I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video at the age of 17. Even though no one taught me any of this during my childhood, I’m very grateful to have heard this before my childhood is over. Praise God!
I hope you're doing well and continuing your walk with God.
Pray daily and especially the rosary daily. And if you are ready to dive deeper into faith, read the Bible daily, and attend Mass at minimum on Sunday.
great to hear you say that, it gives me incredible hope.
God bless you young man I’m trying to teach my boys this stuff because they don’t have their father and my new husband their stepfather tries really hard but they don’t want to respect him. Which we are working on that daily!
I’m surprised a 17 year old is listening to an exorcist deconstruct demonic influence in our world. Good for you bud. Welcome to the resistance, and praise God above all other things.
Fr Ripperger, I think you just saved my life.
I hope he did. He most definitely changed mine.
Me too, but where do I go to lodge my complaint? (I'm not actually complaining, I'm just using a figure of speech) Well, OK, I AM complaining -- and here goes -- WHY THE HELL DID I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I'M 68.YEARS OLD TO FIND THIS STUFF OUT??? Second complaint: why isn't everyone in the world taught these principles from childhood? And a question: how do we get this, and the content of all of Father Ripperger's videos into our Catholic schools and pulpits? Thank you Father, you just took me by the hand and led me out of the land of the bewildered. Ten Hail Marys for you with all the strength I can muster. P. S. I remember someone saying that the most practical people in the world were the saints. The more I listen to your videos the better I understand that.
He is a saint. Changing many lives for Christ. He is a blessing in our times.
Fr Chad helped me big time..as did Michael Voris....Michael Matt....Fr James Altman......Fr Michael Rodriguez.....Fr Kalchik.....Anthony Stines....Fr Malachy Martin....Bishop Fulton Sheen....Fr Benedict Groschel....Bishop Vigano....and the restoring the faith 4 or 5.....and some more.....God bless everybody and their families....
VIVA CRISTO REY.....🙏🙏🙏👊
@@allahuakbar7717 your name seems rather unusual for a listener of a catholic priest's lecture.
One of my bosses once told me, God made you male, it's up to you to become a man.
Yes but some men have never been taught to be men.
Amen!
wise boss. lucky you.
My testosterone levels have raised by at least 500% just from listening to this in its entirety.
Hope you have Estrogen blockers too
🤣🤣
Thank you Father Ripperger. Amazing lecture as usual.
I’m listening to this, realizing that Fr. Ripperger is actually describing ME. Anyone reading this: PRAY FOR ME PLEASE
I feel you brother,all praise and glory to you and everything in your heart
The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
Amen.
The old you. Today a new day my friend.

I love it. "A real man is chaste."
God Bless you. Hope it gets around chastity is cool for men and women in this sad culture of death.
Catherine Yarton totally agree
"Culture of death" that's an accurate description.
Chastity is the most important virtue in my life. Masturbation and Fornication enslave a man to his passions, ruining his integrity. This is why I consecrated my chastity to the Blessed Virgin. Yes I still find women attractive, but I practice custody of my eyes and will remain chaste all my life if I don't marry anyone. Having said that, I learned this virtue late because my family isn't Catholic, and pornography pretty much ruined my teens. I studied in a Catholic school and after becoming Catholic, my life did a 180.
Yes. Just trying to remain chaste in today’s runaway adulterous society guarantees a struggle for anybody. It’s a struggle all Christians are called to.
I'm a young man and God changed my life through this talk. Share it far and wide, it rings true because it is!
Listening to videos is a good thing. But hearing a.good talk is just the first step. The goal for these type of faith videos is to draw us closer to Christ and His Church. Hopefully you are praying daily, (Rosary preferably), using the sacrament of confession and Going to Mass weekly. Then there is the Bible. But these tools/videos are to lead is into a daily relationship with God. Good luck.
Wow! This is 9 years ago.
More young people need this now more than ever!
Can you imagine what kind of a father he must of had to raise a man like Fr Ripperger, Rest his soul 🙏
1:02:40: " *Women who are really feminine take real delight in seeing a guy who's a real man.* And by real women I mean that they have self-possession and self-control, too. Whereas women who are feminists are miserable." (It goes the other way, too: Real men are attracted to truly feminine women.)
