EWTN Catholic Q&A

Holy Days of Obligation
Question from Anon on 10-31-2011:

Hi - I know that it is not moral to perform manual labor on a Sunday. However, is it sinful to perform manual labor on holy days of obligation? Examples: November 1, December 8. Thank you for your response.

Hi Anon,

Please consult the Catechism on this point and also the moral theology forum. Please note this is not a canon law question and so without steering too far off course, I should refrain from answering it and letting those schooled in moral theology answer it. Sorry.
