Gossiping ~ Fr Ripperger

[@juliathelittle7007]

I know in some of these recordings people complain about the sounds of children in the background. As a mother of 3, 3yr and under I am so glad that parents came with their children. God bless them and the father.

[@Anonymous-ip4qx]

Amen

[@danaodom1010]

Let the little come into me..

[@ma.cristinavaleriano738]

I hear the children in the background, and noticed that Fr Ripperger is not bothered at all. He doesn't let it distract him. I am thus motivated to just focus on his teachings. And Jesus did say to let the children be. So be it.

[@CitySlickerBallKicker]

I am glad Catholics bring their children to the sermons with them as opposed to Protestant churches where kids are separated into little play rooms (I came from Protestantism). I told my 5 year old I bring her in with the adults and listen to what I listen to just as I would want her to eat off my plate with vegetables, teach her how to use cutlery properly than sitting at a kids table or ordering from kids menu. Child grows best eating what their parents eat. They learn healthy eating and behavioral habits. Same in the spiritual aspect.

Yes, the really loud crying and kid noises in the background is very distracting and rude to the people trying to listen, this is not a lecture they would understand and the parents are really quite rude and inconsiderate to others!

Great video. We could all learn something from it. Gossip hurts a lot of people, not just the person in question, but we will only know the damage done by our words on judgement day.

[@mariansprague1781]

Jesus said BRING THE CHILDREN. I once heard a priest say when a child cries out at mass it makes him happy to know the young family is there. If we focus on our relationship and prayers we barely hear the children; and being no. 9 of 11 FAMILY brings smiles 😃 to my face. I know how often I distrupted the Holy Mass when I was a naughty child and I owe it to GOD to pay back my debt for my many failures. Bring on the children. I love them 💗

[@donnahalsted7718]

Yes, one of twelve. If one of the little ones was fussy they were carried out by big brother or sister till it passed. We sat, knelt, stood quietly under Dads watchful eye. His devotion was so exemplary, with head bowed and gently turning the onion skin pages of his missal. Mother usually had an infant to tend. The older boys were generally serving. The rest of us really kept each other in line. On occasion a baby cry could be heard somewhere in church. But it was soon hushed or drifted outside. Today, to hear a baby cry in Church is a joyful blessing. How I wish there was a larger choir of those innocent ones in Church. It amazes me that God still has faith in humanity when I see children! God bless their parents!

[@robert112uk]

And the Disciples were amazed and they said"Who then can be saved?" Thank God for confession. Help us to make good confessions O Lord!

[@THEBODYPRACTICE]

I think the lessons that bleed through from Father Ripperger are the most practical tools we can use to uphold scriptural virtues pleasing to God. It seems there are a myriad of clergy that are beautiful reciters of scripture but lack fundamental principles of practice that we desperately need. Thank you Lord for this man 🙏🏻.

[@rg1whiteywins598]

Gossip is something that is not addressed at all. This is such a good talk. We should never speak badly about anyone and if we have a bad thought, say a Hail Mary. We are all guilty of gossip and our culture promotes this 24 hours. Pray for the Pope and your enemies. This is very helpful.

[@sophiahace9920]

Praise be to God! You are absolutely correct. I have been discerning the vice of gossip-as you so rightly pointed out, we hear it everywhere and, frankly, it comes off as normal. As Catholics I’m so thankful for Father Ripperger and that he breaks it down clearly for me to understand so I can tackle my own sins and take them to Jesus in confession.

[@attackhelicoptercat]

i think of gossip as a form of witchcraft, casting curses with your mouth, upon somebody through other people.

[@mov1ngforward]

Yes! Thoughts and words are things! They call it spelling for a reason, very powerful.

[@jeaninecurran875]

It’s definitely hard to be silent. There’s a reason for the silent monasteries. In some of them They’re only permitted to talk about 1 hour per day.

[@evam2311]

And than it even intensifies when so many people speak about it it is a form of witchcraft or when people gather together and talk about a person adding their own perceptions or asociations with it and it can truely affect the persons life…gossips can change a view on a persons character or point out a flaw that noone even payed attention to in first place it’s diabolic🤢

[@RobertRMusic]

I feel like these talks are like minor exorcisms for me. My whole life I have been committing the sins mentioned in this talk, totally blind to them. Like a demon had been egging me on this whole time. Finally at 40 I am watching these videos and getting a huge huge wake up call. Thank you!

[@kristinmatranga6832]

I thank you for teaching me these about all of this. I love listening to you speak. I had a series of things happen for years. For years I have suffered from being wrongfully accused of things. So much so, it affected a charity that I was doing, my ability to get a job utilizing my skills and have been unable to make friends for years. The priests are nice to me though. I think that you are special , I listen to you. The green scapular has helped and I use Holy water plenty to try and keep evil away.

Father Rippinger is an amazing educator and I learn so very much from him. In this particular seminar I hear several criticisms for TRADS which saddens me. I will continue to listen to his videos for the education, but some things we ought to sort OUT. . There is no holier than though in true Christianity no matter which form of the liturgy is practiced.

[@nafuregal1288]

Thank you again, Fr. R. ... Malicious gossiping seems to be off the charts in prevalence and damage done everywhere. This is so good and very helpful in teaching us how to better ourselves, using biblical principles. This should be available in every school and workplace! PS - I appreciate keeping Trads on their toes, and keenly aware, especially given that Trads are supposedly searching for the truths, no matter how hard. Really important to NOT undermine the cause and truths by behaving hypocritcally. With great respect, in interest of balance.... Most Trads have likely endured accusations of trying to appear "holier than thou" so I just don't want people considering going traditional to be intimidated too much by those kinds of generalizations , or to feed too much into others who are quick to judge and label Trads negatively. But please still keep us on our toes, we all need it! (Great advice given, @ practicing to pray FOR the person we want to gossip about or who has hurt us)

Complicit silence in the face of EXPLICIT heresy of any cleric, at any level, is sinful, an act of cowardice.

Better there be scandal than the truth be suppressed." Pope St. Felix.

[@FrancesShear]

There is for sure a difference between reporting on important issues to authority and then to the public after being given the right to do so by the proper authority and gossiping. A conflict of interest is most often at play during the act of gossiping. Like when Adam was being questioned next by god when being called to task about his own behavior too after Eve got questioned during the fall.

[@TheEuphrosyne1216]

Re: Gossipping by men vs. women. Stranded after work, in a snowstorm, I ended up spending the night at the home of a male, retired former co-worker who took pity on me and on another co-worker, also a male (I'm a female). Our gracious host lived in a one-bedroom apartment, and he and my male co-worker whiled away a pleasant couple of hours over a couple of beers in the living room, talking about the doings among the various people at our workplace . . . I was very tired after trudging through the snow, and was desperate to go to sleep, but no such luck . . . I was forced due to the sleeping arrangements to wait for the pair of them to wrap it up. They weren't wrapping anytime soon, and I was a captive audience . . . anyway, before we all finally turned in, I knew more personal information about *every single person,* including *the owner* and *the owner's wife,* than I had learned on my own about these people during the previous entire year! (I'm an introvert; find most other people's lives boring to the point of sobs, and tend to mind my own business.) I have never heard such a fat pair of gossips in my entire life!!! And I never would have believed it if I hadn't listened to the pair of them all evening. (In case any other "oldsters" from DC remembers this night - this was the President's Day Snowstorm of 1979).
