Why Remain Catholic? ~ Fr. Ripperger

[@kristinalumpkin6494]

My husband and I have been catholic for 2 years. I was born and raised pentecostal. My husband was nondenominational, but leaning more Southern Baptist. When we married, we bumped heads ALOT. It wasn't until my husband joined the U.S. Army, moving to Japan, we began to change. My husband, studying catholicism, lead us as a family to the Roman catholic church. I'm so grateful. I'm undeserving, unworthy but I thank God for my husband and the catholic church. God is good!

[@CIyphord]

Not to nitpick or argue semantics, but imo, the term "politically incorrect" ought to go away. Describing yourself that way pretty much admits that you yourself don't believe in your cause. You paint yourself as if you're in error. "I know it's politically incorrect but I don't think men should compete in women's sports". What's incorrect about that? Our current politics, that uphold sodomy, globalism and no fault divorce, are incorrect, not those of us who oppose these wicked things among many others. Communism is politically incorrect, and incorrect morally, as well as whatever other filter you run it through. Opposing it is not incorrect.

[@mzt5588]

I stay with the Church because of the Holy Eucharist and I will not abandon the Church when the need of faithful Catholics is never more important. Save the Church thru Adoration and praying the Rosary. Pray for priests. No priests, no Eucharist. 🙏🏻💒🙏🏻

[@1984SheepDog]

The orthodox also have the eucharist, but they're still not the true church.

[@wesleysimelane3423]

Hie Kathy The eucharist has nothing to do with the Christian gospel, nothing to do with the Christian life, and nothing to do with the Christian church. It rejects the true, biblical nature of God, Christ, sin, salvation, atonement, and forgiveness. It robs the cross of its meaning and replaces it with superficial, man-centered idolatry. It’s a lie, a fraud, and a damning fabrication that enslaves hearts and ushers people to hell. Scripture does not waver on the finality of Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf. He came to make a one-time offering for sin, never to be repeated. By denying the singular sacrifice of Christ, Catholicism imbues its illegitimate priesthood with artificial power and authority, enslaving its followers to a repetitious system of ineffective, ungodly offerings for sin. It’s essentially paganism sprinkled with enough Christian terminology to deceive and delude souls, convincing them Christ’s death on the cross was not enough to accomplish their salvation. In effect, the mass cancels out the real meaning of the cross

[@caroshunia7095]

@@wesleysimelane3423 hi Wesley if the Eucharist will lead Christians to the devil then why are there Eucharistic miracles only through the catholic church. God, Himself reveals Him to us through the process of Transfiguration. I see none of this in the protestant church or any church because it is pure heresy.

[@julieburck9613]

I am an adult convert. I came from a church (Presbyterian-PCA, same as Scott Hahn) where I was always around people who were convinced they were saved beyond any doubt, because so much emphasis was on "knowing the right things." So they could carry on these long debates about all these topics, yet they would sin (divorce, contraception, etc.) in their daily lives, but it was all ok. Then when they find out I converted to the RCC, they are certain I'm going to hell because I'm "doing things" to work out my salvation. Everything is completely reversed. They're away from the sacraments, but convinced they are 100% correct and 100% saved, while I am 100% in the True Church, but no longer convinced I'm saved (because my life is not over, and there's still work to do). But this talk is horrifying because my husband and family haven't converted (still Protestant) and so now I have extra urgency to continue to pray and ask God to use me to bring them home to the true Catholic Church. Tough teachings.

Father Ripperger, my heart hurts. Before my husband and I converted to catholicism, I had my fallopian tubes removed. I felt forced to have the surgery after my 5th baby. I knew it was wrong . At the time, as a protestant, I listened to my gynecologist, mother, grandmother and my husband. Now that my husband and I are Catholic converts, I have grief over this issue. I want to conceive so bad! I desire more children. I know God can do the impossible and bless me with another baby. I regret the surgery. I still have hopes that God will give me another baby supernaturally by His grace and mercy. I watch your videos. Thank you. From a Mississippian. God Bless You .

I also sadly learned that her rabid ecumenism was heretical as was her blind exaltation of Modernist JPII. EWTN is now controlled by corrupt bishops. I gave Mother Angelica credit for resisting the extreme perversions of Modernist heretics, however, she failed to realize the roots of Modernism could be traced to Vatican II and her beloved pope, JPII, was one of its architects.

