Overview:
www.catholicmatch.com is a relationship-focused online dating site specifically aimed at Catholic singles who share traditional religious values regarding family, relationships and marriage. The website focuses heavily on these religious values as opposed to personality traits and lifestyle choices, as these are already considered to be upheld in common with other catholic members and assumes that all members of the site are seeking a heterosexual marital relationship.

Features:
www.catholicmatch.com offers all members a free profiling section which asks questions on religious lifestyle habits, education, family values and preferences to give other users a better understanding of how their faith integrates their everyday life. The website provides a temperament test which is an optional extra in providing character information but it must be stressed that most profile questions relate to faith and practices. This information is used to pull compatible matches which users can then communicate with through the catholic community forum, emails, and the live chat room or use an ice-breaker such as an 'emotigram'. Users can also design their own personal interview to ask potential partners a variety of questions. The membership terms are fairly flexible, from 3 months to 12 months and can be cancelled at any time. The site is very safe — no contact details are published, the chat room is vetted and with the option of meeting a potential match at an organized event, www.catholicmatch.com is likely to be one of the safest dating sites on the web.

Ease of Use:
www.catholicmatch.com is fairly easy to use.It has a lot of other additional information and services related to the catholic faith such as church events and other dating events to allow users to meet face to face in a pleasant and familiar setting. These worthwhile additional services are great, but it does cause the site to become quite heavy which may explain the sites' lethargy. Nonetheless, navigation is easy, with clearly labeled tabs to get from one section to another.

The Search:
The searching process can be conducted by users in a number of ways. Members can rely on the site to produce a pool of potential matches or they can conduct their own basic and advanced searches to narrow the pool further. The search results proved accurate in relation to the entered criteria and the results were clear and easy to organize based on preferences, using the favorite's tool.
