My problem with this is that if you are going to argue that the Sabbath is part of the the Law we don't have to keep, what do you do with the rest of the Ten Commandments? The Sabbath is part of the Decalogue, after all.
Also, the Sabbath ties to the Creation mandate, in that God appeals to creation and His choice to rest on it.
Jesus called Himself the Lord of the Sabbath. He is not the Lord of things dead but of the living!
Paul in Hebrews says there remains a Sabbath rest, so whether you keep it on the seventh day or the first day , you are keeping the principle of a Sabbath, even if you do not keep the Sabbath on the Seventh Day!
The PCA holds to the Westminster Confession, which has this to say about Sabbath: https://thereformedmind.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/westminster-larger-catechism-questions-115-121/ (personally I disagree with the idea of no recreation see question 117, note 625)
We are not under the Law as a path to Heaven, Yet Paul who proclaims this vehemently, also says,
Romans 3 :31 We establish the Law!
Can you reconcile this?
All other commandments are in the New Testament. The only one not mentioned specifically for us is the sabbath. Remember that the sabbath was made for man to rest. So it is with the new covenant, by us coming together as the early Christians on the first day of the week…the Lords Day.
“… which was decreed by the Pope, who claimed he had that authority.”
I disagree.
Now if one wanted to argue that attending congregation on a day other than Sabbath was commendable and good, there are some decent arguments for that.
