????????????????

What Commandment might be? That bit about picking up sticks or not on
Saturday may be part of the Mosaic law but...again, the Mosaic law has
been superceeded by The New Covenant.

I might add that some Sundays see me scooping out the cats litter
boxes, and thoroughly scrubbing out one or two before fillling up with
fresh litter. Why? From the booklet OUTLINES OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH
concerning the 3rd Commandment (what you had in mind?)

"Sundays are a day of rest; we should abstain from all unecessary
work." If it is necessary to five-six-pick-up-sticks, go right ahead.
We are also asked to "cultivate our familial, cultural, social, and
religious lives." THAT'S ALL. Not to be confused with the Mosaic law,
OK?

Back to litter boxes. Mother Mary most likely had to change Jesus's
diapers on the Sabbath, and maybe even wash them. So I can do the same
for my cats, right? And I'm sure St. Francis approves as well.
