The 6th Generation: Generational Spirits: Lost Generation to the One Current~ Fr Ripperger

[@earthangel3234]

I'm a Baby Boomer and I attended Traditional Latin Mass before Vatican II when I was very young. When Vatican II occurred, my parents strayed away from the Church and eventually divorced. My Grandmother was a very devout Catholic, she was born in a South American country. She was sent to a convent for her education. We went to mass together. I learned so much from her about Catholicism. She told me about demons in her native country and how to protect myself from them. I pray for my parents and Grandmother every day. My family and I attend Latin mass every Sunday, that's 3 generations. Thank you God for such a blessing.

[@artgo2000]

@@leejennifercorlewayres9193 I am from Mexico, but in fact, from Mexico to Argentina, there are a lot of "traditions" and local traditions depending on the town or country, speaking about my country, if you live in a city, you can live almost without noticing the devils but if you live in a small town, there is a lot of witchcraft and spiritism. There are places in Mexico where you can go specifically to get the services of a witch or a sorcerer. There are places where catholicism and animism coexist and there is something called sincretism. Of course an educated Catholic know that all this is satanic but ignorance is big and lot of catholics practice these "old ways" along with catholicism. In those towns, especially in the south you need to baptize your child because is the only way to protect them from witches and other "things". Those are the stories that you hear from the local people. Northern countries were protected from this because they were protestant Christians and somehow all this was contained, but now as first world countries give their back to God, animis, witchcraft and oriental religions are the new beliefs, so you will need to really protect yourself. How? First of all, get baptized and live as a good Christian, as father Ripperger says, pray, sunday mass, frequent confession and use sacramentals: holy water, blessed rosaries, blessed images, blessed medals, you need to educate yourself on Catholicism, a devotion for the Virgin, the Saints, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You can also search for the following book, it is in Spanish "las seis puertas del enemigo", it is from another exorcist, father Javier Luzón, he is from Spain, google it, there is a translation to English so you can use it as a guideline.

This makes so much sense. As a GenX I've been so busy blaming the baby boomers that I didn't see what the greatest generation did to ruin the baby boomers. I think as a parent, there's so much to learn from these observations what not to do to promote a better society later on. I've found that not only has the baby boomers neglected the GenXers as children, aka "latch key kids", but they've also neglected being supportive grand parents and helping my generation learning how to parent. I've learned more about life through KZbin than I ever have through familial support.

[@carecc7191]

I am sorry but your immaturity is showing. Each INDIVIDUAL is responsible for what choices he makes. You should not be seeking to blame an entire generation, that's irrational and unjust. "Take the beam out of your own eye..." I am a younger boomer and knew the sex, drug, rock and roll path was dangerous and destructive. What appealed to me, was money and professional success, the yuppie value system. If you hope to mature in the true sense of the world, examine your own culpability, FIRST and foremost. I am the ONLY practicing Catholic in a large, alcoholic family of cultural Catholics. DAILY prayer of the Rosary is what converted me and keeps me on the narrow path. I suggest you read the Church Doctors: Augustine, Catherine of Sienna, Teresa of Avila, Aquinas; these men and women tell the timeless truth and are completely RELIABLE as Doctors. We are ALL called to LEARN our faith and it's a lifelong task. Being aware of the zeitgeist of your generation and of the present is a good thing but you need not fear it if you ask for the intercession of the Holy Mother of God, avoid sin, and pray the ROSARY DAILY.

My grandparents were wonderful people but they definitely indulged my aunt and my mom and both married abusive men unfit to be husbands or raise children properly. And I’m a convert and the first Catholic in my family. By the grace if God I was confirmed in the Catholic Church 2 months ago as the coronavirus pushed it past Easter. My grandma was a full time school teacher and part of the WW2 generation but she still happily submitted to my grandpa and they had a wonderful marriage of 60 years. I just wish they had instilled their values (not Catholic but still traditional conservative mainline Protestant) to my mom and aunt so that I wouldn’t have had to suffer the consequences of a dysfunctional and abusive family and the scars that come with it. Please pray for me

[@lukebrasting5108]

Similar story here. Grandparents were Presbyterian, he cheated, she was left to raise 5 children aged 10 and under on her own and fell into depression and became distant and lost the faith. Being raised in a fatherless home without any spiritual values, the 3 girls (my mom and aunts) ended up going of the rails and becoming teen moms. All of them are dysfunctional and my cousins and siblings and I were raised in their chaos. The 2 brothers, my uncles, are mechanics who moonlight as dope dealers on the side and have 6 kids between them. My sister and I turned out pretty normal but we both have wounds because of their bullshit and emotional abuse and neglect. I'm a fairly recent convert to Catholicism as well and I'm trying to learn the values I was never taught so I can clean myself up on the inside and not make the same mistakes when I eventually have children. Gotta brake the cycle.

