Should I change from being a Roman Catholic to Lutheran/ Protestant?
It seems to me that you don’t need either the Catholic Church or the Lutheran Church. It looks as if you are busy deciding for yourself which doctrines and practices to keep and which ones to discard. You are the “pope” of your very own “marion o: Church. Sure, not having celibacy and allowing woman priests might seem reasonable – but it’s only reasonable according to human Wisdom. What’s human wisdom compared to God’s wisdom. I don’t have a Bible on my at the moment but the Book of Pslams has a lot to say about the comparison of man’s wisdom compared to God. “Man’s wisdom is but foolish to God” and something else that goes like, “The foolishness of God is Wisdom to man.” The point is, God knows better than we do and, the Truth is, sometimes we’re not going to understand everything God is asking us to do, or not depending on the case.

I read about and explored the foundations of Christianity before reverting back to Catholicism. In order for me to be a Catholic, I had to leave the Church and learn for myself what I was never taught.

I am sure many people have had this experience. I never recommend blindly following a religion just because you were raised in it.
