Thank you, Father. My husband and I have 5 sons (so far) and we can use all the advice we can get in raising them to be virtuous men. We get no help from society so we NEED talks such as these. Keep 'em coming, please!
RIGHT ON!!! Lack of REAL men is epidemic in our society. So many women have had to take on familial authority because our men have abandoned their throne. Sad and exhausting and the cause of many divorces.
70% of women initiate divorces and 3/4 of those divorces are for financial purposes. Seems like every time there's masculine energy in an organization, women seek to destroy it: American corporate culture, academia, politics, Church leadership, and even fraternal organizations such as the Boy Scouts are feminized. So, ladies, do you want real men or weak men to control? Real men are out there, but we're not going to step up and get our lives ruined; we're tired of the abuse.
There are hard and difficult things that don't need to be done, but really most things that need to be done are hard and difficult in some way otherwise they'd already be done.
Tell it!👄 Fr Ripperger I want to thank God❕ for you and ALL your talks,sermons and videos. It's exciting when someone tells the truth and you do just that.😃PRAISE God!📣
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us oh Holy Mother of God, that we be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
The hardest for me of being the mother of a gay son (which you wouldn't know if you didn't know) is, "now what?" St. Monica's dedication to St. Augustine has become my focus.😊 He knows i don't condone the choice but i refuse to "disown him." What is the Church's stance on how we treat them versus Christ's judgement?
We continue to love gay people and treat them well. It doesn't mean we have to condone the behavior. Although serious, it's just like the other sins: Gluttony...we don't want to be mean to fat people, do we? But we don't want to feed them junk food either
Almost without exception every gay man was born to parents where Mom dominated Dad who acquiesced to Mom. Would it be open to a man, eg Fr Ripperger, observing the interaction between you and your son's father to conclude this dynamic existed in your relationship?
Does the content we are using the technology for change the nature of the use? For example, I spend hours on both my phone and iPad reading the Bible, and watching Fr. Rippenger, Bishop Barron, and other faith based, and non faith based educational videos. Am I not practicing temperance by diving headfirst into these subjects. My thirst for the Truth, and continuing to learn about my faith and the mysteries of God is unquenchable, however hearing Father Chad talk about curiosity being a sin and the gratification that comes with discovery and understanding, I’m now unsure if I’m learning the right way. Anyone have thoughts on the matter?
I think curiosity comes down to "eating what you can and can't chew" For example in my case, I've reverted back to the faith thanks to the many material I came across over the years in regards to our faith, however, I must also moderate myself especially during these days because of the tension that currently exists in the church *I hope you know what I mean*. I have to ask myself, is this helping me grow more as a person of Christ or am I just indulging myself in pleasure by hearing all these things. Because there's pleasure in feeding our intellect but we have to examine ourselves whether its helping us or it feeds into our tendencies for pride.
I have a really fast metabolism and I'm really active so I need to eat a lot but instead I could cut back on sweet junk and eat enough but eat healthier. Remember we're all different. Just because someone is bigger doesn't mean they aren't healthy disciplined. I'm thin and eat a lot but I could stand to eat better and be less slothful.
I physically matured late but matured emotionally early. my mom said it wasn't realistic to get married young in the name of the almighty dollar saying it was too expensive lead to poverty. Because that's more important then avoiding sin that's why there's so much fornication today.
There's so much fornication today because there's so little self-control. People don't even know what the virtues are, let alone exercise any. And Hollywood's been calling good evil & evil good for so long that people think those behaviors our ancestors recognized as virtue are bad now
When Fr. Ripperger talks about a wife can do prayers and penance for her husband to receive the grace to not be effeminate, is there a certain kind of prayer and penance? If so, could someone please just point me in the right direction to find them?
You are welcome, @@jennifer7648. Seems most Christian men have forgotten about St Joseph. Pray to the Holy Family, too. The feast of the Holy Family is coming up next Sunday.

