Why should we follow the decision of the council of Jerusalem? Because it is found in Acts? Acts was written much later than the council, so apparently in the Christian community... a council, especially an ecumenical council, establishing doctrine and morals is to apply to the whole Church. Of course, you (being a Protestant) will naturally reject the Council of Trent. I say we should discuss that particular council in depth in the Catholic side of the WMBoard.
