I have never followed the Catholic faith being fully baptized in the Santa Barbara Mission until two months ago finding Fr. Chad Ripperger and listening to all of his videos daily for the last two months. I now love the Catholic faith and follow Fr. Ripperger daily and i now belong to a Catholic Church and I am meeting with the Deacon and will take adult classes after Sunday mass.

It was one word. Very brief, yet filled with much meaning. And yes, I followed, and my life was much better, more peaceful, and more devout. Very good point from Father R.

You helped me see just how their claimed charisms like glowing and marks of stigmata could have a diabolical cause. I never could see the marks or glowing anyhow. But they treated a couple of us badly in the name of Jesus and at the end were caught in lies. Then I found out that I didn't need to believe in anything there for my salvation and that did it. 2 of us sneaked out amid threats from that person.

[@margaretboyle8719]

@@felixroyan6615 THREE local bishops denounced it as a con job. The male "seer" was begging for funds online as of Dec. 2020. The defacto evidence: the conmen said the Holy Virgin said: "all religions are pleasing to God." This statement is heresy and blasphemy against the First Commandment and the Holy Name of Mary. Simple logic tells us that all religions contradict each other; only ONE is TRUE. This fact alone condemns it as a fraud. The "seers" want money, that is their motivation. The Lord warned of false prophets, pay attention. Our Lady of Fatima is the apparition for our time, it was witnessed by 70,000 and approved by ALL the popes. The prophecies of Our Lady were all PROVED to be true.

Yes, about modesty. I have seen some young girls in church dressed so bad that I could see her rear end. Where are her pArents? If I were the priest I would make sure that I let my parishioners know what is acceptable and what is not, and enforce it. We have so many wimps these days that it is sinful.. And why do we stand when receiving communion? Our values have been screwed up lately. Also the music is horrible.

Prayer, of course, modeling and teaching right attitudes and actions, yes. But if a child seems to be under demonic influence? If the parent(s) rejects the reality of the diabolic?

[@mariekatherine5238]

With all due respect, out of charity, expecting the priest to tell you your sins is outside the normal ways of Our Lord. We are told to examine our own consciences and to confess our sins to Jesus Christ in Whose place the priest sits by virtue of his office. Will you go to Christ and ask, however respectfully and politely, for Him to tell you your sins as well as to forgive them? He gives us all the graces and assistance we need to know our own sins and confess them well. What happened in my case was out of the ordinary in that Divine assistance was granted in order that I confess the matter completely so as to be completely forgiven. I had already done the difficult work of examining my conscience, confessing that which I was able, having imperfect contrition, but, being a recent convert, did not know how to name the sins, and, still having some doubt as to receiving forgiveness. There were details of the incident that I'd forgotten as a psychological defense mechanism to enable me to function during the ensuing years. As I said, the priest himself was unaware anything unusual had happened. The glory goes to God, not to the priest. If God had desired him to know he'd been give special knowkedgd, I'm sure He'd have informed him. Don't you see that God granted this special grace for my benefit, in order to bolster my weak faith and to cause His Son to be glorified? Yes, I believe this priest is a holy man, but that is irrelevant. God could have done the same through any priest, even a wicked one. Listen again to Fr. Ripperger. Special knowledge is by virtue of the priest's office, not his personal holiness. To tell you the priest's name and location without his specific permission is a violation of his privacy. After all, I work in a public occupation, but I certainly don't give personal contact information to strangers, much less broadcast it on the internet! (No, I do not use social media. Posting comments under a different name is as far as I go.) Confession is serious, a matter of eternal salvation or condemnation, not an occasion of testing the supernatural graces of a particular priest for the sake of novelty! True, St. Padre Pio sometimes told penitents their sins. So did others; St. John Vianney, St. Phillip Neri, etc. Never is this the norm. If you go to Confession with this desire, you are tempting God, a sin of itself. Those whom St. Padre Pio told their sins usually were called upon to perform arduous penances and to return only afterwards for absolution. Many did not obey and were left outside the state of grace. Think of the rich young ruler who came to our Lord asking what he lacked. He obeyed all the Commandments. Our Lord then told him the one thing he lacked. To merit Heaven, he was told to give all he had to the poor, leave all his friends and family, and follow Christ. Did he do it? No. He went away sad, unwilling to do as God instructed. It was too hard. Work first, on developing virtues and on confessing your sins. If God should grant a miracle, praise Him. If He never grants you a miracle, praise Him anyway. "For He is good and His mercy endures forever."

