Father Ripperger, I'm the only Catholic in my whole family anywhere I know of coming into the church just 2 years ago at age 62. I love to hear the wisdom God has given you,you have been a blessing to me.
Sometimes, being set apart is for saving your family through this suffering of being cut off. In the world but Not of the world. Pray for your families healing, they really need to benefit from your Sacramental Life.
Doug, I am 62 too. My family is very Protestant as I was. I am thinking of becoming RC too. My wife and kids think I am crazy. My wife is anti catholic.
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.
@@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.
The suffering I experienced under my lukewarm Protestant baby boomer parents, aunt and uncle are what led me to the Catholic Church but I hope that my past suffering doesn’t prevent me from starting a family. Please pray for me
Don’t even go there! Never underestimate God’s Wisdom in your life and your parents. Lay it down at the foot of the Cross. Think of Life in the Divine Will, it’s Eternal. Forgive them, pray, don’t worry. Romans 8:28 and I’m praying for you and your family in my Eternal prayer basket! Paix Christi... Living The Eternal Life!
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.
Totally on target--I am 92 and I can see how these events have progressed over the decades. Those now in power are the fruits of the lost generation and will only get worse.
Pray for the new generation and pray for the ones seeking traditional values. There are a lot of us seeking. It is just not being published, because the media just creates this picture that everything is lost so others would succumb and don't see it possible to battle it and build different communities/families. But there are a lot of us wanting to make things differently. Please pray and maybe teach if you have the possibility and the will to do so.
It is 2023 and I am just now listening to this as I work from home. WOW. I am a woman who has no children, but man oh man, do I understand exactly what Fr. Ripperger is saying. Wow.
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 TH-cam than I ever have through familial support.
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
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.
Our God is a God who makes even our brokenness as our strength. Take courage and keep on walking. You never know your wounds /suffering can be a tool /kit of healing for someone. God bless!
@@lukebrasting5108 thank you Luke , I’m also a broken one in the family , Pentecostalism did more damage to me , and sadly , I was spiritually arrested and also powerfully brought back .. It’s soo difficult to articulate what I’m going Thru , but it’s sick and demonic , I began my calling about 10 years with horrendous effects and narcissistic demonic power of control .. Thanks for sharing , please pray for me too .. Hispanic male of 50 years old ..
@@carmenburgos1616 Are you in the Catholic Church? Gone thru good RCIA program if needed? Received Sacraments, go to Confession Mass, receive Communion? Do you pray the rosary daily, preferably with others? You and I have to do the work, not just ask others for prayers. We’re not helpless. Or hopeless. I’ll be praying for you, the holy souls in purgatory, those who are are dying each day that they accept Him at the time of death , and I ask that you pray for me to be consistent in doing what I want to do, and that your prayer life is also directed not only towards yourself but also for others God bless you. Keep looking forward-not back You are a new creation in Jesus Christ now-claim it & walk into it with the help of Jesus Christ and Blessed Mother Maryb
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 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.
@@cynthiacynthia1046 all we want is the truth! Trendiness comes across as inauthentic and Progressiveness comes across as Weak. No one wants to be in a group known as inauthentic and weak!
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.
@@loreforone924 you shouldn't despair. The lack of Teaching has create fertile ground for the Church. Live a moral and Catholic life, Have many Good, strong Catholic children and they will come. The same way all people come when they see the truth.
If you want a first hand account of how one of these generations was like (Gen Y, I think) look up the testimony of Fr. Don Calloway who lived the life to its fullest when he was a youth. Spine chilling. He's called now the "Poster Boy of the Divine Mercy" because how he got out of all that amoral lifestyle was a miracle.
I don’t think us Gen Xers are particularly unmotivated. My experience as well as my peers has generally been to watch our parents throw themselves into their careers at the expense of spending time with their children, usually to pursue bigger and better material goods. My wife and I went the opposite route. We’re thrifty, we bought a small house well below our price range, and we don’t build our entire lives around our careers. We actually spend time with our kids and guide their spiritual development far more closely.
