman Catholic Church persecute sabbath keepers , and that  this persecution was significant of church&#039;s efforts to maintain power and it&#039;s great authority.]]></description>
