- Ryan Grant interviews Fr. Chad Ripperger, PhD, to answer objections to his teachings on the obligations of women to work at home, binding prayers, generational spirits, canon law on his book, etc. We also address objections in favor evolution stemming from modern Thomists, that St. Thomas teaches creation was accomplished with primary causes, as well as the sedi-privationalist argument of infallible security which stems into Amoris Laetitia. We also cover clerical celibacy and the consequences of changing this discipline. For more & the links mentioned please visit athanasiuscm.o...

I went to daycare and I can tell you I would have been a much happier child and healthier teenager if I had a stay at home mom.
The only thing that saved me from being scarred permanently by an emotionally abusive father was having a loving stay-at-home mum. She made a lot of sacrifices for me. It wasn't even a question of debate to her. She said mothers need to be with their children. And she grew up in the 50s. I know I would do exactly the same if married and with children. Right now I need to survive with no other financial help. I work to have food on my table, not because I desire a career. I'd give it up in a shot if were married because there is nothing I enjoy more than taking care of people.
@Dave Bronstein Hmmm... You could be right David,
Maybe, maybe not......

Dave, I know a guy whose parents are both professionals. He’s a a narcissist.
My wife and I have been married for 42 years in September. We had six healthy children and my wife dutifully stayed at home to look after them and me. This is the most important job in the world and through her diligent care our house became the hub of the extended family and provided emotional help and security far beyond our little home. We now have seventeen Grandchildren and one Greatgrandchild already!
Family love (and discipline) is the bedrock of a Christian society and nation - and guess where THAT starts.
During this time successive 'governments' and wicked 'laws' disguised as egalitarianism have tried to smash families and invert all goodness into error. This has spread misery and despair everywhere.
Protect yourself and family with true love, selflessness - and prayers to Our Lady and St. Joseph.
God bless you.
Thank you for protecting your family.
Stephen Cockett My mom and dad were married almost 60 years. My sweet father passed away in May. My mom was a stay at home mom and the fruits of the way I was raised have been on parade since my dad’s passing. Women who but these modern lies are going to severely regret their decisions later.
That's awesome
WELL SAID!
I am the oldest of 7 and was born in 1975. My mother stayed home (thank God) and received so much criticism from the women of the working world. Thank you my Lord Jesus for giving me a mother who was obedient to Your will💜
Michelle Belair I am glad you made that remark. I too was a stay at home mom in the 1970s and I so remember the criticism for doing so. I felt so isolated in doing so and that I was giving up on living as an adult.
I was surprised to hear from someone who said her grown daughter had said the same"mom why didn't you go to work". She was there for her children, she did all the afterschool activities driving etc, it is beyond understanding sometimes...
God bless you Suzanne Guiho for following God's will to be home with your children in spite of what the world dictated you should do, and I am sorry to know that you were hurting and feeling isolated. My mother, too, was extremely hurt by the insults. She felt like she was inadequate...like she had nothing to offer society, yet you both were doing one of the toughest jobs anyone could ever have! One only needs to look around now and see what a tragedy it was when women started entering the workforce (albeit there are some circumstances when a woman has to work), competing with men, and in some cases, even acting like men. It is so disordered, and the children truly suffer as a result since a great majority of them are in daycare (as Fr. Ripperger already mentioned). I am unable to have children, but I work with many women who do have them, and I would say 95 percent of them say they never wanted to return to work after their maternity leave (which is 1 year in Canada). Some have even quit to stay home. God's ways are better than ours, and may He bless you greatly for being obedient and for sacrificing your own needs for the needs of your family. Your children are blessed.
Michelle...I am 5 of 7 born in late 50s and mother stayed home. I tell her regularly how much I appreciate her willingness to do this for all of us. I too stayed home with my son and even though he’s in college now, I still stay home to take care of our home and my husband. I had a career, a degree, a paycheck etc. I would not trade a second of my stay at home job for all of that I left behind. My son has thanked me many times for not having to go to daycare and for being there for him through his childhood. We sacrificed much to do this and would do it again. God bless our mothers and fathers for sacrificing for their children.
