Perhaps it has never occurred to you that the Reformation might not have been sinful? :O)

LOL! Well, if Numbers 16 is any indication, then I would say "NO". But I could also read Paul's 1st Letter to the Corinthians, and how he talks about

"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye [plural] are." 1 Cor 3:17

I would say that the Reformation defiled the Temple of God, the Body of Christ, through its divisiveness, exactly what Paul was writing to the Corinthians to beware of...

Come back home, Harley.

Is this true for the Orthodox when they walked out? Remember, both the Catholic and Orthodox leaders excommunicated the other (although they did patch up their differences many centuries later). For the Orthodox this was OK because they don't believe in purgatory, but one has to wonder if the Catholic Popes had to sit in the neather-gloom until they patch up their differences. ;O)

Come back home, Harley.

LOL!! I've never left although some will say I'm "out-to-lunch". :O)
