THE anti-Christ

The Gospel for the 24th and Last Sunday after Pentecost is taken from the 24th chapter, verses 15 through 35, of the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew, which begins, in verse 15, with Christ telling His Apostles, as a prophecy to all the Catholic Faithful:

 “When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.”

What is this “abomination of desolation”?

In citing something out of context, sometimes much is lost.  It is therefore helpful in understanding this term to consider the context.  For your convenience, here is the context:

1    And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away.  And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2    And he answering, said to them:  Do you see all these things?  Amen I  say to you there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.
3    And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying:  Tell us when shall these things be?  and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world?
4    And Jesus answering, said to them:  Take heed that no man seduce you:
5    For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ:  and they will seduce many.
6    And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars.  See that ye be not troubled.  For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7    For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places:
8    Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9    Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death:  and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
10   And then shall many be scandalized:  and shall betray one another:  and shall hate one another.
11   And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many.
12   And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.
13   But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
14   And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come.
15   When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place:  he that readeth let him understand.
16   Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:
17   And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18   And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat.
19   And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.
20   But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath.
21   For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.
22   And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved:   but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
23   Then if any man shall say to you:  Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him.
24   For there shall arise false Christ’s and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
25   Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
26   If therefore they shall say to you:  Behold he is in the desert, go ye not out:  Behold he is in the closets, believe it not.
27   For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west:  so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
28   Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.
29   And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:
30   And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:  and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn:  and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.
31   And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice:  and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.
32   And from the fig tree learn a parable:  When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.
33   So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.
34   Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
35   Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
36   But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.

Many years could be spent trying to explain these few verses of chapter 24 of the Gospel of Saint Matthew because Christ herein combines a number of different things from vastly different time periods, including, but not limited to:

1) The total destruction of the city of Jerusalem and of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

2) The prophecy of Daniel the prophet about the “abomination of desolation”.

3) False Christ’s shall seduce many Catholics and others.

4) False prophets shall seduce many Catholics and others.

5) Reference to the anti-Christ.

6) The reign of terror of the anti-Christ.

7) The victory of Christ over the anti-Christ.

8) The final coming of Christ - the parousia - at the end of the world.

9) Only God knows exactly when the end of the world will be.

What follows is only a brief explanation of each point.

1) The total destruction of the city of Jerusalem and of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

The Roman General Titus Flavius Vespasianus, a.k.a. Titus [b. at Rome, Italy on Friday, December 30, 39 A.D. - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday, September 13, 81 A.D.], Pagan Roman Emperor [Saturday, June 24, 79 A.D. - Saturday, September 13, 81 A.D.], who was a member of the Flavian Dynasty, totally destroyed the city of Jerusalem, including the Jewish Temple there, on Sunday, September 7, 70 A.D.

2) The prophecy of Daniel the prophet about the “abomination of desolation”.

There are actually two prophecies of Daniel the prophet about the “abomination of desolation”.

“And in the half of the week the Victim and the Sacrifice shall fail:  and there shall be in the Temple the Abomination of desolation:  and the Desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end”  (Daniel 9:27).

You get additional data about the “Sacrifice” from the second prophecy about this:

“And they shall defile the Sanctuary of Strength, and shall take away the Continual Sacrifice, and they shall place there the Abomination unto desolation” (Daniel  11:31).

More additional data about the “Continual Sacrifice” is found in yet another place:

“For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, My Name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice, and there is offered to My Name a Clean Oblation: for My Name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts.” (Malachias 1:11)

The first key to correctly understanding these three prophecies is the term “Continual Sacrifice”.  Exactly what is the “Continual Sacrifice”?

First of all, the Jews did NOT have a “Continual Sacrifice”.  Why?

At the time of Christ, all Jewish sacrifices were done on the altar of sacrifice which sat in front of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.  The sacrifices which were offered were animal sacrifices in which each animal was killed.  These were bloody sacrifices performed by the Jewish Priesthood according to the details one finds about the Jewish Priesthood in various places in the Old Testament, i.e. the Old Covenant of Blood.  Incense was frequently used, not only as a symbol of these sacrifices being offered to God, but also to somewhat mitigate the pungent stench of the huge quantities of blood, etc. as the direct result of these animal sacrifices.

However, these sacrifices  in front of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem were not the “Continual Sacrifice” since they only took place during daylight time.  The Jews did not have any blood sacrifices after dark.  From this, it is self-evident that the “Continual Sacrifice” of Daniel  11:31 refers to a different sacrifice - it refers to a sacrifice which is continual - it is the proverbial 24/7, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

What kind of sacrifice fits this definition?

