Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinner, now and at the hour of our death. Amen X3 for Fr. Ripperger.
Woo!!! Im speechless,. I have bees listening Father Ripperger for 7 year,he always bring me to different level and helps me. I have been buying his books too, and as a gifts for others. He is so good!!!!. I love every bit of it God bless him.💚💚💚💚
I just began the Holy Face Devotion after the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the blasphemy at the Olympic Games - it is a powerful devotion along with the Rosary
Dear Father, Thank you. Please note that I am doing very well on long-term anti-depressants. Without finding the right one, I would maybe continue as a very depressed person which God has saved me from. God allows me to have this prescription, ongoing, from the NHS psychiatrist. The medication is working for me, I believe. I am in the UK. God bless you, Father.
Have you tried eating clean? No chemicals, no preservatives, no processed food? This may be your issue. Also, there are lots of people who have ASD 1 and dont even know. This disorder has multiple traits that you may not even have considered. Just a thought
Per the psych drugs. We are not born short a pint of Prozac. The best thing to do is to work with a Functional MD to get to the root cause if you are in a state of grace. Whatever you do, don't take Benzos more than a few days/week. If I were on them (I was on them many years and had horrific w/d) I would follow Father's advice about a sloooow taper. But first get to the root cause of why the symptoms happened and heal that before any taper. Slow taper means 10% a month. God bless~
The last minute was the best I did not know about the Church Fathers' view on the 3 sacred languages inscribed on the cross. As an aside I highly recommend Johannes Quasten's four volume Patrology series.
Well i shall watch this video tomorrow afternoon mornings i like to have in prayers,its 9 11pm here so i shall take to my bed night night ,take cae and stay safe.
You know Fr Ripperger i was born in 1958 and my mom was Protestant and my dad was Catholic - and my mom and dad got married in the Catholic Church in 1956 - and they raised us Catholic- long story short, my mom brought me back to my Catholic faith later in my life - she bought me a rosary, sent it to me and sent me my dad’s rosary too - she was a Catholic her whole life yet never officially converted - thank you for your teaching and preaching ❤️🙏
I think it's very make sense not to go to the events (baptism, wedding and funeral) outside the Catholic church because we will share eternal life with God through Jesus's mystical body which is the catholic church.
I understand and I wasn’t planning on commenting until I read that a lot of people were thinking that they couldn’t pray with none Catholic’s. I felt called to give an answer to this.
I dont want to be alive when all this horror unfolds in the world. I am elderly and already have had a life filled with pain and trauma. I have health issues being currently investagated , i will refuse ant treatment that may prolong my life. Enough is enough !
I'm praying for you both! I feel the same way as a young person. I'm so afraid to bring a child into this godless, morally bankrupt world. I'll pray that you're both healthy and happy!
Oh, dear. I’m not clergy and fearing for my grandson’s salvation, I baptized him in the adoration chapel. I hope it will not take away my own salvation. I will go to confession. ✝️🙏🏽
Pray for Father Kevin Mohan, hes Pastor of 4 churches and several properties. They are all considered poor parishes. And hes trying so hard along with the older Priests and Monseigneur Hodges. Everyone is pulling together to have the love and respect for the Holy body, soul and divinity of Our Blessed Lord. Lord please help me to do what i can to heal your sacred heart that hurts from the pain I've inflicted on you. I am heart fully sorry because i offend you my God. I hurt the one who loves me the most. ✝️
What should one do if you’ve spent your entire adult life teaching Kindergarten and first grade in a “nondenominational” Christian school? There were no “worship,” meaning sacrifice or supreme honor in the Catholic sense. It was not a “church.” The school policy was to stick to the bare basics of the Bible, Christian moral principles and Bible stories, at least in the lower grades, no dogma. I did sit with the staff and faculty during the five minute morning prayers, all ad libbed, and if asked to lead, very rarely, prayed the Our Father, Glory Be, or to the Holy Spirit, “Come Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of thy faithful…” At lunch and snack time in my classroom, we prayed the Catholic prayers before and after. It wasn’t until about 2015 that it started to really bother me at times, meaning, I thought perhaps it was wrong altogether. From 1985-2005, I was not practicing the Catholic Faith although I’d been baptized Catholic as a baby, supposedly raised Catholic, came up through the cutting edge modernism with V2. I made my first confession, first communion, and much later, confirmation, went to novus ordo ultra modernist, often experimental mass every Sunday or