Thank you all very much for your welcomes! I feel extremely welcome already and I'm very much looking forward to discussing here with you. biggrin

I'm in the East of England Anhelyna...near Cambridge. smile And the UK has a seperate drinking law as regards consumption in private, with parents and in restuarants. The minimum of the latter being 14 and the former two even lower.

...not that I have any particular reason to know in detail the drinking laws. :shiftyeyes: :p

I assure you all I have no intentions of doubting the catholicity of the Eastern Rites...I have some questions about things, many of which pertain to that, but that is in no way "here are 10 reasons why you aren't Catholic" but rather a curiosity of how things work as regards practice and faith. smile I have a great love of what I know of the Eastern Rites and am not entirely closed to the possibility of switching Rites in the future. cool

God bless you and thanks again for the great welcome!

Robbie

I'll testify to the fact that Rob doesn't "test" we of the East and that he asks sincere and polite questions biggrin , well-informed ones also. I don't recollect being anywhere near as inquisitive (or as knowledgeable) about religion as a teenager as Rob is (and Garrett as well) - of course, I can barely recollect being a teenager :rolleyes: .

Rob,

Welcome to the forum smile . Good to have you here. You'll see a few familiar faces, as I've lured several folks from TAW into being regular attendees here of late.

Many years,

Neil

Good to see you Neil, I was wondering when I'd see you. wink If anyone else here is half as patient and knowledgable as you I'm sure I'll have a great time discussing things. biggrin

God's peace,
Rob