A sacrifice on which the sun never set! Only one sacrifice fits this definition - the sacrifice prophecized in Malachias 1:11 - which is not only the “Continual Sacrifice” on which the sun never sets, but, besides being the “Continual Sacrifice”, it is also the “Clean Oblation”.  The word “oblation” is, liturgically speaking, a “sacrifice”.

But there is more!  This Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice would be offered throughout the entire world: “in EVERY PLACE there is Sacrifice”, i.e. throughout the entire world - every place around the world (described with the poetic license of “from the rising of the sun even to the going down” [Malachias 1:11] which is a poetic way of saying “the sun never sets”) - there is “offered to My Name a Clean Oblation”, i.e. there is offered to God the Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice.

There is one other important point.  This Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice which is offered to God around the world every hour, for twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, is NOT done by the Jewish Priesthood, but rather by the “Gentiles” (Malachias 1:11) because “My Name is great among the Gentiles.... for My Name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts” (Malachias 1:11)!

This is more than sufficient proof that these prophecies prophecize about a Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice which is offered to God around the world every hour, on the hour, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, by the Gentiles!

What exactly fits this definition?

Before Synod Vatican 2 [Thursday, October 11, 1962 - Wednesday, December 8, 1965], Catholic Bishops and Priests around the world offered the unbloody Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Liturgical Rite of the Ancient Mass as a clean oblation to Almighty God thanks to the continual missionary activities of heroic Catholic Missionary Bishops and Priests who obeyed, just as the Apostles obeyed, their Divine Commission, as the Scriptures relate:

 18   And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying:  All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
 19   Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
 20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you (Matthew 28:18-20).

This is why, for example, the Apostle Saint Paul, reminds Bishop Timothy that he must be faithful to his Offices of a Priest and a Bishop in the Catholic Church:

“But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, FULFIL THY MINISTRY. Be sober” (2 Timothy 4:5; emphasis added).

All Catholic Prelates and Priests must fulfill their ministry by preaching, teaching, and all of their  other work in all things, including offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The history of the Catholic Church bears continual and constant testimony that her Prelates and Priests have, from the days of the Apostles, gone forth into the world to teach all nations, i.e. to teach everyone the beautiful Truths about the Sacred Mysteries of the Holy Catholic Faith.  This is why, before Synod Vatican 2, Catholic Bishops and Priests around the world, by their offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, perfectly fulfilled the prophecy of Malachias 1:11.

Nowhere  else are the Old Testament prophecies about the Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice which is offered to God around the world every hour, on the hour, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, by the Gentiles fulfilled!

These prophecies are not fulfilled by the Jews because Malachias 1:11 specifically mentions ONLY the Gentiles, NOT the Jews!

These prophecies are not fulfilled by the Gentile Pagans, by whatever names they are known, because no Gentile Pagan cult has ever had a Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice which is offered to the one and only True God around the world every hour, on the hour, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week!

These prophecies are not fulfilled by the Gentile Protestants, by whatever names they are known, because Gentile Protestant organizations (the first ones of which were instituted by ex-Catholic Bishops, ex-Catholic Diocesan Priests, and ex-Catholic Religious Order Priests (e.g. the ex-Augustinian monk, Father Martin Luther, O.S.A.) never kept unchanged, in terms of its ontological essence and its metaphysical essence, both of which were perfectly instituted by Jesus Christ at the First Mass on that first Holy Thursday evening AFTER He completed the Jewish Seder supper, the Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice which is offered to God around the world every hour, on the hour, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week - known today as the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Liturgical Rite of the Ancient Mass.

Finally, these prophecies concerning the Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice, i.e. the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Liturgical Rite of Mass, are likewise NOT fulfilled by the Vatican 2 church because they deliberately changed what Christ Himself instituted beginning even before Synod Vatican 2. In short, they reverted back to the Protestant Memorial Supper Meal “masses” of the 16th Century, of which the following is a brief example of an early Lutheran service, as given by the great Jesuit scholar, Hartmann Grisar:

“One who entered the parish church at Wittenburg after Luther’s ‘victory’ discovered that the same vestments were used for divine service as before, and heard the same old Latin hymns.  The host was elevated and exhibited at the consecration.  In the eyes of the people it was the same Mass as before, despite the fact that Luther omitted all the prayers which represented the sacred function of the Sacrifice.  The people were intentionally kept in the dark on this point.  ‘We cannot draw the common people away from the Sacrament, and it will probably be thus until the Gospel is well understood,’ said Luther. ‘The rite of celebration of the Mass,’ he explained, is a ‘purely external thing,’ and he said further that ‘the damnable words referring to the Sacrifice could be omitted all the more readily, since the ordinary Christian would not notice the omission and hence there was no danger of scandal.” (Hartmann Grisar, S.J., LUTHER, translated by E.M. Lamond, edited by Luigi Cappadelta, London: 1914-1915, 6 volumes? Or from Hartmann Grisar, S.J., Martin Luther: His Life and Work, Adapted from 2nd German edition by Frank J. Eble, Westminster, Maryland, The Newman Press, 1955, 609 pp.).

One should not be surprised at this, because Luther himself said of the Catholic Mass:

“No man can make the papists believe that the private mass is the greatest blaspheming of God, and the highest idolatry upon earth, an abomination the like to which has never been in Christendom since the time of the Apostles; for they are blinded and hardened therein, so that their understanding and knowledge of God, and of all divine matters, is perverted and erroneous. They hold that to be the most upright and greatest service of God, which, in truth, is the greatest and most abominable idolatry. And again, they hold that for idolatry which, in truth, is the upright and most acceptable service of God, the acknowledging Christ, and believing in him. But we that truly believe in Christ, and are of his mind, we, God be praised, know and judge all things; but are judged of no human creature” (Ex-Roman Catholic Priest, Father Martin Luther, O.S.A., [b. at Eisleben, Germany on Saturday, November 10, 1483 - d. at Eisleben, Germany on Monday, February 18, 1546], TABLE TALK, Of Idolatry, CLXXI [# 171]; emphasis added).

Perhaps Luther himself fulfilled this prophecy of the Apocalypse:

 “And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star [Father Martin Luther according to some exegetics] fell from heaven [the Church], burning as it were a torch [the flames of heresy], and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters:  And the name of the star is called Wormwood.  And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter [i.e. poisoned]” (Apocalypse 8:10-11).

In the Apocalypse, “the rivers” herein refer to the Seven Sacraments which flowed from the side of Christ hanging on the Cross and the “fountains of waters” herein refer to the source of the Graces of the Seven Sacraments, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

In other words, the Vatican 2 Concilium, headed by Annibale Bugnini, C.M. [b. at Civitella de Lego, Italy 1912 - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday,  July 3, 1982],  which included six active Protestants  (Dr. George, Canon Jasper, Dr. Shephard, Dr. Konneth, Dr. Smith, and Brother Max Thurian from the World Council of Churches, the Church of England, the Lutheran Church, and the Protestant Community of Taize), which made up The Novus Ordo Missæ, a.k.a. the New Mass, a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Rite (NOR) for Pope Paul 6, which is nothing more than an updated amalgamated version of the various 16th Century Protestant Memorial Supper Meals - which are in no way a SACRIFICE, and which, by official definition, is NOT a sacrifice:

“The Lord’s Supper is the assembly or gathering together of the people of God, with a priest presiding, to celebrate the memorial of the lord.  [12]”  (THE GENERAL INSTRUCTION AND THE NEW ORDER OF MASS, ICEL-International Committee on English in the Liturgy-Sacred Congregation of Rites Decree, April 6, 1969, Benno Walter Cardinal Gut [b. ?  - d. at Rome, Italy on December 8, 1970], Prefect of the S.R.C., President of the Consilium, Chapter II, # 7.)

By the way, in the above definition, the term “the memorial of the Lord” is ambiguous and equivocal in the extreme!  What EXACTLY does “the memorial of the Lord” really mean?

For example, it could mean:

1) the Stations of the Cross;
2) 40 Hours Devotion;
3) Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament;
4) a Crucifix;
5) a picture or an icon of Christ;
5) any one or all four of the Gospels;
6) etc.!

But “that which signifies many things is an ambiguous sign and consequently occasions deception; this is clearly seen in equivocal words.  But all deception should be removed from the Christian religion according to Col. 2:8: ‘Beware, lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit.’”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 60, Article 3, Reply to Objection 1).

