Yes. I attend my wife’s church (Lutheran, LCMS) with her on Sundays and they say the creed and the Our Father. And they make the sign of the cross several times during service. This particular church, and not all churches to this ( depends on the congregation ) has communion every service. Of course, I do not partake in their communion.

In addition, I believe the LCMS prohibits non-Lutherans and even Lutherans of other denominations not in pulpit and altar fellowship from partaking in LCMS communion.

What was the particular Protestant faith you were raised in? It sounds like a very strict Evangelical Baptist type community.
 
Only lcms Lutheran Church of Canada, American Association of Lutheran churches or full members of the International Lutheran Council may partake in the close communion.

Oddly enough, before I became Catholic, I attended an LCMS church. They had people sign this wave before Divine Service saying they believed in the Real Presence. Even I, an un-baptized person, could have partaken in communion had I signed that paper. I admit, though, the people I sat next to could have been wrong.

Ditto, 15 years of marriage (and counting) and 3 fantastic kids. Only issue we have is that it seems many in parish leadership hold the same view about Catholic/non-Catholic marriage so I’m not the most welcome there. Kinda sounds like my wife is deciding to switch parishes this upcoming year.
 
I have read your stories before. I applaud you for still trying.

All the best!

as the Our Father.

I have never heard of a Protestant who was against the Lord’s Prayer, and have prayed it aloud with three different denominations, including Baptist…

…until now. Holy smokes.

Agreed. I have been to Baptist funerals in which there is for all intents and purposes a LITURGY, including the collective praying of the Lord’s Prayer and reciting the 23rd Psalm. Also, in the US South, its common to sing the Lord’s Prayer at funerals.

That must be a relatively new thing - I’ve never heard that. I have family in NC, VA, SC, and TN.

But I’m from North Carolina, which most people don’t consider “Southern” until I open my mouth. We’re just backwards (until they want to go to school there). 😆😆😆😆😆😆

The sign of the cross we got lectured on by the vicar as disrespectful when I was in school so I don’t do that.

I wonder if your vicar ever read Luther’s Small Catechism? Unless and until he changed his views to conform with Lutheran practice, I hope he was never certified for ordination.

The liturgy of the Eucharist where the one time sacrifice of Jesus Christ is present on the altar and where the bread and wine is consecrated that the transubstantiation occurs and Christs body and Blood is present on the altar.

We can quarrel over that until we’re blue in the face and the cows come home and neither will budge. Since this is CAF I’ll settle for saying we disagree, and I’ll go get another mug of coffee.

The Holy Mass is a sacrifice. It is the once-and-for-all, timeless bloody sacrifice of Christ on the Cross re-presented. But, liturgical sacrifice has two elements; the bloody sacrifice of the victim, i.e. Christ on the Cross, and the unbloody sacrifice of the fruits of the victim, i.e. the living Body and Blood of Christ perpetually offered to the Father, hence the altar of sacrifice. The Mass is a memorial rite of Our Lord’s death.

But, the Mass is even more than that. The whole Life of Christ, His birth, His miracles, His words, His death, His resurrection and ascension are made present to us. As baptized brothers and sisters of Christ, we get the divine privilege to share and participate in the Life of Christ, but especially in His suffering and death and resurrection. There is nothing greater than the Holy Mass

I agree with that and would love a cup of that Joe!