1:03:34: "The real problem with feminism is that it wants to ultimately destroy what is feminine. And that's sad because *what is feminine is beautiful* , not just physically but psychologically and morally. … One of the things they have to do is emasculate men so they don't feel so bad about themselves."
This will also mess families up big time
@@evaschroeder4020indeed, it already has.
I see promiscuity and seductivness are promoted as feminine nowadays, complete opposite of chastity and dignity…makes no sense to me.
This is true! ❤
This sermon is amazing. Saved my future marriage and children.
This is likely the most valuable content I have come across and is mandatory to incorporate into my life. Good luck to you too.
What happened in my life? The men were neither taught the value of virtues, suffering and self sacrifice. I fleshed out over 5 generations of abuse in forms of spiritual, sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse that approached depravity, and stopped the passing of it all through to my children by the Graces of God alone: the sixth generation is upon me alone still and I work daily for years in order to encourage my children to adopt these virtues and pass them on to their children; I taught them to pursue virtue in their lives growing up, without their dad or grandparents or really any support system from family. The video is great. Thank you for your insights. I am a firm believer in that any illness can be cured by practicing the virtues... you confirmed this for me.
"Feminism is self-hatred" Yes!
Effeminacy in men is also self hatred.
I still go back to this video from time to time, even after I watched it first years ago. True wisdom is timeless. God bless Fr Ripperger & all of us. Amen.
Been listening to this clip the last 24 hours so I can raise my son.
I'm a mom of three, one of them a boy... I loved this talk and translated it to my husband while listening! Thank you for posting... It served to teach our son AND our girls the meaning of true masculinity...
another home run from the great Father Ripperger!
Indeed
Even as an agnostic, I feel like I could watch this 100x and get 100 different nuggets out of it.
I’d highly recommend listening to more of Fr Ripperger and surrendering yourself to Christ. God wants you back, don’t wander around in the confusing fog of agnosticism, take the narrow path home
@@thesegundovolante you just can’t let people make their own choices now can you? You just have to go there and try to convert him. Pathetic.
@@motoxxyzf The only pathetic comment I see is Yours. Decision is always up to him/her, but encouragement is something we can offer to others. Nobody's forcing anything here but evangelisation is something every Christian is called to, so conversion is inseparable part of Christianity. So stick to Your own advice and let people live their lives as they want.
@@Myrtal2 yeah I’m encouraging everyone to leave their religion and grow up.
@@motoxxyzf "You just can't let people make their own choices now can you?" Look in the mirror buddy.
I have 2 teen boys and listening to this shows me my failings. But I need this.
You still have time.
Dr. Jordan Peterson stated that the current cultural climate, we’ve neutered ourselves while forcing women into a man’s world while we all sit back feed needless pleasure, he calls it Peter Pan syndrome and sadly most of us after generation X have it and it’s getting worse. Nowadays we bury ourselves in hedonistic baseless pleasure looking for something sustainable. I’m ready to invest in growing my own produce at home just to learn how to be completely self sustainable and give me something positive to do while also being able to reliably feed myself. Since society has given up on keeping masculinity in place, and actually fights us for having masculine traits men now just give up on society and now women are feeling the brunt of feminisms push to abolish natural gender norms. As men we feel fulfillment in working toward a positive goal like family and children. Women feel fulfilled in emotional and mental development of children or caregiving to elderly. Society is systematically destroying itself and blaming gender when it’s the opposite happening.
Some women do like working
I was raised by my Mom, she told me that I had to work if not my husband won’t respect me… barely taught any chores, it was constant put down and criticize. that is the first failure. I am trying to stand up on myself now. And raise my children. God sent me to hear Father Chad Ripperger’s word.
You are right, almost impossible to find man nowadays.
Best talk ever on masculinity! I wish I’d heard/learned this stuff 20 years ago when my boys were young.
Me, too 😢
Fr Chad was clearly himself well fathered. This is an amazing video. He and Jordan Peterson would share a lot of common ground.