Saturday evening “get it over with” mass, all while knowing next to nothing. I believed in God the Father, Jesus the Son, was not knowledgeable about Mary. I knew by heart, the Our Father, Hail Mary, Grace before meals, and bits and snatches of other mass prayers in English. When very young, like ages 2-4, I have memories of Mass in Latin when visiting my grandparents out of state. There was something I liked about it, a spirit of awe, not just “smells and bells.” I even thought of becoming a nun because I liked their habits and thought they were holy. By 2nd or 3rd grade, the church had completely changed. I gave up the idea of being a nun because I didn’t see any nuns. Every week, there was something different. There was no sense of God’s presence. I thought that was because I had imagined it because I was so young. The full novus ordo was implemented the year of my first communion. Going to Mass became just a thing decent people did, each according to their religious traditions. I received Our Lord having never heard of the Real Presence, the word “transubstantiation,” that Catholicism was the only true religion. Going to Confession didn’t happen again until I was 47 years of age in 2005. I spent the years between 18 and 47 seeking God, seeking Truth, in Protestantism. Name the Protestant denomination, and I’ve been there, with the exceptions of the really weird stuff. No JWs, Mormons, Universalists, etc. At age 47 in 2005, I found myself amazed to be back in the Catholic Church, but not the Church I’d left as an 18 year old, the Church I remembered as a 2-4 year old. What I discovered is that I did not “lose the Faith,” rather, I’d been deliberately deprived of the religion that my baptism was to instill. It’s been a growing process ever since. I’m now 63 and involuntary retired. (I got fired and lost my license, my school provided apartment, my retirement fund by two years, health benefits, decades worth of classroom and personal materials, because I refused Dr. Fauxi’s magic 💉.) It is only since about last November that I learned how strictly the Church drew the line between Catholics and Protestants. So now, I need to know what I should do about a lifetime career in four different quasi Protestant schools. I know I did a lot of natural good, but so far as graces towards Heaven, do I have zero? Please advise me on what to do. Is there a proscribed way to rectify the matter? If so, I need to know it. It would seem to me that God would not have brought me thus far only to lose my soul. I’m too old and not in good enough health to start over in a Catholic school. I’ve visited Catholic schools, and can honestly say that the Protestant schools not only have much higher moral standards and are ahead by leaps and bounds academically. Please give me some guidance on this. The two priests with whom I raised the issue both told me not to worry about it, wouldn’t even let me confess it! 😢
Lord Jesus Christ Son of God Have Mercy on me a sinner. May the Most Holy Theotokos Mary Save Us. 🙏 I wish I could help, and give you wise advice, to comfort you. I am just a 32 year old finishing a diploma in Medical Office Administration, after a sinful life of a drug addict. I've been clean 9 years and was raised as an Atheist. I'm now a catechumen in a local English/Pan-Slavic Orthodox Christian Church. I cannot be baptized until at least a year to three years of catechism classes 😢. I cannot partake in the Sacraments, including confession. I have anxiety about suddenly dying. I don't even get a guardian angel until baptism. Your Catholic faith offers you protection and you should be glad you were baptized at birth. God knows your heart. Good job on not getting the clot shott. My family didn't either.
Hi, I could relate to your story. I am 66 and taught in public schools, mostly middle school. I went from Pentecostal, to Plymouth brethren, to nondenominational Christian. Several years ago I started reading Catholic authors. I just started attending weekly mass. I haven’t gone through Rcia yet. When it comes to the things of the Lord sometimes I remember the saying, “Beginning, beginning, always beginning.” This is so true with prayer and appreciation of the mysteries of God.
What comes to mind is the parable of the good samaritan. I like Father R and I am Catholic. Many of the statements made are as man would make them and not God. If you in your heart were doing things to help and further them, let God take care of the spiritual implications and know in your heart you were being kind like the samaritan.

I’ve asked a trad priest about praying before meals with Protestants and he said it’s fine. My husband, myself and kids are the only Catholics in our entire family. If we left the room before our extended family prayed their prottie prayers it would be distasteful
My husband and I asked our FSSP priest about this. He said he and other Trad priests disagree on some of this. He said it's OK to go to a wedding or funeral if it would cause a rift in the family not to. He said something like just be a guest and not take part in their liturgy or pray aloud. So not sure whatcto think. We have 2 family weddings soon, both very close family and Protestant.
