The Church's nature makes her easy to find, but extrinsic factors can make her difficult to find. Plainly put, the ease with which one finds the Church has lots to do with WHERE the Church is physically/geographically. Tell the millions of American Indians at any time prior to the sixteenth century the Church is 'easy to find.' Sure, for Europeans. There are times/places in history where at least for some people, the Church is difficult to find.

If God ponders aloud rhetorically whether or not He will find Faith, I'm thinking he Faith will be REALLY hard to find.

Difficult to reconcile with the situation at His Second Coming:[...]

Since both must be true, I see only one way to reconcile the two: that for a time the Church "cannot be hid," but by the time of the "cries of the elect" and His Second Coming the Faith will be hard to find, no longer that city on a mountain.

Do you see another way of reconciling the two?

All I can say is that no one knows when the Second Coming will take place. IIRC, even St. Paul thought it may be during his lifetime? Nor am I competent to subjectively hold an opinion as to whether we are at, or even near, the Second Coming. Yeah, things are bad now, but they can--and most likely will--be much, much worse. So, as I see it, that city seated on the mountain is still there, unhidden.
