I feel like a fraud

I went to Church on Sunday and something kept nagging at me. I love going to the Lutheran Church, a very good friend of mine told me about it and thought I would enjoy it because of the issues I have been having with the Catholic Church. I was raised Catholic and even though I liked going I never felt welcome there.

The first time I went to the Lutheran Church I felt welcomed right away. Everyone was happy and said good morning to me with a smile on their face. It didn't feel like they felt like they had to be there like in any Catholic Church I have been to. I met a wonderful lady and her husband and now we all sit together at Church.

The pastor even recognised that I was new the first time I was there and thanked me for coming. I get a smile from those around me every time I amt here.

I feel like a fraud because I am Catholic but I feel more connected to the Lutheran Church. There isn't any kneeling, there isn't communion every Sunday, some of the things that we say are different in mass but I am comfortable there. I feel at home.

I feel like part of me is betraying my Catholic Faith by going to the Lutheran Church. I feel at home there. Am I turning my back on my faith? I still believe in God, the Lutheran Church is the closest to the Catholic Church. I'm just happier believing and practicing my faith in a different way.

I am going to talk to my pastor about this. I feel very confused.