@@churchmilitant1917thank you for recommending st Joseph 😌😌 I am 19 yrs old and still live with parent. Haven’t had a job for over half a year now. Out of highschool. I’m a huge loser. I lay around all day. God save me! Me and my friend did a Marian devotion starting Mother’s Day which brought such great grace. I had an idea to give me dad a consecration to st Joseph book for Father’s Day, talked about it to my mom and she suggested we do it as a family starting on Father’s Day. We didn’t. Now I’ve become more effeminate and slothful lazy and disobedient than I ever have been. God save me from myself. I’ve become a monster I’m sick of it
Is it too late for parents of teenagers who did not realize their responsibility in habituating their kids towards the good? The older the children get, the more important it is that a parent begins switching their role from being the authority that tells them what to do to being the source of counsel, why should he do what you're recommending he do? Explain the moral virtues in view of the wounds of original sin from which we all suffer, in view of salvation, and of their happiness. Fear - the emotion that arises as the result of the perception of a future evil that you're not going to be able to overcome. Shame - the fear of being perceived as lowly. Men growing in manliness: start doing the difficult things you've been avoiding or putting off, self-sacrifice, interior discipline, if office job start weightlifting or running or some type of exercise. Signs of the times - men wearing jewelry not out of some excellence, but out of being the pretty princess (center of attention, vice of singularity, effeminacy, sin of respect of others). Care more about the external appearance than about being. Unevenly yoked suggestions - give them Fr's conferences to listen to. Part of being a man is self-sufficiency - the problem with being tied to technology (dopamine leash), etc. Confession of mortal sins: lowest species, number, and context that may affect gravity. Anger/wrath - perception of injury (sensitivity) or woundedness Sensitivity isn't bad so long as it's ordered to virtue. Teenagers need to learn moderation with respect to drinking and right recreation at home. Fraternity of St. Peter - no more eating in between meals and no more video games. Punishment - order of justice with regards to God and with regards to the natural order. Penance and punishment. Discipline should NEVER be aimed at demeaning the person, its aim should be to inculcate the right order in the individual. If possible, punishment should be tied to the virtue opposite the vice they committed. Biretta - symbol of the authority to teach, sign of scholarship. Control of wife vs. right authority - the principle of subsidiarity - authority left at the lowest level necessary, not micromanaging every action. Typically, a sign of disordered interior life (in both men and women) manifests itself in trying to get control exteriorly over others. Rightly ordered authority people accept and may even like to submit to whereas the controlling manipulator usually begets rebellion or is hated by those under. Self-sufficiency - family is the basic unit of society and it is meant to fill for what we cannot accomplish on our own. A woman cannot be a wife and a mother to her children and at the same time be the provider for the family. It simply does not work. There's only so much that any given human being can do in 24 hours. Thus, one job will usually be done to the detriment of the other. It is the same with a man, he cannot both work a job and successfully maintain the upkeep of the home and of his children's education on his own. One task will always suffer at the expense of the other. Hence, why the complementarity between man and woman in the family unit is essential and the necessary foundation rock for civil society. There's always some degree of dependency. And it ought to be properly ordered. Handling family issues of abuse and addiction? Three layers - abuse causes damage/wounds. A. Abuse has to stop for healing to begin. B. Healing process spiritually and psychologically and C. Spiritual life needs to be set in order. Male coworker shirking responsibility. Do not affirm him in his effeminacy. Counsel if possible, and let him hang by his own work in front of the boss if he refuses to pick up his responsibilities.
When some women age, we tend to cut our hair. It isn’t self hatred, it is more that we don’t feel the need to now be overly concerned with appearance. We become comfortable enough not to have to worry about it, and we are no longer (many of us) in attracting the opposite sex. As a celibate woman, I am also a proud owner of a medium length head of gray hair. That is MY crown. If that’s unappealing to others, tough darts! I really think Fr Ripperger should have have made this distinction, or at least pointed it out. Also, some women cut their hair out of mortification and not self hatred....but I get what he’s saying....the shaved heads and severe cuts to appear masculine. I suppose it’s in the eye of the beholder, really.
