Some trads are like Evangelicals in that they'll follow a celebrity priest or a priest who lets internet fame get to him and treat his words like gospel. They treat Fr. Ripperger like Muslims do Muhammad.
This is not limited to Ripperger. It's something I've been vocal about lately. Williamson, Lefebvre, Cekada, Sanborn, Dimond, Walthen, etc. it is a phenomenon that is widespread among trads that is very disconcerting.
This division and idolizing of clerics is all part of Satan's game.
"Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand."
[Matthew 12:25]
"For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:"
[2 Timothy 4:3]
For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul? The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given."
[1 Cor. 3:4-5]
