AMERICA MAGAZINE - May 24 - Online dating is not new. Match.com, one of
the largest dating sites, was launched in 1995. Catholics joined the
action in 1997 with the site
CatholicSingles.com. Today it is one of three major Internet sites
about holy union, including AveMariaSingles.com and CatholicMatch.com. CatholicMatch.com began in 1999 as St.Raphael.net. Most of the
required information is like what you are asked on a first date or what
is revealed on a Facebook profile—until you arrive at the Catholic
faith/doctrine section. There users confront seven topics: Eucharist,
contraception, sanctity of life, papal infallibility, premarital sex,
Immaculate Conception and holy orders. Brian Barcaro, one of the founders of CatholicMatch.com, said that
the seven faith questions are difficult and often controversial by
design, but that asking these questions is critical to a successful
Catholic relationship. FULL ARTICLE @ AMERICA MAGAZINE
