Recently moved so visited a couple of churches. The small church is conservative, the large church is liberal. When I 1st got here the small church had plenty of seats, the large church had few seats available. BUT NOT NOW, the small church is packed almost standing room only. I hear the priest is considering adding more masses. The liberal church is slowly emptying, Sunday mass looks like a day-of-the-week morning mass. And where the congregation goes, so does tithe and donations.
I moved from NY State (large liberal Catholic church) which I stopped attending in 2011. I moved to NC in 2015 and began attending a small Catholic Church here in the bible belt of SE NC. I love my Catholic Church here as there are many faithful Catholics here who also do good works. And many like minded individuals attend.
Live in Florida and the Catholic Church in this is area is growing by leaps and bounds...The 8:00 Mass is getting to be like the 10:00 and 12:00 masses...Saturday Mass...Place is jammin'!!!!
Also, the Paster is a great priest...has been one for ONLY 25 years and comes from New York of all places...Great Priest...

Coincides with F. Sheen's quote.
