First of all, over the last few weeks, I am very grateful for what the web site AskACatholic has provided for me. Everyone at AskACatholic is so knowledgeable.
At first, when I heard about the web site, my immediate thought was that it was going to be a hoax, but as I looked through the responses, I realized I was wrong in thinking so because of how educated the answers were. I am really grateful for the service you offer and I thank you so much.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Thank you again so very much for your time and consideration.

Thank you very much for all your replies.
I hope I get this right. It means a lot to have all of my questions answered and not simply the ones about my sexuality.

August 2011 from Sydney:
Thanks for all your help.
I never originally intended for you guys to give me such long answers, so I didn't read most of the e-mails you sent me.
I don't believe in God; I am irreligious; but I still wanted answers and you gave them to me, literally.
Sydney
January 2012 from Confused:
I have volunteered to help teach Catechism classes. I figure one way to beat these heresies and scandals is to teach the young the truth, just like you do through your web site!

Not so much a suggestion as a big loud THANK YOU!
Thank you for the magnificent job you all are doing with this web site. You all have such tremendous insight and faith.

April 2013 from Atte von Wright:
Dear all,
As an introduction, I am a conservative Finnish Lutheran.
Thank you for the answers. I must say I felt relieved, when I read John's response.
Living in a country where you can count the number of Roman Catholics with your fingers and toes, there is seldom a possibility to ask these types of questions directly, and I do not have any idea what the understanding is of an average Catholic on these doctrinal fine points, whether they are from Germany, the Philippines, or Brazil.
Atte
April 2013 from Thomas Houselin:
Thank you, Eric.
Your help is appreciated.

April 2013 from Timothy:
I have been coming to this web site for a few days now, and I cannot seem to stay off. I am was born and raised Catholic and still am one. I appreciate what this web site has to offer and am very much interested in becoming more knowledgable of my faith. I know my basics but I want to further my education and understanding of my faith.
I'm young, only 20, but I have a lot of friends who are not Catholic, and have tried to persuade me to join their faith. I have stood firm, but want to do a better job at defending my faith without getting upset.
July 2013 from Cody:
Thanks again.
You guys are awesome and have helped me quite a bit.
July 2013 from Ember Lobo:
Though I am a staunch Roman Catholic there is always, in the time-frame given to each one of us, a need for spiritual growth which then becomes in our Christ-like walk and talk. Reading articles Holy Quotes on your site is so inspiring, and at times does rectify my short-sightedness of being the privileged Catholic.
Your site has thus helped me to grow positively and merciful to others — as I realize we are beacons in this world. Thanks for your site and keep on the fight of faith (like Paul). Wish you all strength and perseverance.
November 2013 from Brad Madalinski:
I really like your site and how many references you make to scriptures and the Early Church Fathers. Thank you for all the work you do.
It makes it easier for me when I teach my Faith Formation classes since I talk about the Early Church Fathers quite a bit.
Thank you and may God continue to bless your work.
January 2014 from Lisa Shen:
I just came to your website for the first time today (via Google ) and I am very impressed and blessed by the quality and thoroughness of the answers. I just wanted to say thanks.
I have been to other Catholic websites before but yours strikes me as having some of the most well researched, helpful, thoughtful, clear, informed, and accurate answers.
Blessings, and thanks again,
Lisa
February 2014 from Cindy:
Hello.
I stumbled on to your web site and want to thank you all for such a wonderful service that you provide. Sometimes, its much easier to write out a question, rather than facing someone face to face.
I have a very embarrassing question, and don't feel comfortable asking my parish priest.
March 2014 from Dan Wesseln:
Thank you gentlemen for the time you took to respond. My original question has been answered.
You must have a passion for Christ to do this work.

Greg
December 2014 from Douglas:
Dear AskACatholic Team,
I have received clarity on what the Catholic Church believes about the thousand year Reign of Christ and while I do not believe it is the present rule of Christ during the Church Age, John has given me clarity about what he and the R.C. Church believes.
Though we don't agree, I'm grateful for our interaction.
Thank you!
Doug
February 2015 from Caleb:
Wow!
Your response has shown me that (at least some) Catholics do have the truth, and a relationship with Jesus!

I want to thank all in your group for all you do! It's SO nice to know of other people who are passionate about the faith and who try to show it to people and bring people to the truth and beauty of it.
I think the Church is so awesome that I feel really blessed and thankful to be part of it and wish that for others. People like you can make this happen!
Yeah! and, we surely need to get people to pray for the Souls in Purgatory. I want to cry for the Protestants who at funerals are said to be happy with the Lord now in Heaven. They are on my list!
God bless you and your work. Thank you!