Maria R how I took what he was saying is that there are women who cut their hair to look like men, butch type haircuts. Of course there are short feminine styles that are suited for women. I recall when my husband’s niece cut her hair like a man’s. I asked him, she kind of looks like she’s a lesbian, do you think...? Her appearance changed so drastically from a feminine shorter style to a man’s haircut. She also changed how she dressed. Well sure enough the next time we saw her she had brought her woman partner to a family function. I have long hair myself and I’m a stylist. There’s many women that I cut short, feminine styles for. My best guess, not enough time for Father to further clarify his thought.
@@anneofgreengables1619 And totally shallow and judgemental way of assessing a person’s character. What ever happened to Judge not that ye be not judged?
I'm old and have waist-length hair I keep in a braid. I always wear dresses. I get so much more respect from both men and women than when I had short hair and wore pants. It's my way of embracing my femininity and giving thanks to God for making me a female. I never understood old ladies cutting their hair short like they were obliged to and always felt sorry for their husband's.
24:53 - soviet union flooded american pornography industry with funds. And people think it's a great thing that infinite free is accessible to anyone with a computer. 27:58 watching tv daily - not great. but it's another thing if once in a while, 'you want to do a marathon of watching LOTR. ...' Thank you friar!!
Thulean, I agree, but what if she has no choice in the matter? I'm just curious as to what frequenters of this site think. What would be her best course of action? (I'm speaking of a young woman with no vocation to the religious life and no strong desire to marry.) Only serious, thinking Catholics need reply. Please, no rude, profane, or idiotic comments.
I fall into this category. I love my life, and I don’t have a religious vocation. There is, however, a vocation for the eremitic life, either recognised by the church (canon 603), or simply lived out with one’s usual daily duties and obligations. One doesn’t have to be recognised by canon law to actually live out a life, entirely, in celibacy, and with the proper attitude and motivation towards rules which those with vocations would ordinarily obey . For myself, it is Elijah, the Essenes..which means Carmelite. I am of Jewish, Druze and Gentile extraction, but raised Catholic. It makes entire sense that I would be drawn to Mt Carmel. A person may have a certain draw to a particular order, so find the rule for lay people...if there is one..and live it! Otherwise, just live according to their rule, in general.
Wait, so why is watching media okay for adults, but playing video games is not okay? How is playing chess every once in a while different from playing simple puzzle and strategy games?
It really isn’t. The same rules apply to both. The general rule of thumb when it comes to mastery of self is to ask what could you easily put down for a week and what couldn’t you? Whatever you can’t easily choose to put away is your master and effectively an Idol. For example I personally struggle with three things pretty much daily as it stands. Cola, Games and a burning distaste for anything remotely Protestant. I can put away the first two if I so choose, even though if I give them an inch those desires take a mile. As is the nature of sinfulness. It never stops with one action, one breach causes a cascade of structural failures. The third one though, that I struggle with daily. Even seeing a Protestant argument against Catholics activates ignites the violent parts of my brain. You know the 40k meme of purging heretics? Imagine that as an actual person and that’s the mindset I enter. Literally can’t stand it and I’m working on becoming more charitable towards them. I make jokes about it because the only alternative emotion is depression and that helps nobody, but it is a serious problem for the state of my soul. My hope and prayer is that I’ll overcome the desire for these crutches and attain truer holiness. I’ve overcome much greater darkness than these through the power of he who strengthens me. God bless. Ave Christus Rex. ✝️🇻🇦
So if molestation and abuse open the door to possession in the family spirit for generations than what about Baptism? Is that not a form of exorcism? Wouldn't subsequent generations be healed through Baptism?
As a victim of generational possessions as well - baptism started to heal and liberate but it s not enough. It´s long term thing- you need to grow in faith, lot of things need to be healed...
Why do you want your daughter to move out? It is not good to put a girl out of the house loose. It is so dangerous now. She can be sucked into a life that may destroy her. She may not have a prospect as there are no real men to marry in this society. Be careful with her.
Barbara Rickman I don't have a daughter, but I wouldn't require her to move out at 18 if I did. I ask because I moved out at age 18. It was simply "expected" of both male and female. Having grown up rather quickly in a challenging environment, I knew the results of a sinful life---friends and family being destroyed---thus I quite deliberately stayed away from the trash.
