Catched in a catch loop [message #94799]

I'm not used to CATCH - I strive to write the code robust enough to not cause errors. No I need it and seem to not understand how.

Using RESTORE with a not valid save file causes
% RESTORE: Not a valid save file:

So I try with this catch, but the error occurs even though I get the dialog With the error-message I wrote (looping until I have to crash the program).

What have I misunderstood?

CATCH, err_stat
IF err_stat NE 0 THEN BEGIN
CATCH, /CANCEL
sv=DIALOG_MESSAGE('Not valid .sav file: '+adr, /INFORMATION)
ENDIF
RESTORE, adr
