Thanks for your kind offer of assistance. I actually have heard of the eastern rite Catholic Churches and I have great respect for them, as well as for the RC church. However, my husband and I have already made a firm decision in favor of the OC, though we have not yet converted. I do appreciate your generosity. One thing I have always liked about the religion threads on FR is that the Orthodox and Catholic posters (and many Protestants, to be fair) by and large treat each other with graciousness and fair-mindedness.

You're more than welcome. As I indicated, you're in very good company with regard to Orthodox posters. Their advice is almost always solid, and their observations can often lapse into the realm of the awe-inspiring.
There are certainly differences of opinion which you will see us discuss, but the religious threads by and large tend to be genteel. God Bless.