I grew up in a country where catholicism is so foreign and currently find myself in a place where there is almost zero catholic presence, finding a thriving protestant church is even a mission. However, during Covid I had a bit of a damascus moment, I consumed loads catholic literature and my inner christian compass is has swung so far away from my protestant upbringing and theology, my eyes have been opened to church history. One could say my christian stars have aligned, and I feel a deeper connection to the apostles and the early church. Its actually become a bit of a healthy obsession, I feel like a dry sponge to water, trying to absorb as much catholic thought as possible. I'm craving the sacraments, praying the rosary (with convictions, was sketchy at first) and dreaming about receiving the eucharist. So now I've become a closet catholic, who attends attends a protestant church. Need to figure this thing out, not easy.

There's no humility or great reference for the Church and her sacraments.

[@violethart4828]

The burden of heretics, gets heavy

[@rosannerossi6376]

Who leaves? The ignorant and the weak. Hence, the previous reply to you. 🙄

[@j2muw667]

So many leave because they prefer the ‘easy’ wrong. Such as - married in the church, divorced and remarried civilly ... rather than get annulment to have a valid re-marriage.. leaving the Catholic Church and making excuses for protestant churches being filled with the Holy Spirit and how it ‘feels’... I admit there are many spiritless feeling catholic church’s full of people just going through the motions, that are sadly empty ‘feeling’.

[@violethart4828]

@asteinmann God bless you too. I will always be Catholic. But it’s time for a long sabbatical, I’m only 65. ☀️💛

To Whom else shall we go? Despite Her many serious problems, only the Catholic Church has “the real thing,” the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, the Real Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ, without Whom no one can be saved.

Apostolic succession - the Catholic Church (including orthodox) can trace their roots back to the apostles who were commissioned by Christ to bring His mercy to the world.

That intro... just mesmerizing 🙏

[@rbagala]

Two questions come to mind; Why remain a Catholic and why others oppose Catholicism. The second question touches on theology but not the history the Church. The basic opposition against the Trinity, Christ being the Son of God, the Apostles Creed, Confessional and the Holy Communion are easy to defend and easy to attack. The overwhelming opposition is against the Roman hierarchy, laws, Latin, and structure that Christianity and the Roman Empire adopted from each other. That aspect is constantly attacked and defended. Unless I am clear to my "Roman" Catholic history I cannot defend it. As for covid Mass has never been cancelled in the 2000 years of Catholic history, regardless of wars, famine, natural disaster or plagues. There are thousand of nuns and priests who work among the infectiously sick and poor where the Holy Sacrament of Communion is performed, yet for this rather benign virus Christmas Mass was cancelled, and in many nations Easter Mass was also cancelled. That should never have happened.

When St. Thomas says "motion," he means change, and going from one place to another is only one of many kinds of change.

53:52 I'm a 40 year old Maronite Catholic and that is the first time I have heard a proper explanation of the meaning of the 100 days, 200 days etc ... partial indulgences in the older prayer books. Why were we shortchanged after V2? It seems the bishops made it more difficult to access the spiritual treasury of the Church to assist me to satisfy my temporal debts due to my sins, not easier. Not very fatherly of them 😡

[@deebee533]

My thoughts on indulgences is... I am wondering where did they get these ideas that God will honor them? So I am not so worried about them taking them away. But since a lot of v2 looks wrong to me. And I was born in the early 60s. Am I wrong, who knows. I guess we will all find out in the end.

Bergoglio on Suicide “There was a time when they did not perform funerals for those that committed suicide because they had not continued on towards the goal; they ended the path when they wanted to. But I still respect the one who commits suicide; he is a person who could not overcome the contradictions in his life. I do not reject him.”

[@waynegabler6570]

When you take these two verse it shows that the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve that are not chosen to be alive for the 1,000 years will become alive 1,000 years later. That is how God determines who will live in New Jerusalem during the new earth era and who will make their homes outside of the city as stated in Isaiah:65. Re:20:4-5: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. To be killed by Jesus means a person is sent into 'great tribulation', the verses below show that people sent there are not sent to the fiery lake like unskilled teachers promote. Re:19:21: And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Re:7:9-17: After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Re:21:1-8: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
