I really find that hard to believe. I have been military all my life, I live in Georgia in the states, I couldn't tell you where there is a catholic church. In my 20 years of active duty, I may have know only a handful of Catholics. Only in Germany on the civilian side, did I run into a bunch of them.
I have no reason to doubt it, perhaps they are all in Europe
Europe is going mainly secular, the Catholic Church has largely lost it's grip there. Most so-called Catholics in Europe use the term as a social tool, not as a religious one. In Spain, for example, only 1 in 5 people who term themselves Catholic go to Mass. In Germany it's 1 in 6. In France, it's 1 in 10. The Church is falling apart.
