I have to add onto that by saying every other Catholic forum I’ve looked at is 10 times worse in that respect. So this place is actually the “best” alternative I’ve seen. 

This is my feeling as well.I’m not sure I have become more holy b/c of it.
But, I have learned from it.
For me, as I am considering becoming Catholic, the contributions of people like @Tis_Bearself have been very helpful. Don’t go!JamalChristophr:![]()
Honest answer:How has CAF played a part in your growth in Holiness?
I’m not sure it has helped me and I wonder daily whether I should continue to post here. The many negative experiences are good for my humility and teaching me patience, I guess.
I did find out about a few helpful things on here, such as Rhoda Wise’s shrine and a couple of websites with good information/ prayers. I also appreciate the small handful of people who are friendly and who have prayed for my intentions when I post in the Prayer Intentions forum.
But overall, I don’t find it a terribly supportive place for my personal faith or holiness in general.
Sounds like this board is full of people!I’ve only been here for a bit, but it has not made me a better Catholic. I’m always hoping, though.
There seem to be a lot of disagreements that verge on arguments as well as some extremist opinions.
I have received some good information, though. On the other hand, when I have asked for specific information, I am met with opinions or, though sometimes helpful, suggestions that skirt my questions.
I am patient, so I will stay and see how things develop.![]()