Also since the Catholic Church recognizes most Protestant baptisms as valid, why would it be wrong to attend? Our FSSP priest also said a wedding between 2 validity baptized Protestants was sacramental. So confusing!
@@rosaryworkout Jone says it’s ok with conditions and that’s a very reputable moral theology manual. I have never heard that a person could not attend a wedding between two never been Catholics before
Picture looks like when a thug tried to mug my grandmother in NYC. He pushed her over and she landed on top of her bag. She got him in the solar plexus with the heel of her shoe; knocked the wind out of him! By then, some people showed up and chased him down. Grandma pressed charges even though her injuries were minor. Turns out the guy had a lengthy criminal record of similar incidents and drug offenses.
I still would like some clarification on saying grace and bedtime prayers with protestants, because my father is a protestant and my family has always said grace and bedtime prayers with him. I am aware that engaging in protestant services is mortally sinful and have avoided participating in the services of the protestant side of my family, but I am unsure if grace and bedtime prayers would also be mortally sinful. My family eats meals together, and I'm not sure how I would go about not saying grace with him if it was the case.
@dorugoramon0518 Trent Horn wrote something about this in a post called ‘Some Clarity on Praying with Non-Catholics’. It seems there’s a difference between passive and active prayer, and praying in the presence of others rather than in communion with them. Saying an Our Father or other approved Catholic prayer seems to be ok… it’s a tricky one!
I went to a catechism class with SSPX and this very point came up. He said a group of protestants asked him to lead the prayer. So he did and said a hail Mary at the end. Of which they did not participate. He suggested you step in as the Catholic to lead the prayer and do as you would in the company of a Catholic. If they get really weird and start praying and saying heretical things then. Stand there I. Silence and don't join. @@boomct8569
Interesting.... I was put in situation where i "pray" with protestans (actually they pray for me) during that prayer i didnt join it because i was convinced that their prayers not in state of grace dont work. Some time later the Holy Spirit showed me that their prayers didn't work because i judged them, and rejected them.
What about of the priest teach the Luisa piccaretta s divine will ? Is that required to follow? That is good ?I also think that ,it is necessary to first remind the faithfull to pray arosary first. Because we have to pray the rosary everyday,to nourished our prayer life .They also practicing this Luisa Piccarretta s divine will Thank you for consideration s And God BlessYou Father Chad.🙏🙏🙏
The thing about Catholic things being used outside the church.... We use medals to remind us of holiness and ask for guidance of the ones depicted - They us crystals for power and healing, we use incense - they burn it at homes to cleanse their homes, we use candles - Yankee sells them for $30.00 a pop and they are used all the time, we pray -= they meditate... We call upon God - they call upon the universe (i don't understand that one. The universe is a place not a being) , we have scripture for wisdom - they use Buddha, we pray for direction - they read the stars and planets (that's ok for sailors!) Everyone wants peace of mind and searches for it vigorously but satan has replaced our things with his.
I may not be correctly understanding about Protestants using Catholic prayers. I attended a Methodist service, a Lutheran Service and an Anglican Service and they all use the exact prayers of consecration Catholics use. It sounded like it was lifted right out of our missal. I may be mistaken as these instances were a long time ago and may have even changed by now.
They say the words but are not ordained catholic priests and given the power to change the bread and wine into the actual body and blood of Christ . I went to the Lutheran church for many years and to them it’s a symbol not the real body and blood of Christ . Remember the last supper is also in the KJV of their bible.
I’ve found all kinds of stuff including money. There’s no evidence I was cursed by it! It wouldn’t generally occur to me something is cursed. If there’s something “off” about it, no, I’d just leave it. The only thing that comes to mind is a “dream catcher” hanging in a tree in a campsite I’d rented for my tent. I put it in the fireplace, dribbled some kerosene on it, and burned it. Nothing weird or scary happened. No demons shrieking, or gruesome beasts departing. I just knew they originated with Native American religions. Most people don’t use them in a religious manner, just as a decoration, but why take a chance?
I’m very worried that I’ve prayed with my Pentecostal father. I’m starting RCIA in September. My dad (who is “born again”) insists I’m wasnt saved until I prayed with him. I just thought “if it gives him peace then fine” but I’m really worried now.
Can someone ask Fr Ripperger to consider looking into the rise of pranic living worldwide and give a talk on it? Yoga gets covered so many times but this is something which is gaining worldwide popularity as well and is quite concerning.
yoga means “yoked” in sanskrit and is specific Hindu deity positions and NOT exercise as most Christians foolishly believe - The Holy Bible, Galatians 5.
