Protestants recognizing Good Friday?

[Cepha]

Hey!

Wait a minute!

I just noticed something!

Protestants are recognizing Good Friday?

How is that?

Isn't Good Friday a "Catholic" thing?

Isn't almost everything "protestant" copying us?
We believed in Jesus first, we had hymns first, Bibles first, just about everything.
So why be surprised about Holy Days ?

The Lutheran Church right beside my Church is going to have a Latin Service this Sunday, and also Gregorian Chants. I think it's great. The more Protestants copy us, I think they will get more young people back into their churches, and also people who are "put off" by some other modern Protestant trends.

And yeah, I thought the same thing.
The more things change, the more things stay the same...
...or in this case, the more they return back to their original state.

There was this anti-Catholic Protestant pastor who'd spend his sermons talking against The Church. One day, he decided to just talk about Christianity and it's origins. In an attempt to go back to the "original" Christian Church, he whipped out his Bible and began to note how they worshiped.

By the time he set up his place of worship in the same manner as the Biblical Church worshiped, his church resembled a Catholic Church. (No surprise for those of us "in the know")

This totally challenged his faith as an anti-Catholic.

He had to step back and study, then the inevitable happened (as it always does once one is allowed to actually review Christian history on their own)...he ran into The Church Fathers and that was it; the final nail in the coffin of his anti-Catholicism.