Wow. This is the most enlightening thing I‘ve ever heard, there are so many layers to it... my Journey to becoming a Man of Integrity begins right now. I have felt something off and wrong about my life but I couldnt quite put the finger on it, now I know. I never truly felt as a man, because I wasnt acting or thinking like one. I was effeminate, I liked pleasure and comfort so much that it held me back from doing what I needed to be doing, but no more! I will raise myself to become a man.
powerfull,wish you you luck and courage
Praying that God will keep you on the path of accountability, and provide you wisdom on how to access your balanced authority and to affect those around you positively.
Thanks to you both 😊
Safe travels, man!
Yay!!!
This was 9 years ago and look at how much worse it's gotten.
I am a wife and, thank you, Jesus, am married to a real man of virtue. We have 3 daughters and a son. My youngest daughter recommended this video and it is chock full of TRUTH!!! I have taught Catholic middle school and high school for over 20 years and I have witnessed 1st hand SO much effeminacy in males...females are definitely part of the problem. Thank you Fr. for this video!! I am already using it in my Theology classes.
This sermon was held in 2014. Fr. Ripperger is truly a head of his time.
@Teresa d'Avila I will take a look at that book.
No, this is a problem that’s been happening since the 60s at least. He’s just the only person addressing it with such precision. I’m a woman, and I certify everything he said. It’s all true. I could never pinpoint why I am frustrated with today’s men, and that’s the reason why. He stated it all. I’ve had to be my own man and woman now for so long. I’m exhausted.
@@ntmn8444 Yeah he is great
It's been a problem since at least the 60s
Thanking God that I found this talk. I am a wife and mother of 3 + 1 in utero and I am so sick of hearing that I'm not a true trad wife because I "make" my husband change diapers and help with household work. First off, I don't make him. He's a true man and he goes out of his way to lighten my burden. Second, he would be neglecting us if he didn't help especially when I'm pregnant and struggling with nausea and exhaustion. In weaker moments I beat myself up and think "why can't I seem to do it all?" Believe me if I could cater to every whim of my husband and care for the home and the children at all times, I would but when I'm physically ill, it is all just too much for me. This talk really lifted a weight off my shoulders.
If you "cater to his every whim" then you would be making a soft, spoiled tyrant. This should not be a desire of a rational woman. As for what others say about your marriage, it is NONE of their business. Not all women, but far too many, are intrusive, interfering gossips. Your marriage is btw you, your husband and the Lord. Ask yourself why you are listening to women who are usurping their own roles?
@@margaretboyle8719 surprisingly the criticisms mostly come from trad men not trad women. I find that most moms get the struggle. But you're right - I shouldn't pay it any mind. I was just worried that maybe I was failing.
Amen!!! My husband pray for him he doesn’t think he had to help me
This video has changed my life! My boys and i will be incorporating "hard things" in our lives, starting with me, of course. God bless you Fr. Ripperger!
Father Ripperger is such a good man a real man. Teach them the way Father.
“ Men are designed for use as tools” One of my favorite lines. Definitely hard to find purpose/meaning in this society nowadays as a man when once upon a time we were out on the great plains hunting deer and plowing fields.. we used to run with the wolves man..
I think he said use OF tools.
God gave us the passion of doing meaningful work. The jobs we are stuck with today are soulless and heartbreaking. It’s either meaningless in the grand scheme of things, unfulfilling, and ungratifying. The modern world is simply fraught with too much simplicity and comfort to a fault. It’s good that we’ve made strides to make living less life threatening and allow more people to survive, but we’ve simultaneously removed any meaningful necessary struggle to contend with that give life meaning. Men are simply the first to feel it while women focus on all the comfort. Next women feel like men have changed and ignore the failings of a doomed society.
There is so much wisdom compressed in this one sermon. I'm not even a man of God these days, but there is more than enough wisdom here to respect it fully. Very well arranged, and delivered. Bravo.
Considering the state of the world men need to listen to this over and over again to fight the daily barrage of disordered ideology regarding manhood.
I wish I had good teaching and leadership like what Fr. Rippergerger is discussing here when I was a kid. I know that many of us merely had people say stuff at us, usually trite platitudes or empty aphoristic niceties, basically not trying at all or simply don't know anything so they say whatever sounds right to them.
Fr Ripperger changed my life permanently. All his talks and interviews are incredible. God bless you Fr. Ripperger
Wow I am impressed by this Priest's message. I am not a Catholic but this is a great message.
Listen to others, you‘ll understand why society is a mess today.
