Let's read more closely what you quoted about the First Beast above:
"The beast is all the kings and powers of the earth seduced by the demons, which have shaken off the yoke of the Church and separated her, and joined to the shaken demons they form one body and unite in war against the Church and her pontificate."
Understand that apocalyptic language is intentionally obscure (the prophetic veil is being used). So you must read between the lines.
No, Fr. Palua is being shown and the angel is EXPLAINING the meaning clearly (You really should just read the whole text/pages I posted).
FIRST BEAST = Is the secular/temporal/material arm of the dragon in the world - all the kings and powers that
refuse to follow Christ's Church and have "separated" Her in the sense that by their refusal they have cut asunder the bond of unity that should exist if they rightly submitted to Christ's rule.
They attack the Church FROM WITHOUT. This beast has always hounded the Church.
"Shaken off" does NOT mean they were all at one point Catholic, to refuse something is to shake it off, i.e., "shake off the dust of thy sandals".
SECOND BEAST = Clearly here I agree with what you were saying above (but you are wrongly attributing to the first beast) that this is speaking of a false hierarchy. This beast has always hounded the Church as well, i.e, through false "Catholic kings" (false bishops, antipopes, false priests) who spread their abominations "within the sanctuary"
attacking the Church from WITHIN. Now,
THIRD BEAST = THE ACTUAL FALSE CHURCH of VATICAN II.
See what it says,
"I looked towards the earth and I saw another beast. This third beast looked like a lamb; it had the fleece and the horns of a lamb,
And the inhabitants of the earth believed it was Christ the Lamb of God, and I, at first sight, thought the same; but looking carefully, I saw that it had claws like a lion, and teeth like a wolf, and it blasphemed like the dragon. It received power like the beast with the seven heads, and with great marvelous signs made all the inhabitants of the earth
adore the first beast.


Paul VI was the manifest head of this 3rd beast (false church). He proved this in a multiplicity of ways, but none so starkly as praising the U.N. as the "last great hope of humanity" and "stripping" the mock papacy of both its temporal and spiritual power by divesting himself of those symbols publicly. This of course, was a truly meaningless show/display in the sense that he was not a true Pope, but a meaningful sign in the sense that he manifested the third beast and caused others to "adore the first beast", thus leading astray., "all the inhabitants of the world."
The beasts are allegorical:
1st beast = ALL the secuar powers/governments of the world who have rejected Christ and His Church.
2nd beast = ALL heretics and schismatics who profane holy things and lead others out of the Church.
3rd beast = the false church of Vatican II that points everyone to worship the secular world powers i.e., religious freedom, ecuмenism, masonic anthropocentrism, etc.
