Anyone follow Fr Ripperger here ?
« on: September 10, 2022, 01:28:05 PM »
I was looking for videos one evening and come across a Fr Ripperger one on sacramentals. So I began watching others and he's an excellent catechist  imo.

I bought his book Deliverance Prayers For The Laity and begin praying the Auxilium Christian prayers. Soon after I understood why he strongly suggested one speak with a priest before praying the prayers. Demons don't like them.

I also got a copy of his latest book Dominion. It far exceeds the other books I've read on angels, demons, and spiritual warfare. 

Anyhow I'm glad I found him online. As far as the details of what goes on in the room when he performs a solemn exorcism, I'm not intrigued by all of that. Everything else he presents is solid imo.

What are the general thoughts here about Fr Ripperger ? I realize he's indult but he certainly is orthodox.

I like him too, he goes straight to the point .

He's the reason I got my local trad priest to make epiphany exorcism holy water.. I bless my home with it quite often and have given some to my family - it's powerful holy water.

Fr Ripperger was ordained in the Novus Ordo sect ( FSSP?) so his ordination might be considered doubtful. In the past he called the neo-SSPX and all other independent trad groups schismatic.
He hasn't spoken much about that lately ( understandably). He seems quite proficient in his ministry of exorcism but I am surprised he is so visible online with his profession. Usually exorcists are less public about it. He does have a great prayer website called Auxilium Christianorum  that I participated in as a member of the laity. I'm not so sure about him now.

Same here. I marked my doorways with the epiphany chalk as well.

He's a good Thomist, I learned a lot from his videos. And he's given great conferences on the demonic and exorcism. 

I doubt his Orders, and I've really become skeptical about just how much he shares regarding the demonic to the point that it seems like he's divining information from them to share with the public. There's also the weird popularity of him, as exorcists are typically out of the public eye because it paints a target on their back for demons.