The destruction of the Catholic Mass and its replacement with an updated Protestant Memorial Meal/communion service was the result of a concerted effort, actually a conspiracy, by a group of Modernist heretics and Communist infiltrators.  It is an undisputed fact that the Novus Ordo worship service was composed under the supervision of Annibale Bugnini, C.M. [b. at Civitella de Lego, Italy 1912 - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday,  July 3, 1982] with the assistance of six Protestant ministers, with whom Pope Paul VI did not hesitate to pose in several historic 1970 photographs.

After the Consilium had met and finished its work, Dr. Smith, the Lutheran representative on the V-2 Concilium, publicly boasted:

“We have finished the work that Martin Luther began.”

Brother/Father Max Thurian [b. at Geneva, Switzerland on Tuesday, August 16, 1921 - d. at Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday, August 15, 1996] was a Swiss Calvinist Protestant theologian who became the Sub-Prior and co-founder of the Protestant Community of Taizé in the 1940’s, along with the founder and Prior, Brother Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche [b. at Provence, Switzerland on Wednesday, May 12, 1915 - d. stabbed to death by Luminita Ruxandra Solcan, a 36-year-old schizophrenic woman from Romania], while this Protestant minister of the Swiss Reformed Church, who was a longtime friend of Pope JP-2, a.k.a. John-Paul 2, Karol Wyotya [Monday, October 16, 1978 - Friday, April 1, 2005], was doing a Protestant “mass”, most probably The Ecumenical Protestant Lima Liturgy of 1982 (which was most likely edited by himself and Brother/Father Max Thurian), at Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France on the evening of Tuesday, August 16, 2005, which community is located at Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France.  The Protestant Community of Taizé is an ecumenical monastic community.

Originally, he was reported as having summed up the position of the 6 active Protestant members of the Synod Vatican 2 Concilium by saying:

“This Novus [New] Ordo [Order] Missae [of Mass] is so profoundly Ecumenical that it is theologically possible for Protestants to celebrate the Lord’s Supper in the SAME WORDS.  The new simplified Offertory does NOT anticipate a sacrificial act [as it does in the Ancient Roman Rite] and therefore does away with the difficulty which the “old” Offertory [of the Ancient Roman Rite] presented to Ecumenical efforts.”

But Brother/Father Max Thurian of Taizé, one of the other 6 Protestants on the V-2 Concilium, later recanted, publishing an article highly critical of the Novus Ordo - the New Mass, including the statement that:

“the great problem of contemporary liturgical life (apathy towards worship, boredom, lack of vitality and participation) stems from the fact that the celebration has sometimes lost its character as mystery, which fosters the spirit of adoration.”

The conspiracy to destroy the Traditional Latin Mass had already been at work in high places in the Vatican during the 1950’s (perhaps taking greater control in the mortal illness of Pope Pius XII in the last years of his reign) and early 1960’s.  In those years Annibale Bugnini, C.M. [b. at Civitella de Lego, Italy 1912 - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday,  July 3, 1982] and Ferdinando Giuseppe Cardinal Antonelli, O.F.M. [b. ?   - d. at Rome on July 12, 1993] (who later signed the decree promulgating the Novus Ordo worship service) headed a “Commission for Liturgical Reform,” which authored the various liturgical innovations introduced in the 1950’s and during the reign of Pope John XXIII.

The changes to the Mass had to be gradual and had to evolve and slowly keep changing in order to avoid the militant resistance with which they met in the 16th Century when the bold Protestant changes were more sudden and less gradual:

“Why does the Mass keep changing?  Here is the answer... It would have been foolhardy to introduce all the changes at once.  It was obviously wise to change gradually and gently.  If all the changes had been introduced together, you would have been shocked.” (John Carmel Cardinal Heenan [b. at Ilford, England on Thursday, January 26, 1905 - d. at Westminster, England, on Friday, November 7, 1975], Lenten Pastoral Letter, October 12, 1969).

These Innovators freely admitted that the gradual changes that they introduced were part of an overall program to create a new form of worship. Annibale Bugnini, C.M. quoted a fellow liturgist’s comments on the radical changes introduced in 1956 to the ancient form of the Holy Week rites as follows:

 “No doubt it is still too early to assess the full import of this document, which marks an important turning-point in the history of the rites of the Roman liturgy....  This reform is only the first step toward measures of wider scope, and it is not possible to judge accurately of a part except when it is placed in its whole.”

As for the thinking of Pope Paul 6 about the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass, a.k.a. the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass:

“The intention of Paul VI in the matter of the liturgy, in the matter of what is commonly called the Mass, was to reform the Catholic liturgy so that it should approximate as closely as possible to the Protestant liturgy ... with the Protestant Lord's Supper....  I can only repeat that Paul VI did all that he could to bring the Catholic Mass away from the tradition of the Council of Trent towards the Protestant Lord's Supper.  He was assisted by Archbishop Bugnini in particular, though Bugnini did not always enjoy the full confidence of Paul VI....  The Mass of Paul VI is first and foremost a banquet, is it not?  It lays heavy emphasis upon the aspect of taking part in a banquet, and much less upon the idea of sacrifice, ritual sacrifice in the presence of God, the priest only showing his back.  So I do not think I am mistaken when I say that the intention of Paul VI, and the new liturgy which bears his name, was to ask the faithful to participate more in the Mass, to make more space for Scripture and less for what some call “magic,” but others call consecration, consubstantiation, transubstantiation and the Catholic Faith.  In other words we see in Paul VI an ecumenical intention to wipe out or at least to correct or soften everything that is too Catholic in the Mass and to bring the Catholic Mass, again I say, as close as possible to the Calvinist liturgy” (Jean Guitton, French philosopher and close friend of Pope Paul VI, in the radio program “Ici Lumiere 101,” broadcasted by Radio- Courtoisie, Paris, December 19, 1993, translated by Adrian Davies in Latin Mass, Winter 1995, IV, 1, pp. 10-11).

On the contrary:

“Either the Catholic Church remains constant in her fundamental articles of faith over the centuries, or she is no longer the Church founded by Christ....  What leaders of the Church need to do [in this] veritable emergency of faith [is] to hold on literally for dear life to what Christ has revealed, to what has been defended for us by the champions of orthodoxy like Athanasius, Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory the Great, lived out before us by saints and mystics like Benedict, Francis, and Ignatius Loyola, like ... Teresa ... and Thomas More” (Fr. John A. Hardon, “The Crisis of Faith”, Christian Order, May 1997, pp. 275-76).

Therefore, the cogency of the prophecies of God the Holy Ghost through the pen of Daniel the Prophet and Malachias the Prophet should now be more self-evident?

“And in the half of the week the Victim and the Sacrifice shall fail:  and there shall be in the Temple the Abomination of Desolation:  and the Desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end”  (Daniel 9:27).

“And they shall defile the Sanctuary of Strength, and shall take away the Continual Sacrifice, and they shall place there the Abomination unto desolation” (Daniel  11:31).

“For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, My Name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice, and there is offered to My Name a Clean Oblation: for My Name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts.” (Malachias 1:11)

So the Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice which would be offered to God around the world every hour, for twenty four hours a day, seven days a week is the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Liturgical Rite of Mass, the principle Rite in the West being called the Ancient Roman Rite because it can be traced back to the 1st Century A.D. and, according to some, to Saint Peter.

Therefore the rest of the prophecies of Daniel should now make more sense?

The prophecy says in part:  “in the half of the week the Victim and the Sacrifice shall fail”   (Daniel 9:27).  This means that eventually the Continual Clean Oblation/Sacrifice which would be offered to God around the world every hour, for twenty four hours a day, seven days a week - the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Liturgical Rite of Mass, the principle Rite in the West being called the Ancient Roman Rite, would “fail”, i.e. it would be abolished.

There are various ways to abolish something.  Historically, the method used here was to abrogate/abolish the Catholic Liturgical Rite of the Ancient Mass by replacing it with a FAKE “mass” which, in terms of its ontological essence (that which makes a thing to be what it is) and its metaphysical essence (that which the ontological essence does), is per se invalid as well as illegal - in Anglo-Saxon English - a phoney “mass”!

The other prophecy says in part:  “And they... shall take away the Continual Sacrifice” (Daniel  11:31).

WHY did this happen?

Because they defiled “the Sanctuary of Strength” (Daniel  11:31).  In Catholic Churches, the place where the Mass is offered is on an Altar which is in the Sanctuary part of the church.  The “Sanctuary” is the inner sanctum, foreshadowed by the Jewish Temple “Holy of Holies” into which only the Jewish High Priest could go with a rope tied around his waist because if God was in His wrath against the Jewish, the Jewish High Priest would die and his body would have to be dragged out of the “Holy of Holies” by means of the rope tied around his waist!

