Now Lutheran services are far more similar to Catholic ones than in their observance of litergy and tradition. Martin Luther had disagreements with the Catholic Church but he didn't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Luther did retain the parts of the liturgy that were from scripture (the baby); however, he removed the unspeakable blasphemies of the Roman Mass (the bathwater):

Quote
We beseech Thee, O Lord, by the merits of Thy saints, whose relics are here, and of all the saints, that Thou wouldest vouchsafe to forgive me all my sins

Quote
Receive, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this spotless host, which I, Thy unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for mine own countless sins, offenses and negligences, and for all here present; as also for all faithful Christians living and dead

Quote
We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation
