CatholicMatch

As just about every other review has described, the people who run this site are unfathomably extreme COMPLETE JERKS who do the EXACT OPPOSITE of Christ's teachings. It is mind-blowing how anyone can claim to represent Christianity, while obstinately completely rejecting how Christ said to treat others. No matter how respectfully you treat everyone on the site, if you're on there long enough you WILL eventually be banned for life, with no explanation for why, with no recourse, no discussion, no empathy, no compassion – they will treat you extremely coldly, as if you're just a number, and as if you're a bad person – but with no explanation why. If you ask them to have compassion and work with you, ask for an explanation, ask to talk it out, they will simply reply that they're "concluding this correspondence" and then ignore any further pleas for assistance, compassion, empathy. They are not Christians – they wholeheartedly reject how Jesus said to treat others. And they will do this to YOU if you're on there long enough. I even sent them a HAND-WRITTEN LETTER respectfully pleading with them to show some mercy and compassion, explaining that I didn't know what I did wrong but I would avoid doing it again if they told me what it is. No response. They continued to ignored my emails. Please don't give them your money. They need to learn the hard way that "the customer is always right". They give Catholics a bad name. Especially the customer assistance employee Mariette Rintoul. Look her up on the Catholic Match Facebook page. She's the personification of the term "Karen". A cold, pompous, self-righteous jerk who believes the world revolves around her and she can "play God" with people's lives, on a whim. She puts on the trappings of Christianity, while entirely rejecting the social teachings of Christ. A hypocrite. A mockery of Christianity. Do not give this vile organization your money. There are many other dating sites and apps that are full of Catholics, and are not run by hypocritical jerks.

With 100% certainty, the mission of this organization has nothing to do with the Catholic faith, unless perhaps to attack it. Genevieve, the customer service person that runs Catholic Match appears to be one of these young and sadly perverse "Latin Mass-ers" who loves to attack and divide Christ's Church. I don't believe she got the memo about loving God AND loving each other, which are inseparable. She takes joy in attacking people of faith through her "anti-Catholic Match" organization, which is consistent with the new young Latin Mass cult that also attacks and works overtime to divide the Church.

I highly recommend you try AveMariaSingles instead (Christian Latin Mass-ers welcome, obviously). It has an active, growing and differentiated user base of Catholic people. And you can sign up for a lifetime membership for about the same price. It's worth it. Prayers to God.

They blocked me just because i'm from the middle east. When I contact them they said our security team decide that and there is no discussion or a way to change the decision.
I asked for the reason and they said no reason other than the security team decision, I have emails conversation that proof what i'm saying here so you can see how this site works.
Like any other sites, I mentioned my origin in my profile but haven't get blocked.
Pay attention when you subscribe with CatholicMatch, they can blocked you for their reason(security team).
I wonder who are the members there, maybe they are plenty of fraud members too.

They give no real service. A very few genuine women profiles are entirely outnumbered by con artists. Moderators and support team do nothing about it. I met my Christian girlfriend on J7Love.com
- it's a very valuable and worthwhile site, highly rated in Europe and North America. My experience with it was absolutely positive and I'm so grateful to them. I'm very happy with my girlfriend. She totally changed my life. I wake up and go to bed happy every day.
Don't get stuck on sites like CatholicMatch - they don't work. Many of them were created for screwing people out of their money by all possible means. CatholicMatch is one of such sites. They have plenty of fake profiles and they don't even bother to attract genuine ladies.

Owners are scum of the earth. Call the Churches and get Catholic Match ads REMOVED from Sunday bulletins. Hit them where it hurts--their pocket books. Because they most obviously do not care about you, me or anyone else. Horrible people. Horrible organization. Shameful. Evil. Pagans.

Only a small fraction of Catholic match profiles are current. The site updates the age of the person but nothing else. I just joined the second time ( the first was nine years ago). Within my geographic area, I recognize several profiles with the exact photos from nearly a decade ago. Failing to pay, discontinuing your search. Etc. Does not remove your profile. Catholic Match has eliminated all the forensic methods (like sorting by recent activity) in order to hide the aged profiles.
I'd estimate that twenty percent of new profiles are spam. Also, when I typed in search parameters I would get a set of profiles, yet those same parameters would yield very different results the following day. The site administrators are blatantly dishonest and are running a "bait and switch" scheme.

I found my guy friend's profile, so I texted him. His account had expired 8 years ago and they never inactivated it. I sent likes to dozens of men, and few replies, probably because they were inactive files. I'm an attractive, thin, professional, high-income woman with no kids. On other apps I've gotten dozens of likes. So I know it's not me. I only got on CM because I want to marry in my faith. Looks like I have no choice but to look outside of my faith. I'm very disappointed at the lack of ethics of CM. They should only display active profiles. Don't waste your time and money.

