Hello. I was raised catholic but do not go to church, I have my own personal relationship with God and I have never found any organized religion satisfying personally. I am considering getting married in the Lutheran church with my Lutheran fiance, so we can wed in an outdoor setting (catholics cannot wed outdoors). My extremely devote catholic mother is going to have a fit about this, but I just do not see the problem! Lutherans and Catholics worship the same God, the same Jesus Christ. The religions are so identical but yet I know my mother will look at me as if I am damned if I do not wed in the catholic church. Why is this!? Its not like Im getting married by a witch doctor or something, right!?
I just dont see the reason for the rivalry between such similar faiths... lutheran, catholic whatever, its the same god! Why is it such an issue? Make me understand!!
