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.
I'm in the East of England Anhelyna...near Cambridge.

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.

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.
God bless you and thanks again for the great welcome!
