"For All the Saints" is one of my favorite hymns which I just learned since becoming a Catholic. It is beautiful!I didn't realize that was a Catholic hymn! I'm almost positive I remember looking through a Catholic hymnal years ago and seeing songs in it that were written by Martin Luther. Is my memory correct? Have you ever seen Protestant hymns in your hymn book?

There are Protestant hymns in our hymnal, including some by John Wesley. We don't seem to sing them very often, though, since our priest is fonder of the 70's hymns which were written by Catholics (probably because he knows them). LOL.

Martin Luther WAS a Catholic priest. So NO to your question. Love us or hate us, you all left us, not the other way around.

If it hasn't been stated yet, "For All the Saints" is Anglican in origin (Ralph Vaughn Williams, British composer, wrote the second tune and it first appeared in the English Hymnal), and used in both Protestant and Catholic traditions.