I'm so sorry for the trauma that you've gone through - to all who've shared their background. It's imperative that we don't let our suffering go to waste. Suffering is redemptive when we unite it to Christ on the Cross. I've had terrible health problems for 20 years and for the past 18 months, I've been bedridden with horrific pain due to several diagnoses. I turn my suffering into prayer and use it to pray for those who need it in this life, for the souls in purgatory who cannot pray for themselves, for those who are dying and entering eternal life, and more. I just hope that I'm using my suffering to the fullest and making full use of it in the way that God wants me to. You will all be in my prayers. May God bless you abundantly 🙏✝️❤

I am Gen X and went to Catholic School for 12 years. Not because my parents (baby boomers) were religious, but because they were showing off that they could afford it. We were made to walk to Church every Sunday (without them, envelope in hand and had to bring home a bulletin to prove we went). Now in their 70s, they are ridiculously liberal (way more than I ever was), support every gay agenda and think I am a bigot because of my views and ridiculous because of my Faith. We had an actual family dispute because I rejected (and insisted they did also) going to a psychic/medium after my brother passed away (a homosexual who died of alcoholism). Also there was a complete invasion and interference of the raising of my children. Pride, greed and hypocrisy is a hallmark of the boomer generation in my opinion/experience.

[@pattiday431]

I wish Fr. Ripperger were a priest in my parish, don't you?

[@MegaMackproductions]

I see this all the time in my generation. Many arent bad people. they just are looking for the answer and will cling to whatever offers itself. Paganism looks interesting because the mainstream church has no teeth, no bite. But Ive met a GREAT number of Gen Zers (Myself included) who only want the truth and we search tirelessly for it and fight tooth and nail to spread it, I have forever! But I was lost looking for god and like most, I had no idea where to find him. If you want to convert Gen Z, All you need to do is preach! the full, unadulterated truth. We have no moral foundation, And so there is nothing that will stop us from adopting Catholicism save for weakness and lukewarmness. but if the Church Militant Showed itself? So many would flock to stand under its banner! We all long for the Church of the Crusades! So many of us still Meme Deus Vult, because deep down we are crying for the God we never knew.

Every generation has those who desire the truth and those who HATE IT, because it demands sacrifice, prayer, penance, honesty and other TOUGH stuff. "In those days, they will turn from sound doctrine and listen to that which tickles their ears." Those who have had alcoholic/addict parents, have actually been TAUGHT to avoid the truth: denial, avoidance, enabling, complicity in sin. I suggest you pray the ROSARY DAILY, the constant request of the Holy Virgin. One of its fifteen promises is protection from heresy. I urge you to look up the talks of the late Fr. Nicholas Gruner on the power of the Rosary and the AUTHENTIC message of Fatima, which is meant for TODAY.

Have hope, the partiarchy is returning. Look up for example Elliott Hulse, Jordan Peterson as some worldly examples. Some things on Studio21 were good. There are flaws in those movements, but they realised some things, that were going on and are trying to correct it. Realised the power of the truth and religious or traditional teachings. Value of family. All this is going on within the younger generation. We just still need teachers and teachings to balance all this modernist stuff out. For example more interviews with leading social media persons to spread it.

[@samschannelish]

