That explains a lot. I haven't been practicing for many decades, but it always seemed like the church was leaving me, not that I was leaving the church.

You were right. The priest at my old St. Paschal's parish in Thousand Oaks, CA quit in 1971 after Vatican II started to implement its changes. My Maid of Honor had to find another place to have her wedding once he was gone. She left the church not long after.
I found out ten years ago from YAF that my all girls Catholic high school in that parish stopped some students from having a club with a focus outside of leftist orthodoxy.