So “the Sanctuary of Strength” is the Catholic “Holy of Holies” into which only a validly Ordained Priest and or validly Consecrated Bishop (with their Mass servers and/or other Mass ministers, e.g. in a Solemn High Mass - the Deacon and Sub-Deacon, Master of Ceremonies, etc.) is permitted to  enter and function.

But in the Vatican 2 church, in addition to finding one of the continually evolving versions of the Novus Ordo Missæ, one also finds that it has not only has ripped out the Catholic Traditional Altar of Sacrifice at which the Mass Celebrant stood facing the Altar with his back to the people denoting his position as the official mediator between God and mankind in virtue of his reception of the Sacrament of the Holy Priesthood, and replaced the Altar of Sacrifice with a Protestant Memorial Meal Supper Table where the “President of the Assembly” stands, not as a mediator between God and mankind, but as the officer of a human organization called the “Assembly”, but that it has also ripped out the Communion Rail, which had conveniently separated the “the Sanctuary of Strength” from the Congregation, but now has various members of the Laity taking an active role in what had been the Catholic “Holy of Holies”!  So there is no need for a rope because the Catholic “Sanctuary of Strength”, which is the Catholic “Holy of Holies”, has been secularized and de-sanctified and de-holyzied??

But what used to be “the Sanctuary of Strength” - the Catholic “Holy of Holies” into which only validly Ordained Priests and/or validly Consecrated Bishops could enter with their retinue can enter and function -  in what used to be Catholic Churches and Chapels, no longer exists in Vatican 2 churches and chapels!  Why?  Because the bottom line is that there is nothing sacred, nothing holy, nothing worthy of any reverence in these places anymore!  There is no longer a valid Catholic Rite of Mass offered in such places and therefore no Transubstantiated Sacred Species, and thus no Sacred Hosts in the Tabernacle because the Lamb of God has been dethroned, with the Tabernacle stuck off to the side in some places like an afterthought - out of sight and out of mind with “guitar masses”, “hootenanny masses”, “polka masses”, “go-go masses”, “vodoo masses”, “nude masses”, not to mention all other kinds of irreverent, disrespectful, base, anti-Catholic get-together Protestant Memorial Meal Suppers.

This is why GOD HIMSELF calls the REPLACEMENT for the abrogated/abolished Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass, so perfectly instituted by Jesus Christ, the Eternal Divine Logos, the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, the Eternal High Priest the “Abomination of Desolation”!!

God the Holy Ghost, through the pen of Daniel the Prophet, warns all Catholics about this Satanic monstrosity - God Himself calls - “the Abomination of Desolation”:

“And in the half of the week the Victim and the Sacrifice shall fail:  and there shall be in the Temple the Abomination of Desolation:  and the Desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end”  (Daniel 9:27).

“And they shall defile the Sanctuary of Strength, and shall take away the Continual Sacrifice, and they shall place there the Abomination unto desolation” (Daniel  11:31).

The context is clear - the Abomination of Desolation is the abrogated/abolished/replacement for the Catholic Traditional Liturgical Rite of Mass which includes both the Novus Ordo Missæ, a.k.a. Novus Ordo Rite, a.k.a. New Mass, and also any and all of its many evolving demonic creatures, e.g. “guitar masses”, “hootenanny masses”, “polka masses”, “go-go masses”, “vodoo masses”, “nude masses”, etc.

In plain, Anglo-Saxon English, the Vatican 2 churches uses either the Protestantized Novus Ordo Missæ, or one of its predecessors, e.g. either the first - 1960 - “missal of 2nd John 23", or the second - 1962 - “missal of 2nd John 23", or one of its evolved demonic creatures, e.g. “guitar masses”, “hootenanny masses”, “polka masses”, “go-go masses”, “vodoo masses”, “nude masses”, etc. - but whatever name is used to describe the thing, it all gets back to one basic reality, one basic Truth, they are all, in one way or another, the Abomination of Desolation!

Historically, all versions of the Protestant Abomination of Desolation, a.k.a. “masses” and/or quasi-masses were forbidden and condemned by the Council of Trent in Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass.

But the Council of Trent did not take action until about 43 years after the ex-Catholic monk, Father Martin Luther, O.S.A., proposed a German “mass” in 1519 and about 41 years after the ex-Catholic Priest, Father Andreas Rudolph Bodenstein [b. c. 1480 A.D. - d. 1541 A.D.], a.k.a. Carlstadt or Karlstadtf, did the first Protestant Memorial Meal Supper “mass” without the Canon of the Mass on Christmas Day, December 25, 1521 at Wittenberg when he appeared in the Castle Church without Mass vestments.  It was not called a “mass” at all, but rather an “Evangelical Meal”.