This is the first I've heard about not praying with non- Catholics. I'll have to find that article, but it has me questioning. What about if we have non- Catholics come to Mass with us, for example my husband? Or if I asked him to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for me when I went into the hospital for surgery, in case it went bad and I was about to or did die? Their prayers are not good? I ssk for prayers from friends online, are they not good?
And you see that the Church and its people state things as a man would but not of God. Trust in God and Jesus and just as Jesus obeyed the laws of the times do that with the Catholic Church. However, many Catholics will probably meet Jesus and walk right by him. Some of the last will be first and the first last.
@mgm153 the shame of this is that as a cradle Catholic of nearly 56 years, I never heard of this and there have been prayers with other religions, maybe not in their churches, but in general public prayers. Ecumenical prayers, even St. Pope John Paul II partook in. The Church does change, so I am thinking that is why the Ecumenical prayers are part of the evolving Church.
You are lending the prayers. He is not stealing the prayers and admits they are Catholic. Relatives coming to church are guests. They aren’t stealing anything.
@ ~16’ - What do you think is the significant event that will happen to the Church in which grace will be withdrawn. Fr. R thinks he knows but then doesn’t say Removal of TLM? Changing of Mass again?
Does the prohibition for praying with non-catholics include the mealtime prayer? What about a family member (such as a parent) who isn't Catholic, but participates in the grace before family meals?
I think there should’ve been more depth to the conversation of praying or not praying with non-Catholics St. Alphonsus Liguori, a Catholic Bishop who said, “It is not permitted to be present at the sacred rites of infidels and heretics in such a way that you would be judged to be in communion with them” (Theologia Moralis). It is true divine law that prohibits active participation in non-Catholic rituals . . . and Vatican II’s declaration on ecumenism does not instruct believers to do that. It says: “Witness to the unity of the Church very generally forbids common worship to Christians, but the grace to be had from it sometimes commends this practice” The “common worship” being spoken of here should be understood as an endorsement of passive communion where attendees pray next to each other or share in a common, authorized prayer like the Our Father. Nothing in the Second Vatican Council contradicts earlier teachings that forbid Catholics from actively taking part in the unique aspects of non-Catholic worship services.

What I take from this is, I can pray with them on matters that are right and just in Catholic teachings like and doing it in a way that is right and just in the eyes of our lord. However I will not partake in communion, aka their wafer and juice or things that will not put me right with or lord or his teachings from scripture and tradition.
NEVER GIVE UP! My husband was a devout Christian when we married in the Catholic Church. He did not understand why Protestant believers did not believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist as stated in scripture- they took Everything else as fact. We met in a non-denominational charismatic church. I was hungry for God’s love. I was called a “holy roller” by my Catholic friends through my teenage years and early 20’s due to my devotion to the teachings of the Catholic Church. I NEEDED real friends who were committed to walking with God everyday. I found them in this non-denominational church. I finally began to believe that God loved me and wasn’t always disappointed in me. I always believed that God loved everyone else, but that He was disgusted and angry with me most of the time. (Years later, I discovered that this was more due to my parents’ relationship with me than with God’s.) I continued my work with Birthright for unborn children but stopped teaching CCD and singing at the guitar Mass. 18 years later, after I was diagnosed with cancer, I returned to the sacraments. I NEEDED the Holy Eucharist. We had 5 children at the time and my youngest was 5. 2 years later, my husband and 3 younger children came home to the Catholic Church. Within the following 2 years, our older 2 children received their sacraments. We both pray daily for our children and their families. (I know that my mother spent years praying and fasting for my return to the Catholic Church.) 4 of my children no longer practice their faith. Our hope is in God’s mercy and love for them. Our Blessed Mother encourages us to never give up on their souls. Prayers, fasting, the Holy Eucharist, and our daily devotions draw us closer to His Immaculate Heart. We are not alone. ❤
Pray for your husband conversion. 🙏 My husband came back to the church after praying for a long time. God hears our prayers and he answers. God bless you and your husband 🙏 ❤️
I read the article but is this something that can be changed like Catholics weren’t allowed to marry non-Catholics and now we can-especially it is up to 1939. Can someone help me get some clarification?