Born in 1961, as of this year, I’ve been seeking the Catholic religion, this is not what I would have previously thought I’d do. Loving this journey so far, God is up to something. I know it❤🙏. And, discovered Fr. Ripperger, wow what a major God-send🫶🏼✌️
I'm watching this now, june 23 2020, and wow. Fr. Ripperger predicted this, thru Our Lord, and Our Savior Jesus Christ. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
Scary, right and you watched this a mere 78 days ago. It's gotten worse in a little over 2 months! Yesterday's videos about attacks on the elderly eating at an outdoor cafe because, of course, they couldn't eat INSIDE because of the "laws" in Democrat controlled cities, were some of the most frightening I've seen so far. Meanwhile, I saw a facebook post by a Hispanic lady who was riding her bicycle on the Vegas strip and was attacked. She didn't go through with signing the police report because she was afraid. FEAR. This video needs to go viral.
I’m tempted to be like “yeah, exactly! That’s why I’m so glad im not like the rest of my generation! Those other ones are all evil, but thank God im special” but instead im going to pray that God shows me the ways I really am like some of the bad qualities of all these generations, and the way to help him repair our broken society.
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.
I can’t get enough of Father Ripperger’s knowledge and Holy Wisdom ❤️ You feed me Father! I am so hungry for the truth, my parents didn’t teach me anything about out Catholic Faith. I feel like I will be the one who will learn and show my kids and grandchildren. Can I get your blessing, I’m hoping my husband will come to understand the sacrament of Marriage. Our son is 8 years old now. And I would love to get married in the Church. I want to give my son the Gift of Marriage. I do not want him to live with someone before Holy Marriage ❤️
Born in 74, and my parents were 1924 and 1933 and my mother ruled the house. It was so ridiculous. 😐 Nonetheless, we went to church and the Catholic religion was still instilled. I'm still practicing and my sister is.
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.
I am born in 1993 and my mother rules the house and everything is fucked up and I don't follow Catholicism and they only started going back to church because of my deep interest in philosophy and religions.
Gosh, I’m glad I was raised in a strict, religious household. Yes I have my defects (Gen Y here) but only the Lord knows how much more damaged I would be without a Christian foundation.
I hope and pray for the conversion of today’s children. Maybe they will, like some of the kids of the hippies of the 60s and 70s, grow up and long for the traditional family things because they never had them. God bless Fr. Ripperger
After seeing my 90 year old grandma show super catholic yet diabolic tainted behavior most of my life until she died it has been hard for me to understand sooooo much. Thank you for truth. Praise be to God..... You are a voice that helps so many.
Hi lavender , Hispanic male here of 50 , my fathers mother and father were strict Catholics , but from a posible not to educated in deeper Catholic life’s … These topics posibly were not so known back 70 years ago ..sadly in the island of Puerto Rico , the only denomination that is close to having some knowledge is the Pentecostal Church , but still sadly is not to helpful not many in the Catholic Church either , not to many wish to get involved in these realms .. is Good or have the knowledge .
Just read in stories about Beato Carlo Acutis that (if I am not wrong) Saint Francis Assisi appeared to his mother and said there will be generation of young saints like Carlo. Yeah I also rejoice to hear about it.
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 remember my mother always telling me, all my life the privations she “suffered” as a child - how poor her family was, how food was limited, how much work she had to do as a little girl. She was part of “ the greatest generation”.
Listening to Father Chad Ripperger is a real joy. Sometimes I think he knows everything. God bless you with more wisdom and knowledge and grace and great lectures. Deo gratias.
I got the Deliverance Prayers book. I haven't read it yet. I don't know why. I keep thinking about these generational spirits. I never realised they were real. I think there's something for me to discover. Now this video pops up. So here goes!