Thus the seeds were sown for a flood of various Protestant versions of the Abomination of Desolation such as the anti-Catholic “Evangelical Meals” which were later called by various names, e.g. Memorial Meal Suppers, Supper Meals, Memorial Meals, etc.

Here are some examples of various versions of the Protestant Abomination of Desolation the Protestants called “Evangelical Meals”, Memorial Supper Meal “masses”, quasi-masses by a variety of names such as this or that prayer book, etc. which the Council of Trent condemned as not being Catholic and warned Catholics that such meals and suppers were not Catholic Masses.

Source: Cardinal Newman: TRACTS FOR THE TIMES, No. 3 - Thoughts Respectfully Addressed to the (Anglican) Clergy - On Alterations in the Liturgy. It is not clear exactly how many updated versions there were.

It should be very obvious to the casual reader how ex-Catholic Augustinian monk, Martin Luther, O.S.A. and Father Andreas Rudolph Bodenstein opened the proverbial Pandora’s box of changing the Catholic Rite of the Ancient Mass into various versions of the Protestant Abomination of Desolation!

This is the same thing that Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli [Thursday, March 2, 1939 - Thursday, October 9, 1958] did, perhaps at the request of his Confessor, Father Augustin Bea, S.J., the future Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J. [b. at Riedböhringen, Germany on Saturday, May 28, 1881 - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday, November 16, 1968], when he invalidly and illegally made the first major liturgical changes to the Missal - the Missale Romanum (which has all the prayers and rubrics for the Mass in it) since the time of the Council of Trent, with his new liturgical translation of the Psalms from Hebrew into Latin - which replaced that of Saint Jerome’s Vulgate, so disliked by the Protestants because the Vulgate was the official translation of the Holy Scriptures in the Roman Catholic Church and as such it was declared to be authentic by the Nineteenth Œcumenical Council, the First Synod of Trent - [Thursday, December 13, 1545 A.D. - Wednesday, December 4, 1563 A.D.] and is the only authorized version to be used, especially in the Liturgy for the Mass and the Sacraments and the Breviary.

Yet the Council of Trent, concerning the Canon of Sacred Scripture, decreed, that every book in what some people call the Catholic Bible, including “the Davidical Psalter, consisting of a hundred and fifty psalms...” is to be received and not rejected.  Or, to quote the Council:

“But if any one receive not, as sacred and canonical, the said books entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin vulgate edition; and knowingly and deliberately contemn the traditions aforesaid; let him be anathema [i.e. automatically excommunicated]” (Council of Trent, Session 4, Monday, April 8, 1546, Decree Concerning the Canonical Scriptures).

The Council of Trent forbade any changes to be made to the primary Catholic Rite of Mass in the West, i.e. the Ancient Roman Rite of Mass, in Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562:

CANON VI. If any one saith, that the Canon of the Mass contains errors, and is therefore to be abrogated [abolished/changed/replaced]; let him be anathema.

CANON VIII. If any one saith, that Masses, wherein the Priest alone communicates sacramentally, are unlawful, and are, therefore, to be abrogated [abolished/changed/replaced]; let him be anathema.

CANON IX. If any one saith, that the rite of the Roman Church, according to which a part of the Canon and the words of Consecration are pronounced in a low tone, is to be condemned...; let him be anathema.  (Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562 A.D., On the Sacrifice of the Mass; emphasis added).

“ANATHEMA then appears as the more solemn form of pronouncing or declaring excommunication” (Rev. P. Chas. Augustine, O.S.B., D.D., A Commentary on the New Code of Canon Law, Volume 8, Canons 2255 & 2256, page 170.)

“ANATHEMA:  A thing or person struck by God’s malediction and intended for ruin.  Cf. I Cor. 12:13; Rom. 9:3; Gal. l:8-9.  Anathema, in actual Church discipline, is the term used for IPSO FACTO (automatic) excommunication incurred by those denying a solemnly defined truth, as is concluded principally from the dogmatic canons of the Synod of Trent and the Vatican Council, (i.e. Vatican 1)”  (Parente, Piolanti, Garofalo, Dictionary of Dogmatic Theology, “Anathema”).