This is insightful. I’ve always wondered why I resented men in my past. I always felt like I had to be both the woman and the man in previous relationships. Fr. Is spot on when he says men today have no personality. So true. Also true, they don’t want to work for anything. They don’t understand what it means to sacrifice. Even good Catholic men fall into this trap. Back before I met my husband, I dated briefly a man who was by no means bad. He was gainfully employed, he had hobbies like traveling, etc. But he thought I was boring because instead of focusing on things I liked I was out working and saving and had bought an apartment at the time, and I told him honestly that I couldn’t afford to do much traveling, even though it is something I liked doing. He perceived me as boring because I wasn’t partaking in anything pleasurable at the time. No, I was busy trying to build a life for myself and trying to bring something to my future family. 🤷♀️ no matter, his loss. I’m with my husband now, and thanks to the sacrifices I made back then, we have a home and can save for something bigger now so we can have children.
The first one should have been more like you!
I find effeminism as defined here by Fr. Ripperger is closely related to narcissistic personality disorder. The maturity level of both disorders is extremely low - personal responsibility is nearly nil.
True, and both are disorders!
I'm a. Female who has always tried to take personal responsibility yet i would notice my emotions wpuld win out because God made men and women differently for a reason
Fr. Ripperger has a PhD is psychology. Check out his book «Introduction to the Science of Mental Health» sensustraditionis.org/psychology/
Also, he's coming at with a new book at some point on femininity and masculinity. It should bee good.
@@Geremia08 oh really??! I never knew! No wonder he knows so much. Thank you for sharing! I'd love to read it
Sigh…people need to stop overusing narcissism to explain away people’s behavior. It’s not as common as you think it is, and these are truly not the same. Typically, a narcissist develops this disorder because of childhood trauma. What the fr is explaining is the current phenomenon where boys are not being taught to be real men. They’re being overindulged in pleasurable things from a young age for whatever reason. Not exactly the same thing.
Please create 'playlists' on TH-cam grouping Videos that are related to the same subject (categories could include talks, marriage, chastity, virtues etc) Thank you!
God bless you father i agree with you a 10000% a lot of times wishing could have have raised a family in the middle ages
Great talk!! I’m glad he honestly addressed the fact that the priesthood is itself, overpopulated with effeminate men.
Except cardinal Sarah he seems very masculine
Thank you Father. I am a woman but listening to your homily helped me too. I find that the true dignity of a man is contained in his Soul. Through Baptism in our holy Catholic Faith our journey begins and by paying respect holy priests like you and others because without the priesthood our world would end! But we know it won't because of the "Glory Be"! The world may change but it won't end. I pray mankind changes for the better!
Finding these videos and the wisdom offered by Catholicism is probably the best thing that's happened in my life other than my marriage and becoming a parent.
I have learned more about what it means to be a man in this one talk then in my whole life (guess that tells you what a sorry state the world is in and the state I inflicted on myself).
Thank you, and God bless you!
This was one of the most informative hours of audio I've ever heard. Thank you very much
This video is life changing even for me as a woman! Wow! Just wow!
This is amazingly Beautiful. At my age I finally understand.
He’s an exorcist too!
I wonder why do we have very few good priests like Fr Chad Ripperger. It's truly a blessing from God we can learn the truth from THIS humble and great priest. Thanks a lot
Modernity has feminized the Church in such a way that clergy see Christ's humility, meekness, and mercy through a feminine lens; therefore, emulation of "Christ" actually produces femininity. This is why Christianity, in general, and Catholicism specifically, is often confusing and offputting to men. The challenge of our times is in reclaiming true masculinity and re ensconcing it into the Church's consciousness so that emulation of Christ actually produces true men.
We’ll i assume as an exorcist, he hears a ton of jargin and none sense demons spout to taunt him and the truths released by God through those sessions most likely allow him to see the influence of evil and failings of man in a much more obvious light.
I was just praying about this I am so burdened about my son thank you so much for sharing this!!!
GREAT! I need to prepare a talk for boys in Spanish and this comes just in time! Plus I get to understand many things now.
Jesse Romero may have some great Catholic talks in Spanish
Thank for this homily. Pure spiritual gold. Im raising 2 young boys and incorporating many valuable points in the family plan. Starting with building and practicing virtues daily.
