How the Vatican II authorities became the abomination of desolation
Summary and Analysis of Fr. Carlos Zepeda’s Homily on the 24th Sunday after Pentecost
Fr. Carlos Zepeda delivers a powerful warning about the abomination of desolation, linking it to modern events, particularly the apostasy of Vatican II and the actions of post-conciliar “popes.” Drawing from Sacred Scripture, he argues that the Catholic Church has entered the time of great tribulation, fulfilling Christ’s prophecy in Matthew 24.
The main themes of the sermon include:
The Abomination of Desolation: Its Biblical Meaning
Abomination = Idolatry
Desolation = The cessation of the true sacrifice (Holy Mass)
Fr. Zepeda references Ezekiel 8 and Daniel 9, where God departs from the Jewish Temple due to widespread idolatry and corruption.
Application to the Post-Vatican II Church
Vatican II replaced Catholic worship with modernist innovations.
Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis have embraced false religions and led the faithful into apostasy.
The Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) has been attacked and suppressed (Traditionis Custodes).
The Assisi Meetings as Idolatry (1986, 2011)
John Paul II gathered multiple false religions at Assisi to pray together.
Benedict XVI repeated this in 2011, allowing false religions to pray separately but within the Vatican’s walls.
This fulfills Ezekiel’s prophecy about false idols being worshiped inside the Temple.
Francis and the Pachamama: The Ultimate Blasphemy
Francis approved and witnessed the worship of the Pachamama idol inside St. Peter’s Basilica.
This event solidifies the Vatican as the modern Babylon, the pagan Rome warned about in Apocalypse 17.
The Need to Flee from Modernist Rome
Fr. Zepeda urges Catholics to separate from the counterfeit, apostate Church of Rome.
He references Apocalypse 18:4:
"Go out from her, my people, that you may not be partakers in her sins."
However, true Catholics must not abandon the Church—rather, they must hold on to the true Catholic Faith, the true Sacraments, and the true Mass.
Hope for the Faithful Remnant
Christ has promised to shorten the days of tribulation for the elect (Matthew 24:22).
Catholics must go wherever the True Mass is found, even if it is a small chapel or mission hours away.
The Traditional Catholic Church will endure, even if reduced to a remnant.

Analysis
1. Vatican II as the Great Apostasy
The sermon presents Vatican II as a break from true Catholicism, leading to a New Church that is modernist and heretical.
False ecumenism, interreligious worship, and doctrinal compromise confirm that post-conciliar Rome is not the Catholic Church but a counterfeit.
2. Post-Vatican II “Popes” as False Shepherds
Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis are not true popes but modernist usurpers.
Their actions—particularly their embrace of false religions—contradict Catholic Tradition and fulfill Christ’s warning of false christs and false prophets (Matthew 24:24).
3. The Suppression of the Latin Mass as Desolation
The Mass of All Time has been attacked and restricted by the modern Vatican.
This is the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy:
"The continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up." (Daniel 12:11)
The Novus Ordo Mass is not a valid Catholic Mass, but a Protestantized, desacralized service.
4. The Need to Reject Modernist Rome
True Catholics must not follow the Vatican II Church, which is no longer Catholic but a paganized institution.
Fr. Zepeda’s words echo Apocalypse 18:4:
"Go out from her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins."
However, Catholics must still remain faithful to Catholic Tradition—not abandon the Church entirely.
5. Hope for the Faithful Remnant
Despite the Great Apostasy, God will preserve a remnant of true believers.
The Traditional Latin Mass and Sacraments will remain, even if only in small chapels or missions.
Christ has promised to shorten these days for the sake of His elect.

Final Thoughts: Fr. Zepeda’s Call to Action
Fr. Carlos Zepeda delivers a clear and urgent message:
🔴 The Vatican II Church is not the Catholic Church.

The gates of Hell shall not prevail.
