I'm gonna defend you here

My Catholic faith was on the severe wane 20 years ago when we moved to the Savannah area and my wife got me to go to Mass, and the priest was dynamic. Father Michael Kavanaugh (now at St. Peter the Apostle in Savannah...take in one of his masses if you're here) is 100% responsible for my renewed interest and attendance.

Also there's Father John Hays at St. Anne in Ridge Manor, Florida, whose homily style is that of a fiery Baptist preacher. Highly recommend taking in one of his Masses, too.
