Please pray for Exorcist, Father Chad Ripperger.
Personally, I have learned so much from his teaching over the years, and I am deeply grateful for his priestly witness and his deep knowledge of the faith. Please join me in praying for Fr. Ripperger and for the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother. 🙏🏻
Archbishop James Golka of Denver has asked Fr. Chad Ripperger to take a yearlong break from public speaking and interviews.
In a statement from the Archdiocese of Denver, communications director Kelly Clark said the archbishop asked him to “consider a one year fast” from public speaking and interviews, and that “the time will allow him to devote himself to the Society and to the people it serves.” The archdiocese says the two will review the arrangement together at the end of the year.
The statement did not clarify whether the request affects his other priestly duties or whether it is disciplinary in nature.
LifeSiteNews reported that Fr. Ripperger, founder of the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother, had already canceled several upcoming speaking engagements. He has reached millions through major podcast appearances, including interviews with Tucker Carlson and Shawn Ryan.
Ripperger, 61, was ordained in 1997 for the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, later founded the Doloran Fathers, and has served in the Denver archdiocese since 2016. After the 2016 death of Rome’s Chief Exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth, he became the English-speaking world’s best-known living exorcist. His books – Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity, Dominion, Introduction to the Science of Mental Health – have gone far and wide. Conference talks on Sensus Fidelium Sensus Fidelium and related channels have been watched for years.
