No. I hope you are not Catholic. Hopefully you wouldn't be this ignorant of your own practice.

That is an article explaining that while there may be a service where communion is available, it uses pre-sanctified hosts that were consecrated on Holy Thursday, because Mass (the service at which the bread and wine are consecrated) does not happen on Friday.

I think that the PP is being a little overly technical and hung up on terminology. But the bottom line is that Catholics do participate in “services” on Good Friday (and they take Communion), so there is no reason why they shouldn’t have been invited to participate in the services at the Pentagon.

I am, and I took Communion on Good Friday along with every other eligible Catholic who attended Mass on that day. Communion wafers are wine are not consecrated at that Mass (they are pre-consecrated on Holy Thursday), but Communion is received. Stay in your lane, Protestant.

I am in my lane, where I care about theology.

You may have received Communion, but the Mass itself was celebrated on Thursday, as you describe.

Where? Can you provide a link to a Catholic church that held Mass on Good Friday?

Like … all of them. You have no idea what you are talking about.

mass is not celebrated on good friday. It's the only day of the year without mass. it marks the lord's passion. communion can be given but was consecrated on thursday.

but why have a good friday service at all and why make a point of saying it is for protestants? How does that serve God or country?

It can exactly be both. Both Protestants and Catholics often pray the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, and unlike Mass there is no requirement that it be led by a priest. So, a joint service would be easy.

Sending out an email that basically says "Catholics, this isn't for you" is a pretty clear signal.

Pentagon allows only Protestant, not Catholic, Good Friday service.