My boomer parents immigrated to California in 1974 from a part of Italy with a devout but ignorant peasant faith. The generational spirit on the Italian boomers is different enough to be distinguishable: closer to the U.S.’s “greatest generation” but also afflicted with a distinct shame of the faith and religion they inherited based on their belief that it was based on ignorance and superstition. This belief persisted throughout to Generation Y and lingers. But as my parents arrived in the USA at 20 and 22 years old, they then took on some of the US generational spirit vices. As a generation X, I did not grow up narcissistic because my rare disorder caused me profound suffering all throughout my childhood and I was instinctively inclined to being docile to it even before I embraced it as a grace. My parents were abusive as a result of my condition. My boomer mother has narcissistic personality disorder. Both my parents are unable to fully accept that modernism and the infiltration in the Church duped them. So things can be a little reversed in comparison to the overall development of the generational spirits that Father R describes here although he is without a doubt correct generally. However, I disagree with his simplistic view of the relationship between husband and wife. He and 95% of clergy appear incapable of the proper understanding of the conditional aspect of St. Paul’s teaching but I know from personal experience that it is the case. The condition is: wife submit to your husband WHEN AND IF your husband loves you as Christ Jesus loves His Church. Not that the husband needs to be perfect, but he needs to be honestly trying. My husband is vexed by evil spirits, generational spirits and likely has mental illness in the form of personality disorder. If I submit to his authority I risk losing my salvation. I have learned to discern when I can submit to his whims without putting myself in danger, and when I absolutely must not. When I don’t submit to his evil I have to grab my daughter and flee for most or all of the day. I am abused in every way by him-though with God’s grace the physical abuse has mostly subsided. Most women don’t stick around with an abusive husband long enough to reap the spiritual benefits that I am obtaining. And it’s not my merit: I have been legally stuck abroad with him. My situation is relatively rare and thus most priests alive today are not aware of situations like mine, that make it absolutely CLEAR that it’s wrong for a wife to unconditionally submit to a husband just as it’s wrong to unconditionally submit to the hierarchy-they could be wolves in sheep’s clothing or leading people astray. Following their iniquitous lead-instead of Christ and His truth-would be idolatry. Generally speaking, women are perfectly capable of discerning these things and should work to lovingly inspire/lead/pray their gravely sinning husbands back-in fact, it’s their DUTY to help their husbands to heaven. Certainly, in my case, I am the only one depending on Our Lady, especially through the rosary and the Eucharist to protect my family and accept the fate of my marriage as nothing but a cross.

So I know where I have been and the why or how I got there & I see how I stumbled across the correct things to do .... what I run into now that I’ve been living more correctly in the last 8+ years is the acceptance that I missed the windows of time to do things such as be a traditional wife with a mentally stable nonviolent spouse. I have to deal with where I am now and accept that I’m to old to redo a sizable chunk of my life.

Prayer to Our Lady Undoer of Knots Blessed Mother, You are the very Grace of God. Christ made Himself Your Son and shares You with us, knowing our great need for Your Maternal Intervention. We turn to You with assurance of Your Love and Tender Pity. Come, we plead and release the knots of our pride, fears, prejudice, vanity and impurity, which prevent the flow of Your Son's Divine Life in our souls. All sin ties us in knots and we stand in need of Your help, to free us from its bondage. We place our trust in You, oh Blessed of all women. Our Lady of Undoer of Knots, pray for us. Amen

I'm a 72 year old male. I know people in their 60s and 70s who still say they have no regrets being hippies, and claim they still are hippies. Others of those ages, among us Catholics (I converted to Catholicism in 1970), returned to going to mass, if they ever did in their youths, but still know little of traditional Catholicism, due to poor catechism, having led a hippie life or where influenced by it. Also, I know people in their 60s and 70s, now, divorced and dating other divorcees, or even living together, including some among them claiming to be Catholics, again in their 60s and 70s! Any around my age agree with me?

[@katiedid8192]

Thank you for this wonderful discussion. My experience with family generations has been that God blessed us by allowing us to be of a class in society that experienced difficulties with a strongly based moral code. I was born on the cusp of the baby boomer generation and my children were born in the early seventies. My parents were not wealthy and demonstrated a strong work ethic and had no difficulty telling us we could not afford certain things. We learned to appreciate what we had. I found raising my children that my biggest struggle morally was my convictions were almost mocked by the Church. I was told I was too old fashioned, etc. my children seem to have better moral convictions than many of their generation but none of them go to church. My middle one made her first communion before her first confession. Prayers for all that we wake up and heed the Holy Spirit.

[@tinalettieri]

My mother did some terrible things as a narcissist, one being doing exactly what Fr. describes although for different reasons. She had been a doctor before she met my father and it's a long story but when it came time for her to stop working, she refused. HOWEVER, even tho she was part of the (not)Greatest Generation, and claiming to be 110% "American" she was able to pass on the traditional Italian values she had been raised with.Ironically, at least one generational spirit came thru her. There was a lot of "do as I say, not as I do." My father did as well so, now hearing this, I fully understand why I never fit in and why I don't think or feel American. The home of my heart is Southern Italy which, while changing, has for the most part, held those values. I was very glad to see in my most recent visit of a month, many men of all ages in the Church.

[@Artchopin]

Amazing amazing résumé about generations and what results they all created. GOD spoke through his faithful priest We all have to repent and pray for restoring

[@sardonyxsky]

bless you Fr. you were so accurate about when trying to have a discussion regarding some offense, the offender exclaims 'stop attacking me!' there may be slight differences within the generations, but the lack of conscience or care for others is pretty much the same, as ppl have aged with the times and been conditioned as culture evolves. my heart is really broken. i am suffering this life and the actions of others the best i can.

