4.14. Isn’t the Church supposed to be visible? How can it be if there’s no pope?

Yes — the Church is always visible, but not always widely visible. The Church’s visibility consists in her public profession of the true faith, valid sacraments, and identifiable apostolic ministers — even if scattered.

Today, traditional Catholics who adhere to the pre-Vatican II Faith, offer the traditional Mass, and preserve valid orders constitute the visible remnant of the Church. Visibility does not require global recognition or media presence — only fidelity to Christ.