H B - very well said.
Thank you so much. I'm a full time stay at home mum. I've been so criticized especially by working mum's. I was called lazy, useless, mocked at , i started doubting myself. But the Lord was there to strengthen especially through one of my friend , my husband. So thank you for encouraging someone like me . I've got 4 boys from 9 to 3. Thank you
you are so wonderful and respectable 💖 my mother took years of leave from her job to be with me, and I'm confident it's because of that that I can be a more devout and understanding person today, with stories of beautiful selfless saints rather than meaningless bed time stories, value for love rather than education and so on. I'm sure your children will be grateful to you their whole lives, even if they don't act like it
@@elsamascarenhas9327 thank you so much. I believe it's you God talking through Elsa. Just finishing praying and thinking about my mess when I see this message. Thank you so much. God bless you abundantly
Stay home it’s the most important thing you can do for your children they need you❤️🙏
Hang in there!! Since the start of feminism women have not supported each other. I worked, much was part time and as needed, but I’m a licensed professional. I struggled with it always. The few times I was full time home, I felt like I wasn’t doing my part and working moms looked down on me yet When I worked I didn’t fit in with the stay at home moms. There’s a jealousy, a bit on both sides. No one wins. My husband wanted me to work yet couldn’t handle it well. You’re doing the right thing. No regrets for you ❤
A stay-at-home mother of four 'lazy and useless?' Those working-mum critics are daft!
Thank you for upholding the dignity of motherhood and right of mothers to stay home to raise their children.
🙏 🙏
Staying home and looking after your children is the hardest job in the world. It's also the most rewarding, and most important. Regardless of finances I never left my children.
You are right, but if you have a husband who doesn't support you financially, you have no other choices
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Actually I had one who left and moved 5 houses above me to a new partner and her kid. We never got a penny from him. So I claimed social security and paid a baby sitter when my kids were in bed. It was tough but when they went to school I worked school hours, which meant when they were home so was I. It was difficult but we got there in the end.
@@kristincusick1342 It was for me, two of my kids have special need, tube feeds, kangaroo pump over night for around 18 months, my first child died, so I worried constantly, and slept very little, Mothering was easy for me, as I was the second eldest of 8 children, both parents worked, so myself and a sister a year older looked after the babies and toddlers. However, It was difficult for me, when 18 hours per day were for feeding and meds alone. I need to add I know many women who have found it so very difficult, but looking back they are glad they made that choice,, but they did struggle. I'm glad you didn't, but it's not a one size fits all deal.
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Yes I know
This just rings so true! I just could not bear to leave my kids with strangers, I stayed home, no career, and I am so happy that I did. For me it was a gut reaction.
That worked for you, and that's awesome. But us women who choose to work, shouldn't be made to feel bad. We deserve a career too. After our children are successfully on their way to adulthood. Each to their own.
You had a career. Mary’s career. The world didn’t recognize her works either. God bless you for all the joys and sacrifices you made.
Yes, me too! I knew once I was pregnant with my first child I could never leave them with a stranger!
@@jaggirl choose to work and leave your children with strangers is different than have to work. Im a dather of two and I work endless hours so my wife could stay with our children and nurture them and care for them un all things. Nothing is worth letting someone else raise your children. Unfortunately some peolle have no choice while others choose to have a career over their children. Theres no way to justify your argument. Sorry.
@S. Peter i didn't say I felt bad. I said we shouldn't be made to feel bad. But I get what you're saying.
I never worked until my children were older. No strangers babysat them. They were at school. And either picked up by me or my husband. Plus I chose to work. I was bored. It doesn't take all day to keep a home clean and tidy. Not if you have a routine.
Thanks for your comment..🌻
My mom was a single mom and was never home when I was a child. Though she had reason to work, I always felt deprived of my relationship with her! It's so important to be there for your kids.
If you can it's great.
But I bet you would have had a crappier life struggling, if she didn't work..
@@jaggirl love, values, and those bonds are always more important than a convenient life without them. a simple piece of plain bread with family is better than a sandwich all alone- at least in those years. people can always envious of what they dont have, but in the end joy is in love much more than it is in riches
Your mum must have been very anxious for you. I know I would be if I couldn't be there for my children. God bless.