[@mommyseastar5776]

My extended family has examples of all of this. Praise God, my three siblings and myself are all devout Catholics as are our spouses and children. I don’t know how the Spirit is working, but Ge definitely is in some of our younger generations. Edit: I’m from gen. X and fight narcissism, intemperance, and fear. Thank you, Fr. Ripperger! I love how you’re putting history in context!!

[@mariekatherine5238]

When I tried the triangulation trick, it did NOT work! But that's because my parents were 10-15 years older than those of my peers. Dr. Spock held no truck with them. Their sin was/is incommunication. So what are the results? I struggle with suffering, being able to offer it up out of love of God and others, I'm tempted to complain. But why would I? The generational curse can end here and now. Catholics who are aware of these things can work on combating evil. I teach the sixth generation, children aged 4-7. It's scary how so many have absolutely no sense of right or wrong, no idea that their behavior affects others, much less themselves! Over the last five years, the percentage of children with IEPs for behavioral and psychological issues has gone from about one or two out of 20, to being fully half my class! Some of their home lives are horror movies. But knowing nothing else, they think it's normal.

For me, 5 and 6 generations back was when the Potato Famine was ravishing Ireland and my ancestors. I wonder what generational spirit was involved? Also, I would be interested in hearing Father talk about what happened at the Vatican lately.

[@homewardbound8327]

It would be interesting to discover the generational spirts at play in past centuries. I know that interest in the occult was popular within some of those in the mid-to-late 19th century as well as in the era of the so-called "Lost Generation" Freemasonry as well as other similar groups were very popular in the late 19th to mid-20th century.

@@Peggyanns I'm mostly Irish, and I think I'm dealing with a generational spirit of sexual sin (masturbation, lust) and worldliness and free-spiritism. My ancestors immigrated to the US after the Potato Famine. You should disassociate entirely from Free Masonry, I will pray for you.

My parents were and are baby-boomers (Dad has passed), but always worked hard. They didn't become hippies, and their work ethics are so strong, I still can't keep up with. We were protestants (Baptists), but i converted to the Catholic Church at 21. My Granddad converted in the mid-60s, as Grandma was apparently raised a Catholic. I wish that my family (including grandparents) had had more communication and discussions about God.

20+ minutes discussion of post-WWII women ... you're describing my mother. I remember a few times when I tried to talk to her about something that was upsetting me only to have her snarl at me to "Offer it up." All I got out of that was, "Shut up. Your feelings are stupid and I don't care about them." It was only decades later that I learned the proper meaning, method, and blessing of offering up my sufferings and it starts with acknowledging they exist.

Spot on. St. Augustine said that the most corruptible appetite of man is his sexual faculties. Hence generational spirits find this an easy target and ultimately leads to other evils including murder and other unholy deaths.

It's hard to hear criticism of yourself, even harder to admit that it's true. GenX here and almost everything he said fits me and all the people I know to a t. Some of us grew out of it, some of us took a lot longer than others, but the spirit is still there if you don't fight it constantly. Sorry to all those in the generations who came after mine for failing you so hard, some of us are working to fix it.

[@Reepicheep-1]

Sometimes breaking of generational curses & oppression starts with one person saying, 'this behavior is wrong, I don't want to pass it on.' Hopefully their next step is to pray to exhibit the correct behavior, even if they don't know what that looks like. Generations continue in sin because they've never had a model of Godly behavior, or only had it exhibited by hypocrits.

[@alchemicalrelationship]

What about an abusive husband? My husband became incredibly abusive the more submissive and more virtuous I became the worse he became. He refused to suffer his own cross and wanted me to hold his suffering. He refused to go to church with me and our children. He used divide and conquer to control. The more I developed spiritually the worse he became. I was so tired of carrying the suffering for our relationship. In the beginning of our relationship him and his family seemed like a great Christian family. Come to find out through the grace of God I realized that his entire family doesn't want to suffer their cross and want scapegoats. I am generation X. My husband became a retarded soul and no matter how much love and suffering I carried he could not confront his demons.

[@marilizcooper]

Very insightful. I would add that Generation X is very different from Gen Y. Generation X, was I believe, the smallest generation, being the first generation of the pill, Roe v Wade, culturally acceptable divorce, latch key kids, AIDs, and the feminist movement. The Boomers danced with flowers in their hair, but we danced to punk rock and were fed John Hughes movies and MTV--much more apathy and cynicism than the boomers.

[@annakawano9886]

And many of us gen x ers were aborted.

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

Gen X and Gen Y (millennials) are also different in that at least gen X has lots of maturity and toughness whereas us millennials have about the worst case of arrested development and are soft, immature, and emotionally infantile. Gen Z has just gotten worse.