Thank you...I am gen X and married to a Boomer. I always wanted my Mom to talk about growing up in the 40's and 50's, but she didn't share much to my disappointment bc I was obsessed w the 1950s as a young teen. She grew up in an orphanage and on weekends was taken care of by her grandma. I don't know why her parents weren't able to take care of her or her 4 siblings...she died in 1991 and all but the youngest of her siblings have died. It had something to do with alcoholism I am sad to say.
This is excellent. Thank you Father RIPPENGER. May God pour out His graces to have all come back to the generation that will serve God as he deserves to be served. And loved as He should be loved, and to suffer for Him to bring glory to Our Heavenly Father.
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?
So far, I've listened to this 4x and probably will listen to it again. This talk has resonated completely for me. All my grandparents were immigrants from Europe and were born around 1890+ and -. I often tell my daughter that I feel absolutely lucky to have personally known relatives who grew up in times that were so much less materialistic and profoundly more religious than my own. I'm around Fr. Ripperger's age. Before it's too late, I would recommend that people from the older generations relay our observations and perspectives to the younger ones before it's too late.
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.
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.
Thank you, Fr. Ripperger, the best Educational in our secular World...,you could see them in our Catholic Church, their no resfect to one another. Not judgemental the way what going in our Catholic Church now a days.
31:07 "The baby boomers are hallmarked by an inability to be led. You can't correct them, you can't tell them anything." This is so incredibly true. There is now a long list of health, political, and other issues that history has proven me right about that I've tried to warn my Protestant boomer parents about. It doesn't matter how many times they're wrong, they don't humble themselves. Please pray for them.
Oh that’s get a cup of coffee with this guy. He puts to words that which I knew but couldn’t explain. 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.
Feminism was started before Marx Engels and Trotsky as children below the age of seven shivered and died in their mother's arms in the Great Potatoe Famine of Europe 1845 to 1847 as said in the La Salette Secret. Sweet Lord , Give us many holy priests. Allan
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.
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate. Amen.".
Completely unrelated, but I wanted to share. Millennial ('88) here. Listened to this on the first time i watered my new sod grass on my new manufactured home i purchased land plot. Going from on the street to years later with my head kept down, watering my own lawn. Never thought I'd be able to have a peaceful life. Fr. Ripperger, you have been in my ears for this first home i scraped and scrapped for, as i worked hard and tried to be pleasing to My Father in all ways whether fail or otherwise. Thank you, ajd thank you and God bless you for this channel. Post Scriptum: this knowledge of intergenerational demonic attachments that grow and exponentially build on eachother to not just atrengthen the nexts' vices but make them all they can know and pave the way for greater loss of knowing of the Lord and his Virtue.. this is all very interesting , again, thank you for recording this. Christ is Risen!
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.
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.
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!!
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
As a Gen-Xer, I have to play apologist: living during the Cold War, we were haunted by possible nuclear annihilation; living under second-wave feminism, we were confused about the family & relations between the sexes; and having been deprived of traditional religion by Vatican II , we are more detached from action, life, family life, &c.
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.
Great study, applied theology. Just wonderful explanatory commentary on God in flow of history. Thank you Father. The only trouble with this great video is that the questions and not clearly heard.
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.
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.
@@michaelegan3774 fasting , regimental prayer life , the rosary , litanies to the Holy Face , our lady ,st Joseph . With the sacraments , find a Latin mass . If you get into this way of being over time , I promise you those vices will be mastered.
@@brendanryan1852 Truly the sacraments and the mere act of joining the Church have already worked miracles for me, I’m now 20-22 months entirely free of any conscious impurity of flesh.
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.
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.
Wow, Fr. Ripperger, I just got 2 your books and discovered your videos only a few days ago, and I have gotten many huge insights already! THANK YOU Fr.
Loelle Forrester I use Hedgeye for work and was so incredibly happy to hear this and see it match up so well with Neil Howe’s work on generational cycles.
I have never heard anything like this before. It makes a lot of sense. No wonder we are such a mess. Of course everybody didn't have the exact experience however our environment does influence us. You have brought so much insight to what has happened to us all.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Fr. Ripperger just explained the complete break down of Human civilization in the last 130 years. This man is a spiritual Einstein!