All I learned, suffering and responsibility.
Thank you Father
This is a fantastic talk, not only for Father's of sons like I am, but for the Father's themselves like me. It's a good check on the chastity that even married men like me are called to.
Fr. Ripperger you are the best at what you know and do. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge.
This is hard. Admirable. Thank God men are so strong.
Many women would be more feminine if men would be more masculine. As an (always) single woman, I've had to acquire masculine traits in order to survive in this world. When no real men are to be found---which is most of the time---I have to do for myself. When the occasional man treats me like a woman, it is a pleasant surprise! I've been accused by traditional Catholics of both genders of being a feminist, yet, if I do not provide for myself, I'm said to be lazy! IMO, men and women, boys and girls are being raised(?) to be effeminate wimps.
I agree, I am a Traditional Catholic woman who has had to be her own man in life. Lost my dad as a baby, no man in the family stepped up to the plate for help or guidance. I had to fix my own bike, fight my own fights, do my own home repairs or it just would not be done otherwise. None of this can be done in a skirt. This carried over into adulthood where real men are impossible to find. Understood that I had to continue to do for myself and not buy into the fairy tale stuff. It's just a sad fact of modern life that women have had to "man up" in the absence of real men.
Marie Katherine
the same here .......depressing.
I've never a man described here ...
Marie Katherine. Ditto. Been single for way too many years, doing it on my own. Its been hard but by Gods grace Ive managed. Had relationships with men of weak moral values and character at times just so I wouldnt have to be alone or always doing for myself. The men Father R shares about Ive not really met. A few perhaps but they were taken. How I yearn for a real man of good character and virtue. I do admit that in my younger years I was not a well formed catholic and lived worldly so blame to rest on my shoulders for that time period. Lets offer up this disappointment for the conversion of men to their proper role as true men of God, masculine, spiritual leaders and protectors..
Marie Katherine
You are perfectly right.
As a masculine men I sometimes see strong reactions from women who I witnessed in interactions with other men to be more on the confident/knowing what she wants type of girl side.
Those women melt away when they witness a real man, so they are not feminist by choice, they merely adapt to their situation.
Not trying to brag here, I just want to give examples on how attraction should really be like.
Feminine woman+ masculine man = attraction
Everything else(Pick up techniques, etc) are just cope mechanisms for people that are not aligned with theis natural way of things.5

I'm so thankful for Fr. Ripperger, I love to listen to his talks, sooooo ooh much wisdom.. I've learned so much. I praise God for Fr. Chad Ripperger.
Great! I've learned a lot! Thanks for posting it!
I'm a mother of two sons (2 year old and one on the way) and I'm so grateful for this talk! 🙏 for Fr Ripperger
I’m listening to this for the second time and realizing that my dad was instrumental in giving me several of the masculine traits I have because I was his ‘little boy’ for a large part of my life. He gave me what I needed to raise my two children alone after a failed marriage. I’m grateful for his help and it actually kept me from remarrying and being on the wrong end of my faith. Just couldn’t find any male as strong as I was. Not so much physical, but integrity and not being afraid to do something that needed to be done.
Hasn’t been as bad as thought it was at times. God bless my dad for this training.
I love this guy. He addresses the plight of man head on with such clear eloquence.
God bless father Ripperger.
Dear Lord... I just discovered I'm more manly (concerning taking responsibility, dying to myself etc) than the men I'm surrounded by. I think I'll be alone forever..
Yes me too...it doesn 't mean your gona stay single. My husband is like a wife to me....😆😅😅😅😅
@@lida8433
Both of you should read "Fascinating Womanhood" by Hellen Andelin! She was a Mormon, but if you read it with a Catholic mind, it works wonders
I'll tell you what. I dunno where you are searching . But try going to different churches , attend meetings etc . Turn your entire free time to the church . For sure you'll find a proper man just casually strolling around. I'm 2 years late to this comment and I hope you found someone and are happily married . 👍👍
It is really crazy. I thought I was being hard on my husband. I make all decisions and it is so exhausting
Beware, that author recommends denying your husband the marital debt. She approaches the subject assuming that the husband is effeminate and disordered - counseling wives to pander to sensitive male pride and to deny him his conjugal right because (says she) he wants closeness with his wife merely for physical pleasure and she should impose "moderation" on him. I cannot imagine any traditional priest recommending such a book.
