Although it's assumed/inferred in the article that the author is talking about the Roman Catholic Church, the word "catholic" also means and includes all Christians. In that sense, I'm a Catholic, too. Just a FYI.

Why am I Catholic?

Well, to be honest, Catholic women are better.

Yep, starting with the Virgin Mary and following on to my mom...and hopefully a wife one day.

Many are attracted to the Faith because of another's life of Holiness.

Hmmm, I wonder how many converts came from being more than merely sexually attracted to a spiritual mate? I'll be the Angels keep count...using Rosary beads, of course.