Special knowledge is by virtue of the priest's office, not his personal holiness. To tell you the priest's name and location without his specific permission is a violation of his privacy. After all, I work in a public occupation, but I certainly don't give personal contact information to strangers, much less broadcast it on the internet! (No, I do not use social media. Posting comments under a different name is as far as I go.) Confession is serious, a matter of eternal salvation or condemnation, not an occasion of testing the supernatural graces of a particular priest for the sake of novelty! True, St. Padre Pio sometimes told penitents their sins. So did others; St. John Vianney, St. Phillip Neri, etc. Never is this the norm. If you go to Confession with this desire, you are tempting God, a sin of itself. Those whom St. Padre Pio told their sins usually were called upon to perform arduous penances and to return only afterwards for absolution. Many did not obey and were left outside the state of grace. Think of the rich young ruler who came to our Lord asking what he lacked. He obeyed all the Commandments. Our Lord then told him the one thing he lacked. To merit Heaven, he was told to give all he had to the poor, leave all his friends and family, and follow Christ. Did he do it? No. He went away sad, unwilling to do as God instructed. It was too hard. Work first, on developing virtues and on confessing your sins. If God should grant a miracle, praise Him. If He never grants you a miracle, praise Him anyway. "For He is good and His mercy endures forever."

Fr. Ripperger? What are you saying during timestamp 0:08-0:11? Forgive me, but I laughed a little bit as I tried to catch up with what you were saying (praying)... I have been on the path of rediscovering my faith lately, and during this process I stumbled upon you and a few others that I really enjoy listening to. Thank You :)

[@lindab3340]

Very helpful ! Question, does Father R support the claim that Russia was NOT consecrated? This confuses me because I was under the impression that it WAS . Also does he believe in the chastisement? Clarification would really help!l if anyone knows, thanks !

[@jamie7880]

He believes that the chastisement could happen, if i am not mistaken.

[@jamesyoung187]

The consecration of Russia has not taken place as requested by Our Lady of Fatima. She asked that ALL bishops of the world, in conjunction with the Pope, do thje consecration of Russia (by name). Such has not taken place as proscribed. "the solemn public Act of Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by all the bishops of the world joining the Pope on one specific day"

[@irishmom6x]

The consecration of Russia as originally requested by Our Lady of Fatima did not taken place... there is some dispute about subsequent "consecration " being valid, but the fact is it was not done in the time requested so Russia spread it's errors... we , the people are supposed to be doing the 5 First Saturdays as well, How many have done them?

PLEASE ANSWER I neither heard nor saw ANYTHING but FELT. My left shoulder be hit by something heavy as if a tile had fallen on it from the ceiling I looked up and nothing had fallen The rest is too personal to be written here What was that?

[@SensusFidelium]

al meggs no idea

[@boomct8569]

al meggs It could be 1) something biological like a nerve firing off, something of natural causes 2) something from God 3) something demonic to distract, disturb or influence you It's too hard to say, so as Fr Ripperger suggests (based on St John of the Cross' advice) best to just ignore it. If it happens again immediately ask Jesus to cover you with His Precious Blood. Whatever the cause the best thing you can do is increase your prayers and your efforts to remain united with God.

[@dalton7145]

Did you ever talk to a Priest about your question? Hope you did and that you got your answer

[@yellowrosesanewspringtyme2469]

I was pushed down a flight of stairs by Satan, my feet never hit nor skimmed one step, rigt through the air...bracing my body in the air, i went full force into the door, i thought for sure i was dead. i felt to see if all was in tact, i got up not a scratch nothing... Just say Come Lord Jesus. The devil only attacks God's - chosen, i would not put too much emphasis on Ripperger...as his mean ness is a huge red flag..

[@praytherosaryeveryday2709]

This is a form of oppression by the devil, me personally when I'm asleep i am woken up by a blow to the head, not sore but enough to wake me up and annoying to say the least. Pray to jesus every day, he expects all of us to fight against oppression daily, by doing so you give him great glory, some people bring on oppression by past actions that they have done, some saints were oppressed, st. Padrio pio, st.gemma st. John vieeanie, count it all joy, be in a state of grace and give all glory to God when the devil attacks

[@tinadavy3990]

Thank You, Fr. Ripperger. On Tre Fontane ... : KZbin: Our Lady of Revelation Part 1 Sensus Fidelium Terrific videos ( watch all parts) Clear and fascinating... wish I'd known when in Rome.

[@heavensstars4025]

My heart is lead to say this last comment to your channel and that is, if people do not discern and listen to the apparitions, many could lose their souls as well for not listening and preparing their souls for heaven. Many so called Christians go to church dressed in fine clothing and for show, and are not there spiritually for God. Many receive Christ in sin who take his body and blood. You will know if the heavenly messages carry Gods fruit in them that they are possibly real. Some priests, bishops, cardinals, and so forth need to heed this as well for their souls, because, their position does not guarantee heaven for all of them either. May God bless you and take care.

