CatholicMatch.com Omdömen 47

It’s a dead end, waste of time. Also expensive.
Was on it for years and never went on a date.
The men never respond to your likes or messages. I had one conversation with one person who had obviously lied about his age. He asked me what year it was….
Don’t bother.

Why did you charged my credit card for $95.39 without my authorization today February 27, 2026? I called & left voicemail message. I sent an email & I was told that my email will be answered within 2 days. Being today is Friday does it mean I have to wait until Tuesday?This is a serious matter charging ones credit card without member's authorization & membership still active for the next 3 months. It will be greatly appreciated if you can investigate this matter & if you can stop charges on my credit card & not wait 2 days. I didn't agree for automatic renewal. It's a shame for a Catholic website doing this taking advantage & scamming the elderly.

I feel this review is warranted. I met and married my husband on Catholic Match, and after my success, I convinced my brother to join. What he encountered shocked me — I didn't believe him at first, so I went on the app in his place to see for myself. I am now writing this for all the men experiencing the same frustrations. Let me be clear: it is them, not you.
The Dead Profile Problem
There are far too many dead profiles. Women leave them active without deleting them, creating the false impression they're engaged on the platform when they're not. Catholic Match also has an age filter that allows women and men to block contact from anyone more than 10 years older. I've noticed countless women in their mid to early thirties doing this.
Ladies, Some Hard Truths
Not every Catholic marriage includes children, and there is nothing wrong with that. Marriage is a sacrament — it is complete in itself. But if children are what you want, then you need to stop pretending that time is on your side.
Stop overvaluing yourself. You're on a dating app because you're not married yet, and 40 is around the corner. You should be willing and ready to speak with and safely meet as many compatible men as possible. Here's the reality: men can marry and have children much later in life because they don't face the same fertility timeline — and that timeline is yours, not his. The claim that older men cause problems is widely circulated but unsupported — both biblical and scientific evidence shows that healthy children are born across all ages. What is not random is that your fertility has an expiration date and his does not.
A man of 45 or 50 who has never been divorced is not old — he is rare. He has lived with integrity, built something real, and carries the kind of stability and character that younger men are still working toward. That is not a consolation prize. That is a catch. The more established, mature man is not your backup plan — he may be your best one.
Your Behavior Is the Problem
Stop ghosting men like common decency is beneath you. When someone likes or messages you, show interest. Reply. Ask questions. Acting like you're doing him a favor by responding is laughable. Many of these men are giving you the chance and may not even find you that attractive to begin with — especially when you post unflattering photos where you look like you haven't showered and are wearing ill-fitting clothes.
Your Expectations Are Unrealistic
Don't ask a man to go on a mission with you. Are you looking for a husband or a priest? Don't ask a man to adopt with you before you've even met. Who are you to demand such major life decisions upfront? Don't dictate what you want or where you want to live. A confident, decisive man doesn't take direction from a woman he hasn't even married yet. You should be 100% ready to relocate anywhere and take a risk. No risk, no reward, and no husband.
Marriage requires stability, commitment, and building a home together — not a perpetual vacation. If eating takeout alone while collecting passport stamps is your idea of a full life, own it. Just don't pretend you're ready for the sacrifice that marriage actually demands.
Rejecting a man because his hairline isn't full enough? If you're that image-obsessed, get on Tinder instead. And if you claim you can't pay for a Catholic Match subscription while spending freely on yoga, drinks, and manicures — your priorities are completely backward.
You're on the Wrong Platform
If you don't agree with the Church's teaching — get off Catholic Match. Men are here because they hated the secular sites and want someone who shares their Catholic values. Those values are not a menu you pick and choose from to suit your lifestyle. If you're only on Catholic Match as just another dating option, you are not wanted here. Go back to Tinder where you belong.
Why You're Still Single
I now understand why so many of you remain on dating apps for years: you don't know how to navigate the process, you're bringing terrible habits into it, and you're acting like you have all the time in the world. You don't. You're lucky if you meet one good man, and that window is short.
I met my husband in two months, and I've been happily married to the most incredible man for five years. I put in the effort. I was intelligent enough to see past my own ego.
Final Reality Check
Telling a Catholic man who wants children and a stay-at-home wife that you don't enjoy cooking is asinine. Go take a cooking class. You expect him to cook for you? You think he has to play pickleball with you and share all your hobbies? He doesn't have to have anything in common with you except being a wonderful provider.
Grow up or grow old alone.

I would say that 50% of men do not agree with the Catholic teachings/dogma on sex before marriage and contraception. They should not be on the site. They are on there because they don't want a used and been around woman. The app should do a better job of filtering who does not agree with the Church's teaching and guide them towards another app. I hope it's not about the $ that they allow people to actually disagree on contraception and sex before marriage.

Just cannot believe the diishonesty of this website & they are suppose to be Catholic ??????

I paid 30 bucks for one month....I thought. It was a blankedy blank Subcription and had an automatic RENEWAL after one month. I just threw away money as I cancelled the "Premium membership" after one day as I feared this SO CALLED Catholic Christian Company....screw them.

