What does an exorcist do in his spare time? w/ Fr. Chad Ripperger | Chris Stefanick Show

Remember when we talked to Fr. Chad Ripperger? Those interviews blew up the internet! (The Catholic internet, at least.) Turns out, exorcists still fascinate people. But exorcists are real people too. What do they do for fun? How do they pray? And how do their parents react when they learn their son fights demons at his day job? Fr. Ripperger is back this week to answer all that - and more - including his favorite food, movie, and hobby!

Since Satan's greatest weapon is convincing people that he doesn't exist, I'd say a million people tuning in to know their enemy is pretty good.

And in the priests case it's claiming he can get rid of something that doesn't exist

I whole-heartedly agree!

[@bookenz101]

He literally saved me from Hell. My brother and I were going through some rough times spiritually (and morally). My brother put on a clip of Fr. Ripperger speaking on spiritual protection. We were non practising Catholics but when I listened to his talk I was instantly hooked. My brother and I began to watch Sensus Fidelium channel on youtube and by the grace of God and after several years combating sin we are both on the path of righteousness and living as practising Catholics.

[@albertafarmer8638]

All this roman catholic baloney! Every born again Christian has the authority to rebuke demons in the name of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST! Don't give them a foothold, destroy and get rid of every single occult item and practice in your home! Check out the Jack Chick gospel tracts!

[@sunshine-xy3nr]

I shared his talk every time.

Everyone please make sure to pray for Fr Ripperger and all our priests who are on the frontlines, they are way busier than they used to be and have a big target for it. May they always be protected by St Michael and Our Lady.

I'm a woman and would rather have steak than chocolate. :) I LOVE how Fr. Ripperger shares his knowledge about Mother Mary! I've always wanted to know so much more about her. I also wish I could know more about St. Joseph. Maybe Fr. Ripperger would ask Mary about St Joseph sometimes :) 28:38. I have learned that they can distract/control/confuse me easier through emotions, so if you feel compassion for them, they will string you along in a totally different path, to distract you from the right path.

[@j2muw667]

[@ritaking8827]

I’ve written so much down. I can see in my own life that I’m not doing everything I need to be doing and even the little things like naps instead of cleaning the bathroom, are causing me huge problems and through God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost and Mary I can stop this. What I’m trying to say is the things I’m not getting done because of that little voice that tells me I’m tired, you can do it later, isn’t my voice and it’s making the little things add up and eats away at my self confidence and it’s starting to add up to bigger things. Getting overwhelmed and hiding from the problem… what I’m trying to say is, it’s not an endless circle, or it doesn’t have to be. Consistent prayer, fasting, never chose the lesser Good. Moderation in all things. Don’t let them burn your time… ohhh my stress levels are going to have to go away now. I now know what’s going on! God Bless you Father Ripperger and Chris! I know this sounds like a little thing to talk about but it’s turned into a mountain in my life. It does not have to be praise be to God!

[@j2muw667]

I had a drill sgt tell me once: “ you can do the hard right, or easy wrong!” Often that sums up life choices pretty quickly! And then there’s St Tereses ‘little way’ offer up every little annoyance and small extra task!

Especially on weekends, I leave the PC connected to KZbin listening to "chant" to keep the demons out or at least at the "other end of a ten foot pole"! After listening and reading Fr. Ripperger, (especially Dominion and Introduction to the Science of Mental Health) I leave the PC on even when not at home.

[@maxe_faxe]

It's easy to understand his periodic wish to be relieved of this immense sacrifice and duty, and as he says, it is refused. God's plan for him is solid. Praise be to God for him, and that he speaks to us, that we may have a fuller understanding of His will.

[@frozenphoenix9502]

If every priest was like Fr. Ripperger I would totally have converted to Catholicism by now. From all the different priests I've seen on KZbin I don't think I've seen anyone able to explain the Catholic faith as well and convincingly as he does. Before I started watching his lectures I was basically agnostic leaning heavily towards atheism whereas now I'm not totally sure in terms of having "faith" but I'm more and more leaning towards it.

[@711TatianaR]

There are many wonderful traditional priests like him!! Most are very busy and don't have youtube videos :) Our priest is an ex-swot team leader and sheriff who converted to catholicism. The other priest is ex-navy who also converted to catholicism.

[@jennisnay4758]

Thank you so much for these videos. This is the 4th one I've watched today. I never considered throughout this process for it to be a way for God to help me strengthen in sanctification. I've been dealing with an incubus for 5 years. I was led to believe by the demons (I believe there's more than one) that I wasn't saved and was going to hell. I was baptized in 2004, but backslid in 2018, and recommitted in 2019 after the death of my bf. I have felt torment both physically, mentally and spiritually due to these demons. You've given me areas to work on spiritually in discipline. Thank you so much, and God Bless you! ✝️

Thanks, Fr Luke. People are hungry for God but they don't know how to find him. There is such a prejudice against the Catholic Church they tend to switch off when the Faith is even mentioned. And it's not just young people. The older, middle- aged and even very old are often as bad. I agree about the importance of witness and it has to be one's whole life, not just words here and there. God bless you.

Fr said with regard to demons messing with us that it's when we go for a stretch with them leaving us alone is when we get broadsided. I CAN SO RELATE. Also, Our Lady, Blessed Mother, Queen of Heaven, watch my flank too. Im not anywhere near as holy as Fr but I do pray for lots of fam n friends and often feel broadsided and messed with. Like right now as Im typing and lying in pain.

[@carolaivagedis9081]

Thank you Chris, especially with this so very important topic that you cover with Fr. Chad, some Catholics scoff at this topic in disbelief, but I have seen the diabolical long before I was Christian (found Christ at 40) and it's very real, and easily seen especially in the substance addicted individual who is basically an open portal to evil in so many ways. ✝️ God bless.

Excellent show, Chris. Your simple friendly manner and thoughtful questions bring out the best in guests. One thing: please can you get help with your DICTION. Forgive me, but you often slur words together, let your voice tail off, etc, and it gets hard to make out what you’re saying. For example I had to listen many times, slow the speed to .75x and even .5x,, and do a Google search before I understood your words about John MichaelTalbot and his “[Come to] the Quiet”-I could only catch “John” and “the Quiet”, and added “singing Scripture” for the search.

It would be interesting to hear Fr. Ripperger speak on the issue of natural law and diet. I've been trying the carnivore diet lately probably will continue to be mostly carnivore. I thought of this when he said that guys like steaks. In nature animals are pretty healthy if they eat there natural diet. Even if locked in a cage at the zoo. It's odd for humans to eat so many different things. I think it goes a against nature to a large extent.