Describes my 13 year old grandson perfectly
It’s because he is a exorcist. He has literally seen this behavior in the generations. Making him yes a spiritual Einstein.
He is super smart
Yes➖he truly is!

That would just make him a modern (though Traditional) Aquinas possibly, maybe
Father Ripperger, I'm the only Catholic in my whole family anywhere I know of coming into the church just 2 years ago at age 62. I love to hear the wisdom God has given you,you have been a blessing to me.
Amen! God Bless You Brother! I was Protestant and came into the Catholic faith 1 year ago Fr. Ripperger is indeed a wise.
Welcome to True Faith, Mr. Doug Persall.
Sometimes, being set apart is for saving your family through this suffering of being cut off. In the world but Not of the world. Pray for your families healing, they really need to benefit from your Sacramental Life.
God bless you, Doug!
Doug, I am 62 too. My family is very Protestant as I was. I am thinking of becoming RC too. My wife and kids think I am crazy. My wife is anti catholic.
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.
Wow, God bless you all.
May God help me with that too.
Can you please share what she taught you to protect yourself from the devils?
There’s no initial explanation to what a generational spirit is.
@@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.
The suffering I experienced under my lukewarm Protestant baby boomer parents, aunt and uncle are what led me to the Catholic Church but I hope that my past suffering doesn’t prevent me from starting a family. Please pray for me
Praying for God's will to be done to you in everything. And for the Holy family to be your guide.
Don’t even go there! Never underestimate God’s Wisdom in your life and your parents. Lay it down at the foot of the Cross.
Think of Life in the Divine Will, it’s Eternal. Forgive them, pray, don’t worry. Romans 8:28 and I’m praying for you and your family in my Eternal prayer basket! Paix Christi... Living The Eternal Life!
praying for you
Your past won't affect you keep moving forward 🙏🏻☺️👍🏻
@Debbie Gum yep me too my dad is agnostic/questioning the fact that he's just open shoes there's hope.
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.
Please pray for me..for conversion and holiness and healing...
ROMANS 12:1-2 - "TRANSFORMATION"
How are you doing five years after your statement?
I pray that you have been doing well. 🙏✝️❤
Totally on target--I am 92 and I can see how these events have progressed over the decades. Those now in power are the fruits of the lost generation and will only get worse.
Pray for the new generation and pray for the ones seeking traditional values.
There are a lot of us seeking. It is just not being published, because the media just creates this picture that everything is lost so others would succumb and don't see it possible to battle it and build different communities/families.
But there are a lot of us wanting to make things differently.
Please pray and maybe teach if you have the possibility and the will to do so.
God Bless your soul sir, so many years of wisdom!
Wonderful perspective, hope you are well 🌹
@@TheShamuraja scary TRUTH: Pope Francis is a Lutheran, freemason. AND he hates TLM 🌹
God bless you.
It is 2023 and I am just now listening to this as I work from home. WOW. I am a woman who has no children, but man oh man, do I understand exactly what Fr. Ripperger is saying. Wow.
This is why I like work from home. In this world today, I avoid the world at all cost.
I'm an employment specialist. Where do you work, might I ask?
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 TH-cam than I ever have through familial support.
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.
If parents & grandparents weren't important,they wouldn't exist.
@@carecc7191 I mean, yes. This is true. But it is also true that what parents do effects their children. We are not islands.
One hundred percent agree
Sadly, true. God bless you and your family
His torching of the "Greatest Generation" myth is epic.
This priest is brilliant. He explains things we know but cannot put into words. This should be shared over and over
Done ✅
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
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.
Our God is a God who makes even our brokenness as our strength. Take courage and keep on walking. You never know your wounds /suffering can be a tool /kit of healing for someone. God bless!

