Yep. The most difficult thing for a Catholic these days is to find a Catholic church or a Catholic priest.

"Most" difficult? Maybe I'm just lucky ... I don't seem to have that much trouble. Even in mahoneyville (Los Angeles), last summer, I batted .500! The town I stayed in had three Catholic parishes ... First one I went to was early '90s architecture, didn't look Catholic, priest preached mushy-goo regarding Holy Communion (not sure if he believed in the Real Presence). So the following week I tried parish #2: late '50s architecture, looked Catholic, Mass was offered respectfully and properly, priest preached orthodox exposition of the day's Gospel. In travelling to more than a dozen different States, and many more dioceses, just over the past decade, it's been much more hit than miss with me. I generally just go to the geographically nearest Catholic Church to my hotel.

Sometimes the Traditionalists on this forum remind me of "Hee-Haw":

...
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me!
...
