Sabbath actually refers to rest, not Saturday. The Old Testament is the testament of the old covenant, given through Moses. Jews began celebrating the Sabbath on Saturday, the day the old covenant was proclaimed (and the commandment to keep holy the Sabbath). The New Testament is the testament of the new covenant, which replaced the fulfilled old covenant by Jesus at the resurrection on the first day of the week (Sunday). Just as for the Jews, for Christians the 'Sabbath' (the Lord's day) came to be on the day the new covenant was invoked. Many things changed in the transition. Except for the parts maintained in the new, the rest of the old was revoked. In addition to Scripture, there are documents as early as the first century indicating worship on the Lord's Day. For more in-depth description, you can take a look at [http://www.gotquestions.org/Saturday-Sunday.html] and [http://www.catholic.com/library/Sabbath_or_Sunday.asp].
RaysWayz, the early Church was already referred to as the Catholic Church by the end of the first century as seen in the writings of Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna. It still exists today after 2000 years. Through the grace of the Holy Spirit it has survived even the "unwise, corrupt, or prone to heresy" from within, while protesters slide and divide at every changing and contradicting theology to suit individual wants and desires. Little if any of the original Protestant offshoot churches remain. [http://www.catholic.com/library/Pillar.asp]
