Catholics go by Hebraic time, so our day of rest actually begins on Saturday evening, not Sunday morning. That's why we have so many vigils.

but who moved monday to the first day of the week?

American society

no, if the sabbath, as per genesis, is the 7th day, then monday is the second day

You're right. Sabbath, or 'Sabbati,' is Saturday, and Sunday is 'Dominica,' or "The Lord's Day. Saturday is the Hebrew day of rest, but Sunday is the Christian day of worship."

if jews are on friday sunset to saturday sunset, probably that's what it is, that's how i see it

i read the first 5 books of the new testament and nothing said that it changes

That's true. They're Friday to Saturday and we're Saturday to Sunday.

The Latin Church in it's canonical language even uses the Sabbath, or 'Sabbati,' for Saturday, which is better than the Saturn's Day we have in English. Sunday is 'Dominica,' or the Lord's Day. The seven days of the week weren't changed, but even as early as before the Scriptures' writing Christians worshiped on the Lord's Day.

in Spanish that day of the week is still called Domingo

probably other Latin languages are similar but IDK
