Happy Reformation day

Reformation Day is a Protestant Christian religious holiday celebrated on 31 October, alongside All Hallows' Eve (Halloween) during the triduum of Allhallowtide, in remembrance of the onset of the Reformation.

We used to have Reformation day parties when living on the farm.
-1-2 dump truck loads of hardwood bonfire
- large logs cut and stood on end around fire as seats
- Horse watering troughs filled with beer and ice
- Chili cookoff
- Bowls of candy
- Historical reenactment/reading of the 95 thesis.
- 200+ family, friends & church folk
Good times

You had me at Chilli cookoff
 
This is a centuries old Huguenot church in the SC low country north of Mt Pleasant that once served the outlying population from Charleston three hundred years ago that still celebrates special services in French. My ancestors worshiped here after having to leave France.

Not a religious man, but if there was ever something you can point to and say "that's evil" it's the church of Rome.

Having been raised a filthy papist, I can't argue that point. Of all the kids I was raised with that were Catholic, only one still attends church services of any kind & it ain't Roman.

Could you define "filthy papist" for me please?

John (practicing Catholic).

American know-nothing anti-Catholicism is an old game.

On the other hand, it's possible to make fun without being malicious or hateful.


Happy day after Reformation day, Protestants! (Also known as All Saint's Day to those still in the Church.)

??? I don't hang out there, though I do sometimes read threads here. I browse by new posts, not by forum & sometimes things pop up that I want to read. FWIW, for those that don't know me "in real life", I have a very self-deprecating sense of humor & "filthy papist" in a thread about Reformation Day being read by a predominantly Protestant population seemed an appropriate response to Brit's comment about the Catholic church. Not here for a theological debate, you do you & all that. I just happen to concur with his opinion, based on my personal experience (& a well documented history).