@@carmenburgos1616 Are you in the Catholic Church? Gone thru good RCIA program if needed? Received Sacraments, go to Confession Mass, receive Communion? Do you pray the rosary daily, preferably with others? You and I have to do the work, not just ask others for prayers. We’re not helpless. Or hopeless. I’ll be praying for you, the holy souls in purgatory, those who are are dying each day that they accept Him at the time of death , and I ask that you pray for me to be consistent in doing what I want to do, and that your prayer life is also directed not only towards yourself but also for others God bless you. Keep looking forward-not back You are a new creation in Jesus Christ now-claim it & walk into it with the help of Jesus Christ and Blessed Mother Maryb
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 wish Fr. Ripperger were a priest in my parish, don't you?
Father Ripperger is an extraordinary priest. God bless him. I always pray Hail Mary for him.
Antonio Haroldo V. Gomes Jr I love this guy!
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.
Exactly! I AGREE wholeheartedly!
@@cynthiacynthia1046 all we want is the truth! Trendiness comes across as inauthentic and Progressiveness comes across as Weak. No one wants to be in a group known as inauthentic and weak!
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.
Paganism has very good media promotion 💥
We can hardly compete. We will lose many.
AVE MARIA 🌹
@@loreforone924 you shouldn't despair. The lack of Teaching has create fertile ground for the Church. Live a moral and Catholic life, Have many Good, strong Catholic children and they will come. The same way all people come when they see the truth.
I want to be like Fr. Ripperger when I grow up.
Poor Father, talking about suffering while sniffling through a stinking cold. Brilliant conference, thankyou.
If you want a first hand account of how one of these generations was like (Gen Y, I think) look up the testimony of Fr. Don Calloway who lived the life to its fullest when he was a youth. Spine chilling. He's called now the "Poster Boy of the Divine Mercy" because how he got out of all that amoral lifestyle was a miracle.
Fr. Calloway is Gen-X, since he was born before the 1980s.
YES. Powerful testimony. Everyone can be saved. DEO GRATIAS 🌹
3 Hail Marys and love from Liverpool England
I don’t think us Gen Xers are particularly unmotivated. My experience as well as my peers has generally been to watch our parents throw themselves into their careers at the expense of spending time with their children, usually to pursue bigger and better material goods. My wife and I went the opposite route. We’re thrifty, we bought a small house well below our price range, and we don’t build our entire lives around our careers. We actually spend time with our kids and guide their spiritual development far more closely.
Totally agreed.
Born in 1961, as of this year, I’ve been seeking the Catholic religion, this is not what I would have previously thought I’d do. Loving this journey so far, God is up to something. I know it❤🙏. And, discovered Fr. Ripperger, wow what a major God-send🫶🏼✌️
I'm watching this now, june 23 2020, and wow. Fr. Ripperger predicted this, thru Our Lord, and Our Savior Jesus Christ. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
Scary, right and you watched this a mere 78 days ago. It's gotten worse in a little over 2 months! Yesterday's videos about attacks on the elderly eating at an outdoor cafe because, of course, they couldn't eat INSIDE because of the "laws" in Democrat controlled cities, were some of the most frightening I've seen so far.
Meanwhile, I saw a facebook post by a Hispanic lady who was riding her bicycle on the Vegas strip and was attacked. She didn't go through with signing the police report because she was afraid.
FEAR. This video needs to go viral.
"Divine Heart of Jesus,convert sinners,save the dying,set free the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen."
I’m tempted to be like “yeah, exactly! That’s why I’m so glad im not like the rest of my generation! Those other ones are all evil, but thank God im special” but instead im going to pray that God shows me the ways I really am like some of the bad qualities of all these generations, and the way to help him repair our broken society.
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.
@@ArielleVicMaxim thank you 🙏 I’ll try
I can’t get enough of Father Ripperger’s knowledge and Holy Wisdom ❤️ You feed me Father! I am so hungry for the truth, my parents didn’t teach me anything about out Catholic Faith. I feel like I will be the one who will learn and show my kids and grandchildren.
Can I get your blessing, I’m hoping my husband will come to understand the sacrament of Marriage.