And how does Fr. r reconcile this text from Jone: 126. b) Passive attendance at non-Catholic services is allowed for a good reason, e.g., due to one's position or for politeness, provided the danger of perversion and scandal is precluded (C. 1258). Passive assistance implies that no part is taken in praying, singing, etc. Under these restrictions it is permissible to attend a heretical Baptism, a marriage or funeral service conducted in a non-Cath-olic church. It is sometimes lawful to attend a non-Catholic service through mere curiosity, if the sect has long been established in the place. ~ A servant may also accompany his or her employers to a non-Catholic service if asked to do so. Soldiers and prisoners may attend such services if commanded to do so for the sake of order, but not if ordered in odium fidei.
Hello Father, what if my daughter is marrying a man who isa student of the Jehova Witness group? My parish priest told me she will be in great sin and that group is a cult? He is not baptised.
What are you talking about, Walt was a part of the free masons, he knew what he was doing... dont be so silly. The evidence from the very beginning has always been there.
Maybe try this: click "more" in the grey description box below the video. After it expands, go towards the bottom, click "Show transcript". To the right of the screen, the transcript will show. It may not be a good transcript (auto-generated by TH-cam), but you can copy/paste the text into a translator.
I really wish you wouldn't show the image of the evil face and eyes on this video. It's very disturbing on a Catholic video. I can't look at these pictures.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinner, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Thank you Father. Very confusing times for me.
Good evening from Long Island NY.
Please pray for me.
Thank you Father Ripperger and Sensus team🙏
I didn't know about funerals. Thank you for sharing on that. I have not attended weddings, but I never put attending funerals in the same category.
TY Fr. Ripperger...
Beautiful, simply beautiful. Delivered with such clarity, thank you Fr Ripperger.
Dear Father, Thank you. Please note that I am doing very well on long-term anti-depressants. Without finding the right one, I would maybe continue as a very depressed person which God has saved me from. God allows me to have this prescription, ongoing, from the NHS psychiatrist. The medication is working for me, I believe. I am in the UK.
God bless you, Father.
Have you tried eating clean? No chemicals, no preservatives, no processed food? This may be your issue. Also, there are lots of people who have ASD 1 and dont even know. This disorder has multiple traits that you may not even have considered. Just a thought
Thank you all I love you! I’m so proud of you.
Go play💜💜🕊🕊

Your Catholic faith offers you protection and you should be glad you were baptized at birth. God knows your heart.
Good job on not getting the clot shott. My family didn't either.
I will say a prayer for you, 🙏☦️
Hi,
I could relate to your story. I am 66 and taught in public schools, mostly middle school. I went from Pentecostal, to Plymouth brethren, to nondenominational Christian. Several years ago I started reading Catholic authors. I just started attending weekly mass. I haven’t gone through Rcia yet. When it comes to the things of the Lord sometimes I remember the saying, “Beginning, beginning, always beginning.” This is so true with prayer and appreciation of the mysteries of God.
What comes to mind is the parable of the good samaritan. I like Father R and I am Catholic. Many of the statements made are as man would make them and not God. If you in your heart were doing things to help and further them, let God take care of the spiritual implications and know in your heart you were being kind like the samaritan.

I need to meet Ripperger!
I’ve asked a trad priest about praying before meals with Protestants and he said it’s fine. My husband, myself and kids are the only Catholics in our entire family. If we left the room before our extended family prayed their prottie prayers it would be distasteful
I have the same issue but we asked the Lord to bless the food. I think it's not praying with them
My husband and I asked our FSSP priest about this. He said he and other Trad priests disagree on some of this. He said it's OK to go to a wedding or funeral if it would cause a rift in the family not to. He said something like just be a guest and not take part in their liturgy or pray aloud. So not sure whatcto think. We have 2 family weddings soon, both very close family and Protestant.
Also since the Catholic Church recognizes most Protestant baptisms as valid, why would it be wrong to attend? Our FSSP priest also said a wedding between 2 validity baptized Protestants was sacramental. So confusing!
@@rosaryworkout Jone says it’s ok with conditions and that’s a very reputable moral theology manual.
I have never heard that a person could not attend a wedding between two never been Catholics before
@@rosaryworkoutyeh it's hard, same with funerals!
Picture looks like when a thug tried to mug my grandmother in NYC. He pushed her over and she landed on top of her bag. She got him in the solar plexus with the heel of her shoe; knocked the wind out of him! By then, some people showed up and chased him down. Grandma pressed charges even though her injuries were minor. Turns out the guy had a lengthy criminal record of similar incidents and drug offenses.
I hope your Grandma is ok. You both will be in my daily Rosaries.