The best video I have come across on Masculinity, and I have watched quite a few on this subject.
Thank you, Father.
Edifying! Thank you Father. Your talk sure explains a lot. I wish I had this info back in the 60s and I am thankful that I am hearing it now.
Thank you so much!
This was absolutely wonderful! I would greatly appreciate one for women. How to raise a woman.
If man is raised properly the society will be in order. Problem solved!
There is one clip for woman.
Extraordinary. Thank you Fr.
Great lecture.
Fantastic talk, beautiful. God help us raise Godly men.
Many of these things are emblematic of my character.
Please pray for me, my brothers.
Pray the rosary. Do the angels prayers at 6, noon, and 6. At those exact time.
Thanx father RIpperger
Notes - How to Raise a Man:
Effeminacy - preferring your pleasure over doing the right thing or what is hard and difficult.
4 forms of effeminacy - sensual (food, lying around, etc.), appetitive (feelings), intellectual (i.e. seeking out pleasure instead of finding and resting in truth, being opinionated, a boundless curiosity that doesn't lead to clarity of judgment), and volitional (likes doing his own thing).
Using the authority as boss or husband to get others to do what is your job. Imposing your will out of insecurity.
*Destroys masculinity*
Anger - a sign of effeminacy - perception of injury and
Effeminacy vs. sloth - a disordered attachment to pleasure vs. an aversion to what is hard/difficult/meaningful
Adam & Eve - 8 vs 5 sins, respectively:
- They start off with integrity and then...
- Adam:
1. Chose to take in delight in his lower appetites contrary to reason.
2. Throws Eve under the bus, blames God and Eve instead of taking personal responsibility. Chooses the pleasure of not taking on the responsibility.
- Eve:
1. Trying to control her husband - sin of usurpation
Present society: desk jobs, technology (TV, phones, computer) - affects men more than women because of their biological drive for tools/abstract thought vs the biological drive for women being more driven towards persons/relationships. Also, generally speaking, male (visual) and female (sound).
What is the goal "real man" and how to get there?
Real man:
- Chastity vs. non-stop feeding the appetite of pleasure,
- Pursue the truth arrive at it and rest in it vs. taking the pleasure in the process - leads to excessive intellectual pride
- Man of virtue - pursues the great things (magnanimity vs. pusillanimous) - able to put away food, drink, pleasure.
- INTERIOR SELF-DISCIPLINE AND SELF-CONTROL - especially in the face of evil or pleasure.
- Submits to the truth regardless of how hard it is.
- Self-sacrifice - the one thing God wants of every creature to Himself.
- Master himself to be able to face the painful difficulties. In the end, this actually grants a sort of happiness at the end of a hard day of work.
- Protects his wife, especially from himself (chastity, purity, etc.) - guarding her physical, spiritual, etc.
- Attitude - what do I have to do to get this done?
- Maintain his authority in justice - in equanimity. Authority is given not for the person in authority, but for those under him.
- Prudence - application of moral principles in the concrete. Men should excel at this.
- The more a man thinks about things through his emotions, the more compromised will his judgment be.
- Able to stand and take in the hate/annoyances for the greater good of his family/others
- Humility - willingness to lead a life in accordance with the truth (opposite of pride)
HOW TO GET THERE - Maturity comes from the PAIN & SUFFERING of TAKING UP RESPONSIBILITIES. Thus, as parents, one should increasingly make them more accountable for their actions (reward & punish accordingly). Engage them in situations or activities that are physically, emotionally, and volitionally hard. Situations where they have to consistently self-deny. Show them the value of their hard work. Do NOT give them everything they want without them working for it. If the father is effeminate, monkey see monkey do. Moderated according to age and growth. He must be taught to moderate their anger. Technology should only be viewed as a tool, used only when necessary. Learn his value in contributing to the family. Father and mother emulating virtuous behavior for them. The problem of homeschooling - men at 16 begin rebelling against mothers. Docility, piety willing submission to their mothers to become virtuous.
GOAL BY 18: Taught what the virtues are and how to attain them, and how to obtain delight in them (remain steadfast in them). Proper moral and mental habits of having proper judgment, illumined by faith.