At 51 years old and learning the true teaching of the Church in regards to women, wives and mothers, I feel robbed! I was blessed to have my Mom as a stay at home wife and mother. By the time I graduated, it was expected for women to do both by Society's terms. I wish I really knew and understood how important it was back then when I got married. Women are expected to do both and now I see the harm it has done all around.
I hated every moment I left my children at daycare. If I could go back, I’d lose my house and anything necessary to stay at home with them.
I agree
don't say that, you did/do what you have to do out of your love for them. you are a wonderful parent. I'm sure your children are so thankful for you
Aww bless you! You must be a fab parent to feel like this; your children are lucky!
May the good Lord prepare young people to become holy parents.
All of the things Fr. is tallking about is solid church teaching and all of our modern "problems" come from the Church's abandonment of these teachings!! The Roman Catholic Church MUST return to these teaching...ALL of these teachings! We must do it right now or the world and the church will be lost.
You think that if women work the world will be lost?
The Church will never be lost. It may be navigating turbulent waters, remember the Lord said he will be with us till the end of time!!
Stephanie Lane Jesus and God will be with us but not the Catholic church.What planet are you on? Churches all over are closing at an alarming rate...it s only a matter of time.
@@keetka99keetka24 Catholic churches may be closing (though the rate isn't necessarily alarming), but Protestant churches continue to fracture and spread, becoming viscous, thin, transparent and, ultimately, meaningless. All of Christendom is paring down, retracting upon itself, in preparation for the overflow of secular, confused, post-modern and socialist thought (despite the fact that the two don't really bond well; though, since no one is educated in philosophy anymore, this confusion isn't surprising). It's unwise to attack your brothers and sisters, especially your older brothers and sisters. 2,000+ years of being widowed by the culture is a pretty good track record.
Amen.
I bought into the “I am woman hear me roar” message in the 80s and as a result neither of our two children follow their Catholic faith. It took a chastisement from God, Holy Week 2015, to awaken me from my years of ignorance and cafeteria Catholicism and I say a prayer of unbinding every day before Mass and I pray for our adult children to come back to the Church. I also pray for my husband who for years allowed me to work at a job that took me away from our family and raised our children while I sought after worldly recognition. Jesus I trust in you.
Same sad story for me. Prayer is the only thing that helps.
After being abandoned , I had to put my baby boy in day care .
The anguish of leaving a child who is desperate for his mother to stay with him is indescribable .
OUR common grief was agony .
I pray God make up the difference in my son's soul . I know the BlessedbMother understands. She was grieved by losing her young boy for awhile , too .
Life's not easy .
God bless you both. God will heal your boy, and your heart. You sound like a wonderful mother. X
@@heatherelliot3202
Thank you , Heather .
God BLESS you . 🙏
Next time, find some kind of work where you can take him with you. You will find a way.
Right after Communion, I do the binding prayer. And believe me, this prayer does bind. I have noticed a huge difference in my life.✝️🙏🌝
God bless
Would this work for a spiritual communion? Many of us cannot get to a Mass, let alone receive Holy Communion right now.
Please, what is the binding prayer?
Binding prayers can be used to bind negative actions of demons against you and those under your dominion (such as your child). They can also be used to bind yourself and those under your dominion to desired heavenly virtues. Either way, it’s seriously effective spiritual warfare.
For specific binding prayers, I recommend getting Fr. Ripperger’s book, “Deliverance Prayers for the Laity.” It has a number of simple binding prayers that are quite easy to use. An example of binding a demon goes:“Spirit of N., I bind you in the Name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Cross, by the power of the most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael the Archangel, the blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul and all of the saints, and I command you to leave N. (Name of person or object) and go to the foot of the Holy Cross to receive your sentence, in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” The spirit of N. could be one of desperation, obsession, anxiety, depression, etc.
As for people not under your dominion, you can use the book to ask Jesus to bind the demons afflicting them, or bind them to virtues. Since we have both the ebook and paperback versions, I referred to them to help formulate this response.