Go grandma! 👵 ❤️ 🙌🏻 🦵🏻💪🏻
Glad she pressed charges! This kind of behavior deserves zero mercy or leniency.
I still would like some clarification on saying grace and bedtime prayers with protestants, because my father is a protestant and my family has always said grace and bedtime prayers with him. I am aware that engaging in protestant services is mortally sinful and have avoided participating in the services of the protestant side of my family, but I am unsure if grace and bedtime prayers would also be mortally sinful. My family eats meals together, and I'm not sure how I would go about not saying grace with him if it was the case.
@dorugoramon0518 Trent Horn wrote something about this in a post called ‘Some Clarity on Praying with Non-Catholics’. It seems there’s a difference between passive and active prayer, and praying in the presence of others rather than in communion with them. Saying an Our Father or other approved Catholic prayer seems to be ok… it’s a tricky one!
Private prayer with non-catholic family members is entirely different from participating in formal heretical worship.
I went to a catechism class with SSPX and this very point came up. He said a group of protestants asked him to lead the prayer. So he did and said a hail Mary at the end. Of which they did not participate.
He suggested you step in as the Catholic to lead the prayer and do as you would in the company of a Catholic. If they get really weird and start praying and saying heretical things then. Stand there I. Silence and don't join. @@boomct8569

16:40 I wish he told us!
Maybe the election in November ... 🤷♀️
I believe its complete ban on traditional latin mass 😓
I like the circle theory.
Interesting.... I was put in situation where i "pray" with protestans (actually they pray for me) during that prayer i didnt join it because i was convinced that their prayers not in state of grace dont work.
Some time later the Holy Spirit showed me that their prayers didn't work because i judged them, and rejected them.
What about of the priest teach the Luisa piccaretta s divine will ? Is that required to follow? That is good ?I also think that ,it is necessary to first remind the faithfull to pray arosary first. Because we have to pray the rosary everyday,to nourished our prayer life
.They also practicing this Luisa Piccarretta s divine will
Thank you for consideration s
And God BlessYou Father Chad.🙏🙏🙏

The thing about Catholic things being used outside the church.... We use medals to remind us of holiness and ask for guidance of the ones depicted - They us crystals for power and healing, we use incense - they burn it at homes to cleanse their homes, we use candles - Yankee sells them for $30.00 a pop and they are used all the time, we pray -= they meditate... We call upon God - they call upon the universe (i don't understand that one. The universe is a place not a being) , we have scripture for wisdom - they use Buddha, we pray for direction - they read the stars and planets (that's ok for sailors!) Everyone wants peace of mind and searches for it vigorously but satan has replaced our things with his.
I may not be correctly understanding about Protestants using Catholic prayers. I attended a Methodist service, a Lutheran Service and an Anglican Service and they all use the exact prayers of consecration Catholics use. It sounded like it was lifted right out of our missal. I may be mistaken as these instances were a long time ago and may have even changed by now.
They say the words but are not ordained catholic priests and given the power to change the bread and wine into the actual body and blood of Christ . I went to the Lutheran church for many years and to them it’s a symbol not the real body and blood of Christ . Remember the last supper is also in the KJV of their bible.
hi 😃
I’ve found all kinds of stuff including money. There’s no evidence I was cursed by it! It wouldn’t generally occur to me something is cursed. If there’s something “off” about it, no, I’d just leave it. The only thing that comes to mind is a “dream catcher” hanging in a tree in a campsite I’d rented for my tent. I put it in the fireplace, dribbled some kerosene on it, and burned it. Nothing weird or scary happened. No demons shrieking, or gruesome beasts departing. I just knew they originated with Native American religions. Most people don’t use them in a religious manner, just as a decoration, but why take a chance?
We may not be aware of the curse but we don't want to hook up with any unknown
How does one conduct oneself when a prayer before dinner with non-Catholic family members is made?
I’m very worried that I’ve prayed with my Pentecostal father. I’m starting RCIA in September. My dad (who is “born again”) insists I’m wasnt saved until I prayed with him. I just thought “if it gives him peace then fine” but I’m really worried now.
No need to worry, you were not aware of this new knowledge until now. Peace be with you❤
Can someone ask Fr Ripperger to consider looking into the rise of pranic living worldwide and give a talk on it? Yoga gets covered so many times but this is something which is gaining worldwide popularity as well and is quite concerning.
yoga means “yoked” in sanskrit and is specific Hindu deity positions and NOT exercise as most Christians foolishly believe - The Holy Bible, Galatians 5.
