Pope Francis Discourages Working on Sundays

If your job has you working on Sunday, the world leader of the Roman Catholic Church says maybe that's not a good thing.

"A work-free Sunday — with the exception of necessary services — says that our priority is not to economics, but the human being, gratuity, non-commercial relations, rather family and friends, for believers it means a relationship with God and with the community," Pope Francis told a massive crowd in Molise, Italy, on July 5, according to Vatican Radio. "Perhaps it is time to ask whether it is a true freedom to work on Sundays."
