In the past, people had family dinners and bbqs on Sunday's afteR Church.
In the past........ people had families,
........families, not just individuals within them, were Catholic
........the families went to Church together, or,
........took turns going to one of the multiple Masses offered on Sunday to do infant care or other charitable necessities,
.........cooked at home, and knew how to do so,
.........could walk to Church, sometimes had a choice of several Catholic Churches,
..........had Sundays off unless they were in law enforcement or medicine,
..........had community, social, and national support for honoring God on Sunday
Now, many people are solo-Catholics who travel long distances for Mass and Sacraments, they don't know how to cook and survive on take-out, pre-prepared meals or restaurants, don't have time to relax after Church because they need to get behind the wheel of their car to be home at an hour that will give them a bit of sleep before they need to be at work on Monday morning. No Catholics in the US have the support of national law to set Sunday aside for God. Everything is the direct opposite.