Our son is 8 years old now. And I would love to get married in the Church. I want to give my son the Gift of Marriage. I do not want him to live with someone before Holy Marriage ❤️
Born in 74, and my parents were 1924 and 1933 and my mother ruled the house. It was so ridiculous. 😐 Nonetheless, we went to church and the Catholic religion was still instilled. I'm still practicing and my sister is.
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.
I am born in 1993 and my mother rules the house and everything is fucked up and I don't follow Catholicism and they only started going back to church because of my deep interest in philosophy and religions.

Gosh, I’m glad I was raised in a strict, religious household. Yes I have my defects (Gen Y here) but only the Lord knows how much more damaged I would be without a Christian foundation.
I hope and pray for the conversion of today’s children. Maybe they will, like some of the kids of the hippies of the 60s and 70s, grow up and long for the traditional family things because they never had them. God bless Fr. Ripperger

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 remember my mother always telling me, all my life the privations she “suffered” as a child - how poor her family was, how food was limited, how much work she had to do as a little girl. She was part of “ the greatest generation”.
Listening to Father Chad Ripperger is a real joy. Sometimes I think he knows everything. God bless you with more wisdom and knowledge and grace and great lectures.
Deo gratias.
O Lord come to our aid. Amen
"Complaining" is like a disease that destroys from within. "Suffering" held absolutely no value to so many.
I got the Deliverance Prayers book. I haven't read it yet. I don't know why. I keep thinking about these generational spirits. I never realised they were real. I think there's something for me to discover. Now this video pops up. So here goes!
Will sin abounds, Grace more abounds. Thank you Father for revealing these truths
Thank you...I am gen X and married to a Boomer. I always wanted my Mom to talk about growing up in the 40's and 50's, but she didn't share much to my disappointment bc I was obsessed w the 1950s as a young teen. She grew up in an orphanage and on weekends was taken care of by her grandma. I don't know why her parents weren't able to take care of her or her 4 siblings...she died in 1991 and all but the youngest of her siblings have died. It had something to do with alcoholism I am sad to say.
God gives you all the innate virtues you will need to find your way.
This is excellent. Thank you Father RIPPENGER. May God pour out His graces to have all come back to the generation that will serve God as he deserves to be served. And loved as He should be loved, and to suffer for Him to bring glory to Our Heavenly Father.
His joke at the girl who questions him is one of the fastest, smartes ones I've ever heard. His sermons are priceless.
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?
So far, I've listened to this 4x and probably will listen to it again. This talk has resonated completely for me. All my grandparents were immigrants from Europe and were born around 1890+ and -. I often tell my daughter that I feel absolutely lucky to have personally known relatives who grew up in times that were so much less materialistic and profoundly more religious than my own. I'm around Fr. Ripperger's age. Before it's too late, I would recommend that people from the older generations relay our observations and perspectives to the younger ones before it's too late.
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.
😢 so God will set it straight again and I suspect it will be very solid.
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.
I would pray continually as a child with no knowledge of the Lord, thank you Lord for bringing me into your Holy Church!
Welcome Home! 🙏✝️❤
Thank you, Fr. Ripperger, the best Educational in our secular World...,you could see them in our Catholic Church, their no resfect to one another. Not judgemental the way what going in our Catholic Church now a days.
I always listen to his podcast cause I learned a lot from it just wish that our generation will come to our sense one day
Thank you father you have made so much clear to me i am truly grateful . God bless and protect you.
31:07 "The baby boomers are hallmarked by an inability to be led. You can't correct them, you can't tell them anything."
This is so incredibly true. There is now a long list of health, political, and other issues that history has proven me right about that I've tried to warn my Protestant boomer parents about. It doesn't matter how many times they're wrong, they don't humble themselves. Please pray for them.
God bless you Father Ripperger
Lord, protect this man from evil.
MIND BLOWN!!! 🤯
Oh that’s get a cup of coffee with this guy.
He puts to words that which I knew but couldn’t explain. 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.
Feminism was started before Marx Engels and Trotsky as children below the age of seven shivered and died in their mother's arms in the Great Potatoe Famine of Europe 1845 to 1847 as said in the La Salette Secret.