“Canon 5 remaining in full force, a custom either against or beyond the law may be revoked by a contrary custom or law; however, a law, unless it makes express mention thereof, does not abolish centary (100 year old) or immemorial customs, nor does a general law abolish particular customs” (Codex Iuris Canonici, 30.)

Among other things, this also means that although the Vatican 2 church set Friday, November 28, 1969 as the date for forbidding the use of the Ancient Roman Rite of Mass, it actually postponed it for 2 years, resetting it to Sunday, November 28, 1971.  But Sunday, November 28, 1971 was never again mentioned in official documents.  But even IF the Vatican 2 church would have followed through and have attempted to abolish Quo Primum Tempore, it would make no difference!  Why?  Because the clergy, especially the hierarchy, of the Vatican 2 church - in virtue of their own heresy and apostasy from the Roman Catholic Church - has no power, authority or jurisdiction over the liturgical rites for the Mass and the Seven Sacrament, not to mention the laws of the Roman Catholic Church!

What is Quo Primum Tempore?  Here is the text of the Infallible Papal Bull Quo Primum Tempore, issued at the beginning of the Missale Romanum which Missal restored the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Traditional Mass of the West to its original pristine integrity, as the text itself testifies, and in obedience to the Council of Trent.

AD PERPETUAM REI MEMORIAM
For a Perpetual Memorial of the Matter

Where the first, upon Our elevation to the Apostolic throne, We gladly turned Our mind and energies, and directed all Our thoughts, to the matter of preserving incorrupt the public worship of the Church; and We have striven, with God's help, by every means in Our power to achieve that purpose.

Whereas amongst other decrees of the holy Synod of Trent, We were charged with revision and re-issue of the sacred books, to wit, the Catechism, the Missal and the Breviary; and whereas We have with God's consent published a Catechism for the instruction of the faithful and thoroughly revised the Breviary for the due performance of the Divine Office, We next, in order that the Missal and Breviary might be in perfect harmony, as is right and proper (considering that it is altogether fitting that there should be in the Church only one appropriate manner of Psalmody and one sole rite of celebrating Mass), deemed it necessary to give Our immediate attention to what still remained to be done, namely the re-editing of the Missal with the least possible delay.

We resolved accordingly to delegate this task to a select committee of scholars; and they, having at every stage of their work and with the utmost care collated the ancient codices in Our Vatican Library and reliable, original or amended, codices from elsewhere, and having also consulted the writing of ancient and approved authors who have bequeathed to us records relating to the said sacred rites, thus restored the Missal [of the Ancient Roman Rite] itself to the pristine form and rite of the holy Fathers.

When this production had been subjected to close scrutiny and further amended We, after mature consideration, ordered that the final result be forthwith printed and published in Rome, so that all may enjoy the fruit of this labor; that priests may know what prayers to use, and what rites and ceremonies they are to observe henceforward in the celebration of Masses.

Now therefore, in order that all everywhere may adopt and observe what has been delivered to them by the Holy Roman Church, Mother and Mistress of the other churches, it shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than that of this Missal published by Us.

This ordinance to apply to all churches and chapels, with or without care of souls, patriarchal, collegiate, and parochial, be they secular or belonging to any religious Order, whether of men, including the military Orders, or of women, in which conventual Masses are or ought to be sung aloud in choir or read privately according to the rites and customs of the Roman Church.

To apply, moreover, even if the said churches have been in any way exempted, whether by indult of the Apostolic See, by custom, by privilege, or even by oath or Apostolic confirmation, or have their rights and faculties guaranteed to them in any other way whatsoever, saving only those in which the practice of saying Mass differently was granted over 200 years ago simultaneously with the Apostolic See's institution and confirmation of the church, and those in which there has prevailed a similar custom followed continuously for a period of not less than 200 years; in which cases We in no wise rescind their prerogatives or customs aforesaid.

Nevertheless, if this Missal which We have seen fit to publish be more agreeable to these last, We hereby permit them to celebrate Mass according to its rite, subject to the consent of their bishop or prelate, and of their whole Chapter, all else to the contrary notwithstanding.

All other churches aforesaid are hereby denied the use of other missals, which are to be wholly and entirely rejected; and by this present Constitution, which shall have the force of law in perpetuity, We order and enjoin under pain of Our displeasure that nothing be added to Our newly published Missal, nothing omitted therefrom, and nothing whatsoever altered therein.

We specifically command each and every Patriarch, administrator and all other persons of whatsoever ecclesiastical dignity, be they even Cardinals of the
