The Eastern Orthodox Church would disagree that Sunday worship was invented by the Roman Catholic Church. Worship on Sunday goes back to the beginning.
We're not obeying a Catholic doctrine. We're obeying the Lord, who told us through Scripture that we shouldn't forsake assembling together, that only those weak in faith are worried about special holy days, and to let no one judge us in regard to a sabbath.
Absolutely. And no one had to tell the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian Church of the East to worship on Sunday. Indeed, the Armenian Orthodox Church, which is the oldest national church in the world, is also unique in that they only have the Eucharist on Sunday or certain major feast days, like Epiphany-Christmas (following in the ancient custom, they celebrate both at the same time). The Armemian laity dont really attend the Divine Office on other days; that is something mainly reserved for Armenian monks.