It's rare to find full body photos of ladies on Catholic Match. Height-weight data is also discouraged by the system. This and the control system which corals customers into what management considers acceptable Catholic age pens makes this site insufferable.

Some people have found their spouse through this service. That's because of pure luck. I haven't even gotten one interested response. Guys here are flakes. I send them a message and they don't even have the guts to at least give me a courtesy response. Thus, finding love here is impossible. When I was able to talk with some guys they ghosted me. I wasted $50 on this site and am never coming back. The people here are awful.

I have sincerely tried Catholic Match online "dating" site for years. I am a Teacher so teaching is definitely not the best profession to meet a man. Therefore, when I first signed up for C.M. I was so hopeful that this would be a wonderful way to meet a Catholic gentlemen. However, I have never actually met anyone from this site. I am so disappointed at how impossible it is to meet a Catholic man. After MANY years of holding on to hope and remaining positive I finally realized I really am not going to meet someone on Catholic Match and have therefore let my membership expire.

Messaged over 15 ladies. One or two responded. Then never heard again. I started just making up comments to see if anyone would respond. I know they weren't read because it was an ongoing conversation. Don't waste your time. Go to the regular dating apps on phone. More action in one day than on CM in 6 weeks.

It was shocking that a moderator was basically threatening to sue me when I was calling out someone who appeared to be a scammer. The place is infested. My impression was they have a lot of scammers on there and they probably keep the place busy, so Catholicmatch lets them stay. While there are success stories, buyer beware! Apparently, the owners are not Catholic. In my experience they are a real shabby business and I would caution anyone who uses them. TONS OF SCAMMERS.

I tried to get into Catholicmatch, and I was told my account was locked for suspicious behavior by a friend who was also on catholicmatch. Just what suspicious behavior did I do. My photo was removed from the "available men". I want a refund for the time I had left on this account. I have been chatting with the person for several months until we both decided to call each other directly. That was over a month ago. The person I chatted with was shocked that your company did this to me. Are you that suspicious. We were chatting on Catholic match since last June. She gave me her number only to talk to each other only since September! I know other members do the same thing after a few times with each other. N o one explained why my account was locked.I would never recommend this site to anyone. Interesting that noone mentioned I would get a refund for the time I lost.

Catholic Match is good but one area is misleading to me and should be reworded. You are asked if you agree with the Catholic churches teaching on sex before marriage and contraception. When you answer these questions "Yes"; people who review your profile see a checkmark before sex before marriage and contraception. To me this indicates I am okay with it and it is just wrong.

It's very obvious many people feel hurt and NOT treated with dignity by the behavior of this company. And the problem is Catholic Match is the only game in town for single Catholic people to meet online (the company has essentially defeated/eliminated all of its competition). I am writing letters to Bishops (starting with the Bishop of Pittsburgh and other nearby Diocese b/c that is where Catholic Match is headquartered), and explaining the pain this company is causing for many individuals--and I am asking them to please pray for all of the people that have been hurt, mocked and "excommunicated" by Catholic Match. Catholic Match is now the single gatekeeper for single Catholic people to meet and interact online, and the uncaring and divisive behavior of the company is so very hurtful to so many people. Please remember the power of prayer people.

I purchased an annual membership, used it for less than a month and requested a refund. I contacted customer service and they said they would switch my membership to a monthly one and give me the difference of one month only which makes no sense. Most men here are NOT practicing Catholics, you realize that when you start talking and they come up with rude, and disrespectful comments. Lastly, their conversations do not even match their profiles. Do not waste your time and money, save yourself the disappointment.

When every other person you are "matched" with has the same history ~ job, background, status, you know something is fishy. I feel really bad for the people who are "real" on the site, b/c the scammers are giving it a bad reputation.

My Advice: don't sign up!

I joined CM before Christmas 2019 and, chose 1 Month ONLY subscription. Fearing to be charged in the future without my authorization, I made sure there was nothing indicating auto renew. Unfortunately CM charged $29.99 from my debit card, and now they said that I selected the auto renew option. I have said a thousand times that I did not and, if it was selected it was by default in a hidden way difficult for the user to visualize. They replied to my first e-mails, but are ignoring the last ones. I am posting here with the hope they will refund my money.

As a practicing Catholic, I would rate it as bad to terrible. Will leave and try others.
1. Lots of Scammers. Many profiles are inactive, not real or someone trying to scam you. A lot of premium (paying) Members complain about this inside.
2. Moderators allow personal attacks and leave racist comments, meanwhile if you as a reply write against current political left pet policies (i. E. teaching CRT), your comments will be erased. Worse censoring than other media in my experience. The Moderators themselves don't understand the rules, one even posted possible interpretations of them, so they apply to what they agree. Keep in mind the sort of person that would be in this job screening.
3. The site apparently has a contract with its users whereby they can see any and all your communications. Their contract establishes arbitration in Pennsylvania and these guys seem comfortable that no one is going to sue them for the stuff that goes on inside there.