[@heavensstars4025]

We are not to be hypocrites in the church is what I am saying also in my above comment.

[@boomct8569]

You are right, God knows our hearts and we must be true to Him not in the externals but in our hearts to the best of our abilities. That is first and foremost. But because we are easily deceived by ourselves in our own human nature we can also be deceived by others. Obedience to Mother Church is our only safe guide regardless of our feelings which can be manipulated. God bless and keep you!

[@theway3031]

Where did you learn all this ?

[@aperta7525]

Are demons able to do these things to just anyone willy nilly? Or are there only specific conditions that make an "open door"?

[@MCSilver]

If the CDF has approved the True Life in God messages and even put out a Clarification to say its okay, why do some bishops still block the people from sharing it?

[@arjrpzwork9416]

Listening to this, it sounds like mine was real honestly. Maybe i should tell someone?

[@wraithoftheirish]

Does this mean then that we should accept the explanations and all other untruths about Fatima? That the explanations shoulld be accepted?

[@user-du5tg4si2j]

Just like MAN MADE TEACHINGS we BELIEVE in the MAN CREATED SHROUD to be AUTHENTIC TOO!

[@arjrpzwork9416]

When i was led to Christ, i saw a vision where every cloud turned into a dove and a fish. But yeah.. Funny how you said that people didint want to tell when it was real lol. I can relate to that.. Even im skeptical alot, but i think mine was actually true.. Satan cant fake something like that.

[@mistybuttercup110]

I believe thT you saw that.......

[@redpoppy3569]

How does Our Lady of Sorrows or Guardian Angel reveal the predominant fault?

[@matrixfree3480]

Theres an simple method of questioning called inquiry. Simply ask yourself, is it TRUE. Are their opinions, criticims actually true. Examine throughly each belief you hold of them and their opinions. Let the light of reality do its part. And its likely what they say of you is how they feel about themselves. Then sit still and meditate by clearing thoughts or giving them far less attention for several periods daily. You will see the sticky thoughts soften and have less meaning. As well do a gratitude practice. Write 3 things you are grateful for daily. Feel each one, feel it in the body. Do this twice a day. Can be the simplest thing. Like the sound of your favorite music, a pretty flower, a smiling baby. This can raise your frequency. And... Feel the love of God. You ARE loved.🙏

[@edgar_roca]

The Mystical city of God by Venerable Mary of Agreda is 4 big book volumes mostly dictated by Our Lady. So our Lady does speak a lot if she wants to.

[@CatholicMailman]

I don’t just jump into band wagon, the Bible says to test the spirits because not all spirits comes from GOD so I always pray to GOD the HOLY GHOST for guidance and discernment. To play safe, I only follow the Catholic approved apparitions like Fatima, Lourdes, Akita, La Salette, Our Lady of Good Success. May the GOD the HOLY GHOST guide everyone to the truth and show them the true teachings of the Catholic Church 🙏🙏🙏

[@gianne4228]

what is the stand of Fr Ripperger on Medjugorje?

[@QueenAstroParticle]

I think it's potentially harmful to criticise "softness" in men without also warning against being overly aggressive, which is a far more common male tendency than "effeminacy"... Or is it a problem for a man to be sensitive and gentle towards his wife and children, but raging and abusing is ok?

[@tinadavy3990]

The aggression comes from lack of control / maturity....Maturity and Control is the REAL MAN, not Mr. Wimpies .

[@tinadavy3990]

Effeminacy ... look around you ... sadly being propagated in all media.

[@miamaria333]

I'm so surprised that no one picked up or commented on what Father said about our passed popes not believing in the Fatima apparitions and that the faithful do not have to pay any attention to it! Pope Benedict certainly believed as he had talked about it! St. John Paul the second PLACED THE BULLET THAT HE WAS SHOT WITH in Her crown!!! Always talked about Fatima! I'm shocked that Father Ripperger would believe and make such an unbelievable statement:[. He's so knowledgeable, I hope he retracts that comment or at least better explain his conviction because it doesn't add up. Jesus Mary and Joseph pray for us!

[@vigildino6518]

I did not hear that. What time into the video does he say that?I heard many of his talks and I got the impression that he believes in it.

[@hannahrea-campbell6904]

Not! He said we do not have to go after these to have salvation!! Period!

[@tinadavy3990]

Why then, did JPII not follow Mary's very specific directions on Consecration ... a true puzzlement.
