Good deal. Make sure to cite Ripperger promoting Solemn Exorcism by the Laity as well.
Read my latest post. Your dishonestly manifests itself more with each post. No one ever claimed that Ripperger was advocating solemn exorcism. That's actually central to Ripperger's blunder, however, which you accept by way of begging the question.
This has nothing to do with the solemn vs. private distinction, and everything to do with imperative vs. deprecatory adjuration of demons.
St. Alphonsus clearly states that 1) it's grave sin to use a deprecatory adjuration with a demon (even for an exorcist) and that 2) only exorcists (by virtue of having authority over demons) can issue imperative adjurations (i.e. command adjurations) to demons.
Case closed. Ripperger blunders and misreads St. Alphonsus, and then uses that misreading to justify his novelty of publishing deliverance prayers for that laity that include imperative adjuration of demons. This is why there's no Tradition whatsoever of lay people engaging demons in this manner. Laity have no authority over demons to issue imperative adjurations, and it's grave sin to issue deprecatory adjurations to demons.
It's also grave sin for the Exorcist to interrogate the demons other than specifically about things which are necessary to know in order to extirpate the demon from the obsessed.
