If He dies on Friday He cannot be rose in Sunday, because according to bible “Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. “
It should be 3 days and 3 nights if we compute it Friday to Sunday it’s only 2 days.
Is this another erroneous ideas of the Catholic?

As I remember catholic said that he nailed on the cross at exactly 3:00 pm And He didn’t die immediately and according to the verse “three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” or under the soil it means that He need to be first under the heart of the earth before starting to count the days and nights.

Probably it is an error or mistake or wrong belief of the catholics that Jesus Christ was crucified which caused his death by Friday. It is supposed to be by Thursday to make it 3 days until Saturday and by Sunday He rose from the dead, henceforth ascended to heaven as Son of God.

Actually He rose Saturday (the Sabbath) at dusk, which makes it the first day of the week, Sunday. So back up 3 days and yes we find "good Friday" was not the day Jesus was crucified. However it doesn't affect my salvation. Friday became the traditional day, wrongly, when Jesus supposedly was crucified. Starting in Gen "the evening and the morning" were the Xth day. Jewish days run from evening till morning, so one day ends at dusk and a new day begins, in this case Sunday, It's why the sabbath candles are lit at sunset, like they were all over the world Monday evening for Passover. Trust me like Jonah He was in the tomb 3 full days. Bible says prove all things', and this can be fairly easily explained-accurately and totally.

He died before sundown on Friday. First day.
He was in the grave all day Saturday. Second day.
He rose Sunday morning. Third day.
To the Jews ANY part of a day was the same as the whole day.
Catholics merely consider the timeline the same way as the Jews did.

Suggestion; go back and see the 'definitions' for days and nights Gen. 1.
Assuming sunrise at 6:00 AM and sunset at about 6:00 PM; he was 'dead' about 39 hours; yet by scriptural definitions it was 3 nights and 3 days.(It was dark when Jesus died (eclipse?).