Recreation - engaging moderately in pleasure.
The Cross is actually an inversion of Adam and Eve - thorns, handkerchief
Why are women naturally more concerned than men of themselves?
Feminism is self-hatred. Being a woman and being a man is a perfection. They see as virtuous the destroying of masculinity to make themselves feel better. They also destroy feminity.
Freedom lies in interior self-discipline and self-control. This is only possible through growth in virtue. Thus, the aim of parents should be to inculcate the virtues (habits disposing the soul toward doing the good) until kids reach the age of majority. Letting children take on increasing levels of responsibility as they get closer to 18 with decreasing oversight, so that it's increasingly up to them to choose the good and embody what they've been taught.
Moral virtues (prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice (and their integral parts)) and theological virtues (faith, hope, and charity).
.
This is by far the most important lecture I've heard all year. My life would have been much easier if parents would have been grounded in the same principles. I'm going to watch this again to take notes so I can start working on each of these and integrating them. Thank you! This channel is such a blessing!
WHAT an Important message and Very providential that this video should show up in my feed today! So that I might share its message! TY Fr Ripperger, TY Sensus fidelium for bringing these teachings to the masses. and Always, Praise be to God
I Pray for you and ALL CATHOLIC CLERGY..Please pray for me Father..most UNWORTHY SERVANT to the FATHER ALMIGHTY..francis sullivan
This video put the right things at the right place !
And it makes you think about my failings and my good moves. These are these 2 questions: man? and woman?
which are the basis of many many things. Now things have become so complicated and mixed up that we can no longer talk about them.
It takes a certain amount of courage to speak about it publicly.
Bravo Father Ripperger, and Bravo to the Sensus Fidelium channel.
There are a lot of good things, healthy things that have become taboo and are still broadcast on this channel.
"A real man is chaste."
This is correct.
And there is some correct teaching here.
However, there is also wrong thinking in this video, and it's heartbreaking to witness as a deep admirer for Fr.'s other spiritual insights shared via Frs vocation.
Anyone who thinks a man's mission on this Earth is by design to sacrifice himself for a woman needs, to quote the Fr, "to be slapped around a fair bit". That very inclination to violence confesses an insularity from consequences of his own abuse-enabling sentiments shared.
A MAN'S PURPOSE is to
1) worship God
2) live in truth and follow his convictions (this includes doing hard and difficult things)
3) sacrifice himself for God and God alone.
THIS is how to raise a man, NOT some of the garbage shared herein.
Yes, in the sacrament of marriage that meaning looks similar to what he said.
But it is distinctly different:
1) ALL women, just like all men, are unworthy of such sacrifice. Anyone who has actually raised a son knows this without needing it explained to them.
If you marry a wrongheaded or abusive woman (newsflash conveniently celibate one: they're all right/ wrong to some extent, they can all be abusive at some point) you are presented with a choice as to the direction of your efforts/ sacrifice. As Fr. is clearly confused, he must restart here: NO ONE is put on this Earth for the purpose of being beaten - physically or otherwise, by anyone. NOT ONE. PERIOD. ANY hesitation to concur with this basic truth is evidence of evil.
The problem he points to (emasculation of men, effeminization, the loathing of manly presence, however you want to get there) yes it truly exists and needs addressing.
Sadly, the Fr.'s prescriptions on men's emotions are paid for by the blood of innocent men who cannot speak now to correct him.
Such disordered thinking is also precisely the basis on which
1) violent criminals are cultivated, and
2) for which vocational discriminations are made like "men should not be: psychologists, counselors; caregivers; writers, artists;" ALL of which the church has directly benefitted from having men do. Basically any work involving men being in touch with their emotions. This is unmitigated garbage and he should be ashamed to enable it.
Having grown up in a neighborhood of rampant violence, and knowing personally many prisoners and victims and how this form of stupidity helps crystalize boys' pain into men's criminality, I can say with expertise that we do not need to slap men around to toughen them up! How would Fr. feel about being slapped for promulgating that! That kind of chest puffing is how men get SHOT.
You have no idea how many promising young male lives have been senselessly snuffed out by such polluted and avoidable thinking.
Boys need to learn and men need to know how to fight for self defense.
