We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I'm Roman Catholic because the rest of my family is. Also, I've looked at the doctrine of other Christian churches, and didn't care for any of them over the doctrine of the Catholic church. The only reason my family is Roman Catholic is because there were no Greek Orthodox (a different branch of Catholicism) churches when we moved here...

There's no restriction on prayer in the Catholic church; we're free to pray straight to God, heck, we're encouraged to. There is no 'middle-man' except when it comes to the seven Sacraments, and even then you're supposed to ignore the 'middle-man'... *shrugs* I believe in what I believe in, and I won't force it upon anyone else. But I also ask that people give me the same respect; that they not attempt to force their beliefs upon me in return. (I'm not implying anyone here has, I'm just stating something that's important to me...)
