What is the difference between the roman catholic church and the ELCA church?

There are a number of differences between the two. The ELCA is Protestant, which stemmed from the Reformation and Martin Luther. Luther, a Catholic clergyman, did not agree with some of the practices of the Catholic Church, so he wrote his 95 Theses. Some of the most notable things that he disagreed with were the selling of indulgences and the concept of paying to get somebody out of purgatory. Luther believed that we are saved by grace alone, and no worldy act is good enough to equal the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made by dying for us on the cross. The ELCA does not worship saints while the Roman Catholics do, Lutheran pastors are allowed to marry, women are allowed to be pastors, and the ELCA does not restrict anyone from taking holy communion.