Folks don' fall for paying for one month as they will steal your money with AUTOMATIC RENEWALS which they don't tell up front when paying for one month. Thanks.

CatholicMatch feels like a ghost town. Most of the men on the platform are completely passive or simply not active at all. The biggest issue is the lack of a basic “last active” feature, so you never know if you’re looking at an active user or someone who abandoned their account months ago.

The experience feels outdated, slow, and honestly quite frustrating. Other dating apps are much more active, responsive, and transparent. I’m glad I didn’t spend money here, because the platform seriously needs improvement before it can be considered useful.

Was targeted by many scammers. Very age discriminatory. Lacks so many basic features that other sites have.

Discriminatory!!
The site deletes profiles whenever it wants and gives you feedback that you can never use the site again because you didn’t pass security checks, but they’re really doing is picking and choosing who they allow to be on the site based on personal preference race, etc. they call themselves a Christian dating site yet they discriminate against people. This is not godly and hopefully people will realize that it’s not an app to be participating in. I’ve notified my church as well as the archdiocese of Lafayette and Indianapolis.

useless website. even like someone profile should pay! Limited people interact! you can't see when the last online.

Company fails to provide even basic vetting of profiles. Using Google reverse imaging 20-30% of new profiles are fake. 'Matches' that are real profiles are not individuals that meet requested criteria. Weird profiles questions provide limited insite into what the individual likes as activities.

Avoid at all cost. My suspicion is this so called dating site us a scam as well as some of the women who join. The Ratings for CatholicMatch.com are less than 2. I will ask for my hard earned cash back. I was looking for a local friend who might be Catholic. Instead I received phone calls from 3 women who wanted cash. A usual online phishing site. Fortunately I didn't give them one penny. This site could be a North Korean located site. It's a Valentines Day Massacer. A masquerade to put you from as much cash as they can. Ill sue them if they don't respond and contact the FBI. Tom

This site has poor matching features. You can't communicate with people who are older or younger, which seems quite hypocritical. Overall, it's very disappointing

I am really disappointed with this app. I have had a paid subscription since 12/24. But I also subscribed 2 years ago so there has been a break. But I am surprised to find the same men that were on this site 2 years ago. My main issue here is the lack of response and initiative by the men. The site does offer courses/classes on various subjects that could help with the dating experience in general, but they are offered very late at night (EST) and also require a premium subscription. I am not sure how many profiles are legitimate and the lack of interaction is really a problem.

If the site is Sydney based, payment should be in AUSTRALIAN dollars not American. It’s nothing more than a money grab so don’t waste time. !,

How can they improve? Let's start by being honest.
They are owned by Match. That in itself would have been a warning for me. Beware! Look out!
Match has me on a bad guy list because I once submitted a dispute thru my credit card for their automatic renewal policy without my consent. I subscribed for one year, not for a lifetime.

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.

Trash site. I think they actively hate Catholic marriage and are trying to prevent people connecting. Issues: Most people are on free accounts, so can't message you, can't see likes, can't do anything. However there is no distinguisher so you can tell free vs. paid accounts. So you will inevitably waste your precious time and emotional energy messaging dead free accounts that can't even see that you tried to contact them. And if someone WRITES that they have a free account in their bio, well, that's against the rules!
VPNs are also banned, so they hate your privacy, too.
Massive moneymaking scam with no Catholic ethos, at all.

What can I say about Catholic match. Frankly, I will be as quick as possible as they do not deserve a 5 star. Why?
For a Christian dating site, many inactive and possible fake accounts. Having messed well over 150 women, having a reply rate of 1-2%. Has the feminist mentality infected the female catholic mindset?, Are we not all here to find a WIFE or HUSBAND to death do us part.

The app functionality is poor.
-Search capability needs improvement.
-As a premium member I can't see when user last active. I do not want to message someone who hasn't logged in, in 2+ months etc.
-Can't clear message history.
-Can't deleted a sent message.
-Can't unsend a recent message.
-All messages are being read by Catholic match, rather to just responding to issues when they arise.
-Can't delete all photo's, keeps one locked in.
-As a paying member, i can't know if they read my messages, they can't decide this not me.
-Not much added features as a premium member
-As a non paying member, if you like and someone likes you, you can't see the message for 10 days, who wants to wait 10 days?
- The app functionality is pretty poor and they make the free version so that it is unusable till you pay for a membership.
- Can't do speed dates, they have a feature that never works.
-They need massive improvements.

Don't take my word for it. Sign up and see.
What really is annoying is that all profiles who haven't logged in for 1 month or more should be known to everyone. Too many inactive profiles.

Hi, I ’ve tried reaching out multiple times regarding an issue with my account and have not received a response. My account was supposed to be deleted, but it is still blocked. Could you please assist me in resolving this as soon as possible? Thank you. Esme.

Worst experience ever for a dating site. False advertising and jerks at customer service. Avoid these fakes.
