Converts to the Faith like Tschugguel (a former Lutheran) are a breath of fresh air, for the simple reason that they know exactly why they're Catholic. (And they're usually better educated in the Faith than many who were born into it.)
That is a given...
But, let me tell you that I got my faith REVITALIZED by living in the Middle East. It's a long, dull story, but the bottom line: THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR GOD.
Now I live that aphorism: Mass six days a week.
I watch EWTN regularly and he is often a guest on the show.