Okay. It was hard to understand what you meant. That was why I asked what I did. Congrats on a successful life. It would be a good thing to teach other singles how to live for Our Lord...alone.
I’m not sure, but this is my take and what a I’ve found.... No, they should not be forced out of the house. In fact there’s a catholic book still sold today but written in the early 1900’s that states young women should stay at home with their parents- because of all the supreme dangers to her womanhood that exist for those seeking the lure of independence and a wage. It’s crazy that this is not taught today but rather the church seems to preach the opposite: Send her to college. Let her earn a degree! She should have a job too! And of course the academia portion of this is not bad, and it’s truly a great asset for the woman to be skilled as such...but as we have already witnessed, this does nothing for the family unit, and nothing for the domestic growth of a young woman. What occurs is the woman has to learn and balance tasks of motherhood sort of on the side, like some crash course AFTER marriage. There is no preparation, or time spent preparing for what should be her main role in life. Her attentions are divided. Of course women can do this, but they can’t do it well. Or if they can somehow manage to do it well it comes at the cost of some sort of physical or emotional or spiritual expense. (And the kids and husband suffer as well). What I see occurring when young women leave home, get jobs, live on their own supporting themselves is this: They learn to live for themselves and not helping the members of their household, which they would be doing if they stay home until they are married. The transition is easier that way, rather than having 10 years of pleasing one’s self, self-governing without a head...and then suddenly thrust into a situation where she is no longer just listening to her own whims but has to now submit. Having a job, serving the public does not count as an exercise for domestic relations. Staying at home with the parents continues her God given role to supply those of her household as the role mandates. It’s not the same push as needed with a young male, but a young woman should not be slacking off while living there, but be as active and helpful to those of the household as if she were married. Yeah, I know that’s really unpopular opinion, but I would stake my life on it as the truth, because of what a I’ve witnessed and observed throughout my years. A lot of what I read from Catholic publications before Vat 2 state as such as well, so it’s not just my opinion. I am female, despite my screename, which is my surname. The way things are done today abuse, tarnish and neglect the gift that is woman. (As so are the gifts men bring too- which are wasted.)
What's with the stigma towards video games? how are they childish? so many modern "priests" are concerned with worldly things, and act like a pharisee.
Wow, I don't even know where to begin. So because Father wants you to be in the world and not of the world, because Father wants you to set aside worldly pleasures and concentrate on virtues that will actually be of some benefit to you and your family and friends, he's a Pharisee. It sounds like to me, that you needed to hear this and should probably get away from the video games and honestly, I can say that because I fell into the very same trap. Video games are highly addictive, they cause your brain to release chemicals that actually do the same things as opiates. So basically, making you a heroine addict. They are addictive because they stimulate the pleasure center of the brain. So basically making you a pleasure addict, that's a hedonist. Is Hedonism a virtue or a vice? Wake up, Anton Lover of Truth, I just gave you big dose of Truth, what are you going to do with it?
I am quite aware that video games have those properties so I try to control my time on them. Obviously , there is a difference between gaming and heroin use However, he admits he enjoys beer and TV. TV is, without a doubt, much more detrimental to your brain than gaming (except if it's educational). Video games help you cultivate strategy, critical thinking, etc. This "priest" denies the salvation dogma anyway, and he regards Francis, a man who praises paganism Judaism etc. as a real pope. He has his priorities messed up.
Anton Lover of Truth- He spoke about the problems of T.V., alcohol, games, porn and food. He at length dissected T.V., food, porn, alcohol and games and how we must be disciplined with them. You question why he dissected games but not the others. Do you understand why he dissected the others my friend?
You "Anton Lover of Truth" are the best example. Because, priests should (as Fr. Ripperberger does) sees how worldly things are inflicting many Christians. You dont seem to understand this. Which is the reason why you are (probably) more concerned about what a priest should think, than how you should act.
Thank you, Father. My husband and I have 5 sons (so far) and we can use all the advice we can get in raising them to be virtuous men. We get no help from society so we NEED talks such as these. Keep 'em coming, please!

