4,5,6) Does the Catholic Church have a visible pope? Yes

So your answer to 5): "I believe that the visible Roman Catholic Church under its visible pope is as described by the author of the original O.P." is Yes?

Then you disagree with Edd Tide who rejects the current pope (and has refused to tell us who the last valid pope was), while concurring with the author of the OP who, as linked to, states that the visible Catholic church has,

"lost all credibility in the public mind." In which "A large portion of our hierarchy has been screwing men. They’ve created a network of gay buddies, and they protect each other and promote each other. If investigators get too close to exposing their shenanigans, they could potentially get killed off by henchmen in a mafia run by sodomites." "We have a pope with close ties to the sodomite network who denounces investigators as detractors." "We can’t even go to confession with the confidence that we’ll be properly absolved. The authority of the priests has been taken hostage, and the world and most Catholics cannot understand this." "they’ve captured the dioceses by violence, and you are on the outside. They have the buildings, but you have the Apostolic Faith. They got those buildings, but they are outside the Faith." - http://forge-and-anvil.com/2019/02/24/stay-sane-during-the-sex-synod/

To which could be added the rather liberal products of your magisterium (which includes the NABRE with many of its required notes, and "Muslims worship the true God with us" heresy, among other things TradCaths reject), besides the distinctive Catholic teachings that are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed

When you get your visible one true holy church straightened out then you can tell us to leave our conservative "ecclesia communities" and join your church, in which your brethren include even prohomosexual, proabortion public figures, since your church manifestly typically considers them to be members in life and in death.

Till then, as the author of the article states ,

And now? It’s near impossible to get anyone to even consider the Church’s legitimacy.
