So, am I committing a mortal sin by leaving the Roman church for the Lutheran church? I experience Christ in the Eucharist here, even when given by a female pastor. I don't feel I have left the Church--I have simply moved to a part of the Church which has been able to follow the Holy Spirit in terms of women's ordination, priestly marriage,  and homosexual relationships without facing the human obstacles in the Roman church. I can trust women to make decisions about their pregnancy, and I can trust couples to determine how to express their love.

When the Augsburg Confession was written in 1530, it was fully within the teaching of the undivided Church. Why should I believe the Council of Trent was a valid council? Why was Trent right and Augsburg wrong?