@S. Peter Jack makes some good points. Weak women contribute to the creation of weak men. Both sexes are to blame.
It's not about doing things which are hard or difficult, its about doing things which need to be done.
There are hard and difficult things that don't need to be done, but really most things that need to be done are hard and difficult in some way otherwise they'd already be done.

What about a husband who prays and reads holy literature all night, and sleeps during the day?
Religiosity becomes a sin when one neglects one's duties according to their station in life
so many people are spiritual messes because of our culture.
Thulean, I agree, but what if she has no choice in the matter? I'm just curious as to what frequenters of this site think. What would be her best course of action? (I'm speaking of a young woman with no vocation to the religious life and no strong desire to marry.) Only serious, thinking Catholics need reply. Please, no rude, profane, or idiotic comments.
I fall into this category. I love my life, and I don’t have a religious vocation. There is, however, a vocation for the eremitic life, either recognised by the church (canon 603), or simply lived out with one’s usual daily duties and obligations. One doesn’t have to be recognised by canon law to actually live out a life, entirely, in celibacy, and with the proper attitude and motivation towards rules which those with vocations would ordinarily obey . For myself, it is Elijah, the Essenes..which means Carmelite. I am of Jewish, Druze and Gentile extraction, but raised Catholic. It makes entire sense that I would be drawn to Mt Carmel. A person
may have a certain draw to a particular order, so find the rule for lay people...if there is one..and live it! Otherwise, just live according to their rule, in general.
Not sure what the site is. Or Thulean. There is a third vocation tho, it's called being a consecrated virgin. Hope this helps.
Wait, so why is watching media okay for adults, but playing video games is not okay? How is playing chess every once in a while different from playing simple puzzle and strategy games?
Excellent comment.
It really isn’t. The same rules apply to both. The general rule of thumb when it comes to mastery of self is to ask what could you easily put down for a week and what couldn’t you? Whatever you can’t easily choose to put away is your master and effectively an Idol.
For example I personally struggle with three things pretty much daily as it stands. Cola, Games and a burning distaste for anything remotely Protestant. I can put away the first two if I so choose, even though if I give them an inch those desires take a mile. As is the nature of sinfulness. It never stops with one action, one breach causes a cascade of structural failures.
The third one though, that I struggle with daily. Even seeing a Protestant argument against Catholics activates ignites the violent parts of my brain. You know the 40k meme of purging heretics? Imagine that as an actual person and that’s the mindset I enter. Literally can’t stand it and I’m working on becoming more charitable towards them. I make jokes about it because the only alternative emotion is depression and that helps nobody, but it is a serious problem for the state of my soul. My hope and prayer is that I’ll overcome the desire for these crutches and attain truer holiness. I’ve overcome much greater darkness than these through the power of he who strengthens me. God bless.

I had that problem
he should talk about women who are attracted to effeminate men.
Pirates and earnings?
Are you showing the more reasonable man as having hair touch the collar at 17:00.
So if molestation and abuse open the door to possession in the family spirit for generations than what about Baptism? Is that not a form of exorcism? Wouldn't subsequent generations be healed through Baptism?
And what if molestation etc happened after the Baptism?
@@Christopher-yn3sk And what if molestation happens AT Baptism?
Stay close to God and these things won't happen to you.
no as someone who had generational curses in their family no you have to break them. baptism isn't enough.
As a victim of generational possessions as well - baptism started to heal and liberate but it s not enough. It´s long term thing- you need to grow in faith, lot of things need to be healed...
this is the most controversial topic of our generation

Is it appropriate for parents to require their daughters to move out at 18 if she has no marriage prospects?
Why do you want your daughter to move out? It is not good to put a girl out of the house loose. It is so dangerous now. She can be sucked into a life that may destroy her. She may not have a prospect as there are no real men to marry in this society. Be careful with her.
Barbara Rickman I don't have a daughter, but I wouldn't require her to move out at 18 if I did. I ask because I moved out at age 18. It was simply "expected" of both male and female. Having grown up rather quickly in a challenging environment, I knew the results of a sinful life---friends and family being destroyed---thus I quite deliberately stayed away from the trash.
