If the visible society described above was the indefectible Church with four marks in 1958, it is the indefectible Church with four marks today. If it's not the indefectible Church with four marks today, it never was.
What an absurd logical nonsequitur.
Pope St. Pius V or Pope St. Pius X, had they been timewarped to the present day to behold the Bergoglian church, would not recognize it as the Catholic Church, for it lacks all the marks of the Catholic Church. They would think it to be some depraved Protestant sect. And that's how most of the faithful become Traditional Catholics. It isn't because of some deep theological analysis of Vatican II or the New Mass. It's because their
sensus Catholicus finds the pre-Vatican II Church and the Conciliar Church to be two completely different entities. God doesn't require the faithful to have advanced degrees in theology to be able to identify the Church. And that is where, as Vatican I teaches, private judgment does play a role in the assent of faith, in the preliminary assessment of whether the Church has the authority of Christ. But the faithful recognize that Bergoglio's is not the Voice of the Shepherd.
You did not answer the question of whether you are either Salza or Siscoe.
If you think that Joe Biden, Nancy Peℓσѕι, and Jorge Bergoglio are Catholics and that Traditional Catholics are not, then your Catholic sense has been thoroughly warped by your faulty core principles.
By your principles, those faithful Catholics who during the Arian crisis rejected the Arian usurpers, and the saintly bishops who went around consecrating parallel Catholic bishops to replace them, they were all outside the Church, while the Arian usurpers were in rightful possession of their sees. In fact, by your principles, had the Arians succeeded in getting one of their own onto the See of Peter, the Arians would all be inside the Church and the true orthodox Catholics outside. I hope you can start to see the absurdity of your purely legalistic view of the Church. And, yes, St. Athanasius did hold that even if the Church were reduced to a handful of faithful, there would be the Catholic Church.
By your principles, those excommunicated by Nestorius before his official removal from office by Rome would have been outside the Church, while Nestorius remained inside the Church. Ooops. Pope St. Celestine taught otherwise, that true orthodox Catholics could not be removed by Nestorius from the moment he began to preach heresy (years before he was formally removed). He was, according to the Pope, at that time in a state of "excommunicandus" and therefore suspended, in a state similar to what Father Chazal describes in his ecclesiology.
