Jesus said this in reference to the papacy, "And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it."

And then later on he said, "And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time."

There are the sedavacantists, the traditionalists.

whichever you are, I would like to know your opinion of this thought, namely that the Catholic Church as we know it is gone.. I feel it is and yet there is Matthew 16:18 which says that the Church will prevail over anything Satan throws at it.

I am confused... But I am not confused about this: Satan has virtually taken over the Catholic Church (not speaking of SSPX Churches).
It's an interesting question. Firstly the "Catholic Church as we know it" isn't necessarily the True Faith, even for Traditionalists.  I am a Trad, and I think most Trads want to make the Church into some sort of earthly paradise, or some version of that. The True Faith is a faith that despises the world and it's luxuries.

I know the Faith fairly well. I have read a lot of the Catechism, have read the Bible, some parts over and over and over (on top of hearing it at mass)

I am disillusioned. I know more bad priests than good. In fact I only know of about 2 good ones. That is TERRIBLE esp considering that I used to travel a lot and have been to more Churches than most people

When I say Satan has taken over the Church, that is NO exaggeration. I have FELT the presence of Satan in many Catholic (I mean "Catholic") Churches

 
My exact experience.