Sweet Lord ,
Give us many holy priests.

Thank you Fr. Chad! Beautiful overview of what is happening through the years! Thank you for the enlightenment!
Thank you, Father and God bless!!!
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.
No one talks about it this way. Thank you. Very good.
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the
earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they
may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of
All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate. Amen.".
Thank you Fr. Ripperger for a very scholarly discussion on the downfall of a great country.
Completely unrelated, but I wanted to share. Millennial ('88) here. Listened to this on the first time i watered my new sod grass on my new manufactured home i purchased land plot. Going from on the street to years later with my head kept down, watering my own lawn. Never thought I'd be able to have a peaceful life. Fr. Ripperger, you have been in my ears for this first home i scraped and scrapped for, as i worked hard and tried to be pleasing to My Father in all ways whether fail or otherwise. Thank you, ajd thank you and God bless you for this channel.
Post Scriptum: this knowledge of intergenerational demonic attachments that grow and exponentially build on eachother to not just atrengthen the nexts' vices but make them all they can know and pave the way for greater loss of knowing of the Lord and his Virtue.. this is all very interesting , again, thank you for recording this.
Christ is Risen!
Congratulations on your hard work and keeping your eyes fixed on the LORD.
May God bless you abundantly.
🙏✝️❤
This is incredible! Explaining what I have observed with my parents the absolute denial of how they handled the church!
Fr. Ripperger is the Man! Hands down. End of story. Case closed. 🎉
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.
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.
I deeply appreciate the direct way you speak the truth. That and the way your talks have impacted my self and my family.
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!!
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
As a Gen-Xer, I have to play apologist: living during the Cold War, we were haunted by possible nuclear annihilation; living under second-wave feminism, we were confused about the family & relations between the sexes; and having been deprived of traditional religion by Vatican II , we are more detached from action, life, family life, &c.
This man Priest has my ultimate respect ...Thank You
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.
These have been the most interesting talks. Thank you. Penanceware done.
Great study, applied theology. Just wonderful explanatory commentary on God in flow of history. Thank you Father. The only trouble with this great video is that the questions and not clearly heard.
This is my 3rd time listening to this . I always need to be “ reminded “ of certain things.
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.
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.
Homeward Bound my mother’s father Scottish family where very involved in Free Masonry.
@@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.
@@michaelegan3774 fasting , regimental prayer life , the rosary , litanies to the Holy Face , our lady ,st Joseph . With the sacraments , find a Latin mass . If you get into this way of being over time , I promise you those vices will be mastered.
@@brendanryan1852 Truly the sacraments and the mere act of joining the Church have already worked miracles for me, I’m now 20-22 months entirely free of any conscious impurity of flesh.
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.
This is so interesting, thank you for sharing this very important video.
I’ve seen grandparents, parents, children and kiddos not attending mass or anything for that matter! It’s Truly a generational curse!
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.
Wow, Fr. Ripperger, I just got 2 your books and discovered your videos only a few days ago, and I have gotten many huge insights already! THANK YOU Fr.
Recommend “The Fourth Turning” by Strauss & Howe for more on the movement of the generations through history, particularly in America.
Loelle Forrester I use Hedgeye for work and was so incredibly happy to hear this and see it match up so well with Neil Howe’s work on generational cycles.
I have never heard anything like this before. It makes a lot of sense. No wonder we are such a mess. Of course everybody didn't have the exact experience however our environment does influence us. You have brought so much insight to what has happened to us all.
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.
Baby Boomer parents utterly failed at parenting. Pray for their Souls.
Watch the Dimond Bros video
"Death and the Journey into Hell."
I can recognize in this discussion, the fallacies that I was raised with.
We're not a democracy. We're a Republic. So there is hope.
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.
And many of us gen x ers were aborted.
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.
So much truth
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.
Sounds like a good ole case of Narcissism 😢
Thank you for this talk. It's very educational.