But they NEED to use their words for disagreement. What a dishonorable pile of completely sheltered garbage paid for by the silence of innocent victims blood to suggest otherwise. That is precisely how we raise criminals.
This is a recommendation of death, not life. The priest's other insights notwithstanding, he is clearly distracted by/ infatuated with his own personal issues mistaken for insight and thus stands in error. His bishop will be made aware of his errors here. He must back off and reflect on his own parental ineptitude in his prescriptions for raising a man. And by the way, in case it's an issue, worshipping tradition (an apparent component of the thinking here) is no basis for building a policy. Shame on you, Fr. This is not how to address the current mens crisis.
Your recommendations open the door to all abuses from feminism, against which men must stand with dignity intact.
Violence as a response to disagreement?
Sacrifice for another human instead of for God? It is clearly time for you to reflect in isolation on your thesis' capacity for enabling evil. If I were your bishop, Id sentence you to 960 hours of community service serving in abused men's counseling centres in and out of prisons for the clearly ignorable counsel you present here.
Every man young and old needs to hear these timeless truths for the sake of saving our families and species!
There are soooo many issues Fr. Chad addresses here. It's totally amazing how he covered so many of them in 1:11!!!!
Excellent.😍
Thank you!!!!!thank you! ❤
I gave this a thumbs up.. I love Fr. Ripperger's intelligence. I don't like commenting on things such as these.. A lot of men I know are going through a Job(Biblical) experience and not a "Saint George" experience. A lot of men are just trying to get by.. Yes they have imperfections. I know a man who has a disability and can't work so the mother has taken up the bread-winning.. It is emasculating, but they get by. I know another man who was born a quadriplegic.. He was of sound mind mostly, but was emasculated because of his condition. A valiant man goes to war and serves his country comes back ashamed by what he had to do for the army and regrets it all because the war was not necessary but the media made it sound like it was and now he tries to inform others.. A man is homeless because of circumstances beyond his control and looking at his face you see his "nakedness". These are not one or two or three cases.. These are a lot of men just trying to get by and do the right thing. I'll end there..
Thank you
This was a great sermon again.
Excellent. This is amazing.
Excellent talk, Father!
Sending this to all my friends
Shouts out to Uncle E impeccable!
Outstanding lecture!
Elliot Hulse brought me here. This is life saving information.
Thanks!
This is outstanding!
I am not Christian but I agree so much with all of this and I didn't even realize these were the causes. It makes so much more sense now. I really believe that everything you are saying is true. I do value emotion in men but not all the time like you said. It is manly to be expressive (cry etc) because people could reject you for that but you do it anyway because it expresses your truth. It is brave to express your truth.
The U.S.M.C 2and marine div stormed the beaches of tarawa and got slaughtered whole sale..most went to mass on board their transports knowing what they were going into..THEY WERE MEN!! Thank YOU Father
No more brother wars.
Wow! Much of this can also apply to good Christian women as well.
Self sacrifice for the family and husband. And putting aside self pleasure in food, shopping, and image and such…
G-d said to Adam not to eat from the tree. Eve added to not even touch it. always wondered where touching it came from. Also, I held the light for my dad while he worked on the car in the dark and didn't know what certain tools looked like. That learns you real quick.
I need/needed this
Wow. I'm watching this nine years after he spoke this. How much farther down the drain culture has sunk.
True men are hard to find. That is why everyone ends up with a man who is a problem. I had to put my significant other in rehab and leave him there. Hopefully when he gets out and tests clean we can have a nice Catholic wedding.
No, addiction is going to part of his life and yours. Either prepare yourself for that or let him go
Bad move, marrying an addict? YOU CAN'T FIX THAT. You present as what I call a "Mabel enable". I come from an alcoholic family and know what I am talking about. Only a strong person of either sex, will drop the drugs, clean up his/her act and change. Maybe you are so deluded that you just want a "nice Catholic wedding". "Marry in haste, repent at leisure."
Addiction is something totally different from anything the Fr is speaking about. He has to want to change. If he doesn’t, you’re wasting your time and will only bring pain to yourself. Let him go. It’s not the same as being with a guy who plays video games a little too much. You can do better.
God bless you father! Thank you for the talk. Hail Mary full of Grace pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen.