This is the first I've heard about not praying with non- Catholics. I'll have to find that article, but it has me questioning. What about if we have non- Catholics come to Mass with us, for example my husband? Or if I asked him to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for me when I went into the hospital for surgery, in case it went bad and I was about to or did die? Their prayers are not good? I ssk for prayers from friends online, are they not good?
And you see that the Church and its people state things as a man would but not of God. Trust in God and Jesus and just as Jesus obeyed the laws of the times do that with the Catholic Church. However, many Catholics will probably meet Jesus and walk right by him. Some of the last will be first and the first last.
@mgm153 the shame of this is that as a cradle Catholic of nearly 56 years, I never heard of this and there have been prayers with other religions, maybe not in their churches, but in general public prayers. Ecumenical prayers, even St. Pope John Paul II partook in. The Church does change, so I am thinking that is why the Ecumenical prayers are part of the evolving Church.
You are lending the prayers. He is not stealing the prayers and admits they are Catholic. Relatives coming to church are guests. They aren’t stealing anything.
@ ~16’ - What do you think is the significant event that will happen to the Church in which grace will be withdrawn. Fr. R thinks he knows but then doesn’t say
Removal of TLM?
Changing of Mass again?
Could be absolute ban on public TLM. Could be again changing words of consecration in NO to point of invalidity.
❤❤
Does the prohibition for praying with non-catholics include the mealtime prayer? What about a family member (such as a parent) who isn't Catholic, but participates in the grace before family meals?
No Disney. Never.
To all the unanswered questions, Fr. Ripperger is an Exorcist Priest and not fortune teller.
This sermon did not stay on topic but just talked about other things already covered in other sermons, like praying with protestants etc.
That’s because it’s the Q&A section from a conference, not a homily.
What about saying grace at Thanksgiving dinner or other meals with non-Catholic people? Is that a mortal sin?
I think there should’ve been more depth to the conversation of praying or not praying with non-Catholics
St. Alphonsus Liguori, a Catholic Bishop who said, “It is not permitted to be present at the sacred rites of infidels and heretics in such a way that you would be judged to be in communion with them” (Theologia Moralis).
It is true divine law that prohibits active participation in non-Catholic rituals . . . and Vatican II’s declaration on ecumenism does not instruct believers to do that. It says: “Witness to the unity of the Church very generally forbids common worship to Christians, but the grace to be had from it sometimes commends this practice”
The “common worship” being spoken of here should be understood as an endorsement of passive communion where attendees pray next to each other or share in a common, authorized prayer like the Our Father. Nothing in the Second Vatican Council contradicts earlier teachings that forbid Catholics from actively taking part in the unique aspects of non-Catholic worship services.

What I take from this is, I can pray with them on matters that are right and just in Catholic teachings like and doing it in a way that is right and just in the eyes of our lord. However I will not partake in communion, aka their wafer and juice or things that will not put me right with or lord or his teachings from scripture and tradition.
Fr. Ripperger was only answering all the questions put forward or him.
Sorry how do I pay ? I don't understand this policy ? I'm a bit afraid
Please make sure you all read the "penanceware" at the end and do what it says.. for every view or share.
So did Vatican II teach heresy since it taught branch theory and ecumenism not being mortal sin? How do we understand??
Yes! It’s full of heresy. Draw a conclusion from that.
Being in union with a proper Pope- I assume. What if the Pope or consecutive Popes become HERETICAL?
I made the mistake of marrying outside the church. Is it sinful to pray before meals with my non-Catholic spouse.?
You are planting a seed!!!!! I mean the GOOD SEED OF THE RIGHT FAITH AND THE ONLY WAY INTO HEAVEN!!
@@jellybelly7629Pray the Catholic grace.
Pray CATHOLIC prayers.
NEVER GIVE UP!
My husband was a devout Christian when we married in the Catholic Church. He did not understand why Protestant believers did not believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist as stated in scripture- they took Everything else as fact. We met in a non-denominational charismatic church. I was hungry for God’s love. I was called a “holy roller” by my Catholic friends through my teenage years and early 20’s due to my devotion to the teachings of the Catholic Church. I NEEDED real friends who were committed to walking with God everyday. I found them in this non-denominational church. I finally began to believe that God loved me and wasn’t always disappointed in me. I always believed that God loved everyone else, but that He was disgusted and angry with me most of the time. (Years later, I discovered that this was more due to my parents’ relationship with me than with God’s.)
