To repeat Fr Reto Nay:

Gloria.tv is funded solely by contributions made by tradition loving Catholics who love and use it. There are no advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies and no bishop council string pullers trying to control what is said. Gloria.tv is self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoys the freedom to speak plainly in the support of the Catholic faith. How often do you come here? How many posts & links do you read? How often do you make comments or post articles or pictures? I cannot understand how it is that so many on this site do not contribute financially, ever. Gloria.tv has promised to make substantive changes to make the site even better but there is a cost to these improvements. Make a donation. You will feel better and can continue to enjoy this website without guilt. Even if you give only $10.00, it's something, it helps.

From information released by Gloria.tv we know that 100,000 video views are generated each day and that there are 4 million unique uses each month. Another important piece of information released by the Gloria.tv administration is that “the lion's share of the work is done through us without salaries.”
How many of us would do the work involved is such a huge undertaking as Gloria.tv without having a salary? I wouldn't do it and I don't. However, I can empathize with those individuals who do and if I can assist them, I will.

I posted the above statistics so that all members and viewers would have a clear idea of how few of those who participate in Gloria.tv either by posting comments, videos, pictures etc actually help in keeping the website successful. That is why it is especially true now, with the new improvements that have been mentioned and the additional experiences which will be incurred, that each one of us contributes financially whatever we are able to contribute.

Dr Bobus,
I hope it happens. The populist 'Trump Effect' has legs even in Europe. Countries, starting with Britain and now Italy, are tired of the distinguished fruits and nuts in Brussels dictating to them how to best promote homosexuality and how to destroy their countries by the wholesale admission of 3rd world barbarians to terrorize its citizens.

The answer is to get rid of the EU and the politicians who support it starting with that shrew chancellor of Germany with the repugnant hair style.

@Holy Cannoli

Everything after , is Cents. Everything before the comma is Euro.

So 5,00 Euro is about 5 Dollar.
50,50 Euro is 50 Dollar and 50 Cents.

Thanks for your quick reply.

So, if I write the number 50 as in this example before the ,00, that would mean I am donating approximately $50 USD or its equivalent in Euros. Or, if I write the number 5 before the ,00, that would indicate approximately a $5 donation. Is this correct?

@Holy Cannoli

Thank you very much for hinting to this problem. I've corresponded with GoFundme on the matter. It is not possible to create a campaign in Dollars with a bank account in Europe.

Check here: www.google.ie/search

The 'Go Fund Me' page is not clear to American donors.

This is not clear.

If I insert the number “5” before the double “,OO” in the above link, does it mean I am donating $5 dollars or does it mean I am donating “$500” dollars? Further, If I insert the number "50" before the ",00" does this mean I am donating "$50" dollars to Gloria.tv or does it mean I am donating "$5000"?

Please clarify.
