I find what he says to be very informative. His job as an exorcist by its very nature requires him to keep a clean conscience, so that he can be effective in delivering others. I trust him and am grateful that he allows some of his talks to be recorded.

Well, I guess if Fr Chad was a priest here on Caf, he would be subject to disrespectul comments from members. Unlike Fr Ruggero who did not say anyhing unpopular and wasrespected by the community here. Gee, I wonder why?

People here keep on harping about not criticizing priests when they hemselves are doing it.

Fr Ripperger and Sensus Fidelium in a nutshell (he doesn’t run the channel himself):

He’s the most listenable voice on Sensus Fidelium, he is naturally abrasive, he is brilliant, he is very holy, he has considerably more hits than misses. He is FSSP. Harry Potter and yoga as commonly practiced in the US today are demonic. Watches Sean Hannity. Long on abuses of VII but seems to accept it. Doesn’t consider John Paul II to be the Bishop in white in the Fatima mysteries. Fractional reserve lending is fraud, Popes “can be heretics”.

Sensus Fidelium the channel is very hit and miss itself, and draws anywhere from pointless to terrible comments. Violently anti-VII, anti-Pope Francis, that sort of thing. For some maddening reason SF will call out the worst once in a great while but leaves most comment sections open. SF himself seems to deny evolution and I seem to recall he does not consider global warming particularly urgent.

Global warming is false, and I donot need to be forced to believe it. Al gore and the likes are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to this.
 
I was not passing judgment either way, just observing that position will be found on the channel
 
It’s not disrespectful to point out that some of his opinions are just that—and not Church teaching.
 
Yeah that’s about what I was going for, I threw it together kind of fast
 
Then it is also not wrong for me to point out that some priests who havee been here on Caf post comments that are condescending and incorrect opinions as well. Peace out.
 
I hadn’t heard of him either till he was featured at a retreat I went to a few months ago. He told some fascinating stories. I looked up on the web and found more fascinating stories by him.

People were standing in line for a really long time hoping to get to confess to him. I think they see him as sort of like Padre Pio. I drew the line there and confessed to some ordinary priest who didn’t have a long line.

There is a difference—first of all, Fr. Chad is a public figure who is the topic of the thread.

Secondly, I don’t think people have made the kind of disparaging comments you just made about another priest.

Third, people are speaking about specific Church teaching with which Fr. Chad is not necessarily in line. People should not watch his videos and assume whatever he says must be obeyed—I’ve given one example, other commenters have given others.

When a priest has a public platform, he’s open to respectful disagreement.

I was really surprised when an old sacristan who’s my friend told me an Italian priest who had known padre Pio for the better part of his youth worked for years in a parish not far from mine. And that priest had some real funny stories about being slightly temperamental at times like the saint was.

I’ve also had a certain urge to try an meet one of the officially appointed exorcists in a diocese not far from mine. I still want to go to mass with him one day(and I’ve heard a bunch of his homilies on youtube) but I think he must have lots of people needing to talk with him so I gave up on meeting him in favor of someone who might actually need to.

Something I really want to do once in my life is go to Rome and shake the pope’s hand 🙂 A friend of mine did so with a group of acquaintances (being received in papal audience) and apparently it isn’t hard and the pope makes a point of taking some of his time to let people come to him, and I think that is great 🙂
 
I have heard many audios by him and I like all of them. They all make sense and are in accord to the Roman Catecism I have been receiving.
 
Don Ruggero left CAF due to the disrespectful and downright hostile way he was treated .

I think we have lost Father David too.
 
I’ve never been one to meet my favorite celebrities. I don’t even go up and try to meet my favorite indie rockers or metal people unless they come up to me wanting to be friends. So I’m certainly not going to impose myself on the Pope. I got a photo of him from about 10 feet away, that was good enough for me especially since I had to wait for hours in the rain and not feeling very well in order to get it.

As for papal audiences where you’d get to meet him, I’m not connected enough to get in on that. Probably never will be.

Was Lydia married? Did she have children? Did she work from her home? Did her children go with her? Was it a family business? Businesses at that time were usually family businesses.

These are things we don’t know for sure and Fathers point about working women is, women neglecting their family responsibilities for their jobs. Their homes should always come first even if they have to work.

That is typically when listened to in context, what he is speaking of when he speaks of women with family working without a grave reason.

So, the difference for men would be NOT working without a grave reason. A husband and father is responsible for his family. There would need to be grave reasons why he doesn’t work. Yes, of course there are times when he can’t, (a grave reason) and the wife needs to step in and fill that role but that would be the exception not the rule.

He does have talks that address men and their roles as husbands and fathers.