I continued my work with Birthright for unborn children but stopped teaching CCD and singing at the guitar Mass.
18 years later, after I was diagnosed with cancer, I returned to the sacraments. I NEEDED the Holy Eucharist. We had 5 children at the time and my youngest was 5.
2 years later, my husband and 3 younger children came home to the Catholic Church. Within the following 2 years, our older 2 children received their sacraments.
We both pray daily for our children and their families. (I know that my mother spent years praying and fasting for my return to the Catholic Church.) 4 of my children no longer practice their faith.
Our hope is in God’s mercy and love for them. Our Blessed Mother encourages us to never give up on their souls. Prayers, fasting, the Holy Eucharist, and our daily devotions draw us closer to His Immaculate Heart.
We are not alone. ❤
Pray for your husband conversion. 🙏 My husband came back to the church after praying for a long time. God hears our prayers and he answers. God bless you and your husband 🙏 ❤️
I read the article but is this something that can be changed like Catholics weren’t allowed to marry non-Catholics and now we can-especially it is up to 1939.
Can someone help me get some clarification?
So about funerals… I
Couldn’t go to my Protestant parents funerals?
And how does Fr. r reconcile this text from Jone:
126. b) Passive attendance at non-Catholic services is allowed for a good reason, e.g., due to one's position or for politeness, provided the danger of perversion and scandal is precluded (C. 1258).
Passive assistance implies that no part is taken in praying, singing, etc.
Under these restrictions it is permissible to attend a heretical Baptism, a marriage or funeral service conducted in a non-Cath-olic church. It is sometimes lawful to attend a non-Catholic service through mere curiosity, if the sect has long been established in the place. ~ A servant may also accompany his or her employers to a non-Catholic service if asked to do so. Soldiers and prisoners may attend such services if commanded to do so for the sake of order, but not if ordered in odium fidei.
Oh. It’s like American principles: you’re not with America you’re not American
At 16:40 what does Fr. Ripperger think is coming down the pike?
Pray and stay in God's sanctifying grace, spiritual eyes will be opened to know.
I prayed the Rosary with non Catholic family members… was it wrong?
Hello Father, what if my daughter is marrying a man who isa student of the Jehova Witness group? My parish priest told me she will be in great sin and that group is a cult? He is not baptised.
Agree with the prist
Catechism says no mixed marriages.
Look up the sixth precept of the Church that Vatican II removed
Boycott Disney Walt is rolling in his grave abt what has happened to his company!!! Listen to our church!!!!
Disney was a Freemason. Pray for his soul. If he's in Hell, no pray is wasted, the prayer will be applied to another soul.
What are you talking about, Walt was a part of the free masons, he knew what he was doing... dont be so silly. The evidence from the very beginning has always been there.
Walt Disney was a freemason, sadly. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Can i pray with my kids and my sister. They are catholic but they are not currently practicing their faith?
I think you can pray with lapsed Catholics as they are all Baptized.
So what do you think of JPII praying with other faiths at Assisi in Italy, ditto Benedict XVI ?
I am Catholic and ethnically Jewish which is problematic
Jesus, Mary and Joseph were Jewish! The Apostles and St Paul were Jewish. Praise God that you are Catholic! ❤
Is this an old conference or a new one? I'm not talking about publishing.
New.

I know that I cannot attend a non Catholic wedding but can I attend the reception?
What does the reception celebrate?
What is meant by "...chapter 3"? @ 13:57
Chapter 3 in the Rite of Exorcism manual of the priests
She cursed Fr. Ripperger? Not very smart!
What deviation is there of the God of jews please?
I really wish you wouldn't show the image of the evil face and eyes on this video. It's very disturbing on a Catholic video. I can't look at these pictures.
Pray to Jesus, St.Michael the Archangel, Virgin Most Powerful, St. Joseph and your Guardian Angel, and fear no more.
It's better to know the Truth. A good Catholic is never a coward.
Thanks, I don’t want to either
Ppl need to be reminded how sinful this world has become. Boycott Disney for sure guys!!!
No gratuitous images of evil are necessary. We are familiar with the subject matter. I don't listen to this lecture to see images of evil.
white@ black tiles in the church? - this should NOT happen.
Ummmm but Father we shouldn’t eat human flesh regardless even if it “was for survival”…..!!!😅