Okay. It was hard to understand what you meant. That was why I asked what I did. Congrats on a successful life. It would be a good thing to teach other singles how to live for Our Lord...alone.
I’d say no.
I’m not sure, but this is my take and what a I’ve found....
No, they should not be forced out of the house. In fact there’s a catholic book still sold today but written in the early 1900’s that states young women should stay at home with their parents- because of all the supreme dangers to her womanhood that exist for those seeking the lure of independence and a wage. It’s crazy that this is not taught today but rather the church seems to preach the opposite: Send her to college. Let her earn a degree! She should have a job too! And of course the academia portion of this is not bad, and it’s truly a great asset for the woman to be skilled as such...but as we have already witnessed, this does nothing for the family unit, and nothing for the domestic growth of a young woman.
What occurs is the woman has to learn and balance tasks of motherhood sort of on the side, like some crash course AFTER marriage. There is no preparation, or time spent preparing for what should be her main role in life. Her attentions are divided. Of course women can do this, but they can’t do it well. Or if they can somehow manage to do it well it comes at the cost of some sort of physical or emotional or spiritual expense. (And the kids and husband suffer as well).
What I see occurring when young women leave home, get jobs, live on their own supporting themselves is this: They learn to live for themselves and not helping the members of their household, which they would be doing if they stay home until they are married. The transition is easier that way, rather than having 10 years of pleasing one’s self, self-governing without a head...and then suddenly thrust into a situation where she is no longer just listening to her own whims but has to now submit. Having a job, serving the public does not count as an exercise for domestic relations. Staying at home with the parents continues her God given role to supply those of her household as the role mandates. It’s not the same push as needed with a young male, but a young woman should not be slacking off while living there, but be as active and helpful to those of the household as if she were married.
Yeah, I know that’s really unpopular opinion, but I would stake my life on it as the truth, because of what a I’ve witnessed and observed throughout my years. A lot of what I read from Catholic publications before Vat 2 state as such as well, so it’s not just my opinion. I am female, despite my screename, which is my surname.
The way things are done today abuse, tarnish and neglect the gift that is woman. (As so are the gifts men bring too- which are wasted.)
I will NEVER cut my long hair I am a woman!
Stay strong, sister!

What's with the stigma towards video games? how are they childish? so many modern "priests" are concerned with worldly things, and act like a pharisee.
Wow, I don't even know where to begin. So because Father wants you to be in the world and not of the world, because Father wants you to set aside worldly pleasures and concentrate on virtues that will actually be of some benefit to you and your family and friends, he's a Pharisee. It sounds like to me, that you needed to hear this and should probably get away from the video games and honestly, I can say that because I fell into the very same trap. Video games are highly addictive, they cause your brain to release chemicals that actually do the same things as opiates. So basically, making you a heroine addict. They are addictive because they stimulate the pleasure center of the brain. So basically making you a pleasure addict, that's a hedonist. Is Hedonism a virtue or a vice? Wake up, Anton Lover of Truth, I just gave you big dose of Truth, what are you going to do with it?
I am quite aware that video games have those properties so I try to control my time on them. Obviously , there is a difference between gaming and heroin use However, he admits he enjoys beer and TV. TV is, without a doubt, much more detrimental to your brain than gaming (except if it's educational). Video games help you cultivate strategy, critical thinking, etc. This "priest" denies the salvation dogma anyway, and he regards Francis, a man who praises paganism Judaism etc. as a real pope. He has his priorities messed up.
Butthurt much?
Anton Lover of Truth- He spoke about the problems of T.V., alcohol, games, porn and food.
He at length dissected T.V., food, porn, alcohol and games and how we must be disciplined with them.
You question why he dissected games but not the others. Do you understand why he dissected the others my friend?
You "Anton Lover of Truth" are the best example. Because, priests should (as Fr. Ripperberger does) sees how worldly things are inflicting many Christians. You dont seem to understand this. Which is the reason why you are (probably) more concerned about what a priest should think, than how you should act.
