I am with Wallflower on this for sure. We are just simply not supposed to do any unnecessary shopping on Sundays. The ease of shopping online doesn't make it allowable.

That is your opinion. I have my opinion. They are equal.

I'd like to how you could prove that I'm wrong though. The Church went into Crisis (the mainstream Church, hierarchy, etc. fully conquered by the Modernists by 1970) so by the time e-commerce came out, the true voice of the Church was AWOL.

We all just have to do our best before God, using reason and common sense, until the Church is restored and she can clarify such things. When she does, I'll be the first to submit if I'm wrong.

Sometimes you just have to know when to admit that you may be wrong.

Unnecessary shopping on Sunday has always been condemned by the Church. You can't just say, "well we've been in crisis since online shopping came about so, who knows". It might not seem sinful since it is so convenient, but it is still the act of shopping technically.

How many pages are we going to accuмulate talking about "online shopping"?

Since we're good and derailed here anyhow, what I'd like to know is what are you allowed to do for the Church on Sunday?
Shopping for candles, altar wine, vestments, etc?
Cleaning the church?
Church property maint?
Or are these things only to be done during the work-week?

I would say go to church and go home. Church maintainence like mowing grass, running the sweeper, cleaning, etc. is best done during the week. I don't even do laundry on Sunday although it is hardly servile work these days. I do cook which I would rather not but I can say that about the other days too.

Sunday should be set aside for God and family and rest. Even though online shopping is not servile work it is not necessary and takes away from time better spent. I always feel guilty when something I have bid on on ebay is over on Sunday. We love to go to estate sales but will not go on Sunday even though that is the day of the best bargains (50% off). When the sellers at these sales remind us of that fact we make a point of telling them we do not shop on Sunday hoping they'll take the hint. I'm not saying any of this is sinful but that Sunday should be treated with respect in a way that sets it apart from the other days of the week.

The question is WHY is unnecessary shopping prohibited on Sunday.
Matthew's premise is that it's only prohibited because it requires others to work in order for you to shop. If that isn't the only reason it is not allowed, just show him somewhere in which it is explained that shopping on Sunday is wrong in and of itself.

You bid on something on Friday, the auction ends on Sunday, you pay for it on Monday, the seller ships it on Tuesday. Where in that process was someone not spending their Sunday time appropriately?
