Fr Ripperger is great on many points of doctrine, theology and devotion, but he's still infected with Modernism to some degree (as we all are).  Yet he's more infected since he won't condemn the novus ordo or V2.  He's spiritually bi-polar, as are all indult priests.  Keep him in your prayers; he is the type of priest that, if converted to Tradition, would be a force.

The fact of the matter is we must be faithful and loyal to the office.

In years past that meant obedience to the discipline and teachings on faith and morals of the occupant of the office, Father.

A real conundrum in this day and age.

Probably underlying his many words he is saying under his breath: but don't you dare follow Amoris Laetitia or believe the Church doesn't recognize the death penalty. It is the old game of recognize and resist (R & R). Same old, same old. Which when all is said and done: practical sedeplenism.

Sorry, Father this game can only be played so long until people wise up.  FSSP is riddled with his type of thinking.  Then they have the gall of having Francis's picture in the church.

To hear Fr. Ripperger speak one would imagine that some substantial number of the bishops of today actually have a genuine desire to lead the flock in the way of tradition, but it is the attitude of the faithful that is preventing it. The idea is absurd.

ROFLOL   Talking about drinking the cool aid. More than likely spiced with cocaine.

Father Vincent Lampert has been an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis since 2005 and is the pastor at St. Malachy’s in Indianapolis. He trained at the North American College in Rome and assisted with more than 40 exorcisms with longtime Italian exorcist Father Carmine De Filippi. Although the identities of most exorcists are hidden, Father Lampert often gives . . .  he said that he sees an increasing number of people involved in Satanic rituals and opening themselves up to evil.


“The reason a major exorcism needs a bishop’s permission is that the priest talks directly to the devil and commands him in the name of Jesus Christ to leave that person,” he said. “For the priest to be able to do that, he needs the authority of the Church behind him.”


“Demons recognize the authority of bishops and the Church. If you claim authority on your own, it can get you into trouble,” he warned the laity. He referred to the example in Acts 19, when some Jєωιѕн exorcists tried to expel an evil spirit. The devil said: “Jesus I recognize, Paul I know, but who are you?” Then he attacked them.


"It’s not the exorcists that have the power,” Father Lampert said, “but the power and authority of the Church that comes from Jesus Christ. Catholics understand that individuals don’t have that power.”

Louie has provided these updates to his original story:

UPDATE: A kind reader has pointed out that the sermon in question, although receiving renewed attention today and just recently uploaded to Youtube (linked above), was initially published back in August of 2009 when Pope Benedict XVI was still pope.

UPDATE: This same kind reader has also pointed out:

Fr. Ripperger is no longer with the FSSP and hasn’t been for a few years. He has started his own Society of exorcists under the title of Our Lady of Sorrows (www.dolorans.org.) at the request of the former bishop of Tulsa, OK (who’s liberal successor subsequently banished his order as well as an order of nuns who evangelized the Jєωs). The bishop of Denver invited his order to Denver where is currently operates.

The Church having authority to provide exorcisms still doesn't mean the novus ordo/indult is a good thing.

Correct.  There's no doubt that God supplies the necessary authority to Traditional priests given the decay of the Novus Ordo "hierarchy" ... due to the state of emergency.

The Church having authority to provide exorcisms still doesn't mean the novus ordo/indult is a good thing.

Agreed. Father Ripperger is in a situation none of us are in; none of us are being challenged by demons regarding our authority to cast them out.

Whom do Sedes use if they need an exorcist?
