"The new Italian government will introduce a ban on Sunday shopping in large commercial centres before the end of the year as it seeks to defend family traditions, Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio said on Sunday. In a bid to spur economic growth, the then Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti liberalised Sunday trading in 2012, despite pressure from the Roman Catholic Church and unions who said the country needed to keep its traditional day of rest ... Earlier this year, Poland restricted Sunday shopping as the conservative government in Warsaw pushed ahead with what it said was a return to Roman Catholic values."

And that is exactly what this is - "a return to ROMAN CATHOLIC values." It has nothing to do with God, as our Creator has only ever blessed and set aside one day for rest and holy use, and that is the 7th day of the week (our Saturday), NOT Sunday. The keeping of Sunday is a Pagan tradition that was adopted by the Roman Catholic Church back in it's early days, which enabled the Pagans to enter the church also, without having to change their beliefs. And the enforced Sunday law was prophesied to happen in Revelation 13, where we are told that the mark of the beast (the mark of Papal Rome) would be enforced upon the world.
"Of course the change (from Sabbath to Sunday) was her act .... and the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters." (signed by H.F.Thomas, Chancellor for Cardinal Gibbons, in a letter dated Nov. 11, 1895)
"Not the Creator of Universe, in Genesis 2:1-3, but the Catholic Church can claim the honor of having granted man a pause to his work every seven days." (S. C. Mosna, Storia della Domenica, 1969, pp. 366-367)
The Roman Church boasts about her changing the Sabbath to Sunday, and this is in fulfillment of the antichrist 'little horn' power of Daniel 7, which would "think to change times and laws". The only time our Creator has blessed is the 7th day Sabbath. But that 'mother of harlots', the Roman Catholic Church thinks she sits in place of God and can do what she likes. But as Revelation 17 and 18 reveals, her destruction is coming one day soon. Which is why God is calling His people OUT of Babylon. Not just out of the Roman Catholic Church, but also out of all the fallen Protestant churches who are now uniting with Rome!
"To secure popularity and patronage, legislators will yield to the demand for Sunday laws. But those who fear God, cannot accept an institution that violates a precept of the Decalogue. On this battlefield will be fought the last great conflict in the controversy between truth and error. And we are not left in doubt as to the issue. Today, as in the days of Esther and Mordecai, the Lord will vindicate His truth and His people." (E.White, Conflict and Courage, p.245)