Thanks for holding firm to the extreme value of mothers who raise their children!
I am glad I listened to the Holy Spirit, kept my kids at home. We ended with other problems but I did not regret not send my kids to day care.
I have Fr.Ripperger's book, "Deliverance Prayers For Use By The Laity", that they talk about. It's powerful stuff.
As I read these Post's it has occurred to me that some of us, I include myself, are rather reactionary. Fr Ripperger has previously said that if we react, we still have a way to go. So let's all pray for each other, and encourage each other, with language that instructs and advises to motivate our desire to repent. We don't want to drive other's away with perceived harshness and rigidity, but with genuine love, and a desire for the salvation of their soul's. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to guide our every word, lest we be accused of contributing to their demise!!
Amen.
1 John 4:11
My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.
Leven Pfvast I do totally agree, it's a deception of the evil one, and is reflected in these times, the result is all the disorder we are now witnessing. How I wish to again see a God given understanding of the different roles we were intended to perform, complimenting each other, with mutual respect, and a true understanding of authority and obedience. Then will we grow in virtue!!
Of course, people through no fault if their own, will often be in difficult circumstances having to make difficult decisions. There are virtuous people, living a holy God centered life, for which the aforementioned ideal is not option, and perhaps they too would prefer such an option. That's why it is so serious an error to judge. This journey is at time's very difficult for some, and in a way, we are not sure of God's will for other people, we can only instruct when we see obvious serious sin. We can't comment on the many and varied Way's married people conduct their lives, a wife may need to work if her husband is struggling with illness. Situation's like this may not be the way the family themselves wish it to be, we don't know though that through heroic endurance, many God given Grace's will be their reward for enduring this trial!!
Exactly, Stephanie. I do think Fr. Ripperger does not understand the extreme stresses on families. His advice is still sound....just that some families (as mine and yours) are going through very great trials. God bless. Stay close to Our Mother. Honestly, I don't think families have ever faced such trials and assaults as today. I often feel abandoned by God. Hang in there.
John Ruplinger Thank you, it's true these are the times when the family is under attack! Your right, we need to stay firm in our faith, and stay close to our Holy Mother!! I try to remember, God won't try us beyond our ability to cope!! I will pray for your family, nothing is impossible for God, we can place our trust in Him!
Father, as a convert from the Methodist church, you are absolutely correct about the problems we would face if priests married. You said it all when you explained the roles of husbands and wives in the sacrament of marriage. There would not be room for the parish or there wouldn’t be room for the family. When a pastor and his wife divorce it ruins their flock and splits it down the middle. If the pastor is having an affair with another church member, families are ruined as is the church. The traditions of our Catholic faith are from God for our benefit and happiness. Your inspired knowledge is a blessing to us, Father! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Dear Catholics, until I left my family home to work, I had no idea how hard that was for my husband to do. At least the blessed family stayed together as a unit to follow St. Joseph’s work . Broken homes are no joke, and no Brady bunch.they are the homes where dreams go to die.
It takes communication with Priests to teach this to newly weds and all Catholics.
So many catholics don't believe in demons or talk about the subject........ of sin and demons. I believe in regenerational demons, its happening in my family with pediphiling.
Satan is working hard to fall us into hard hearts and sin.😤 The Catholic religion and Church is a effort to stay clean, most people are to lazy and selfish on Sundays to go to Mass and confession.
It feels so good to go to Confession and Mass.✔☝
Thanks be to the most high GOD.💝 AMEN!
I think a more accurate statement would be that so many Catholics are not scared of demons. And if we pray and trust in God, then we have no need to fear them.
Like, doesnt being paranoid about demons mean you are submitting to them in a way? Allowing them space in your mind when that space could be filled with God and His goodness just seems counterproductive.
As a woman, I totally agree! I would love to stay home. It is sad that the basic cost of living has gone up, the way we depend on insurance, and the cost of insurance for basic health care. I have to work full-time. This message does, however, make me look a little closer to my budget try to change things
Not true, unless your husband makes minimum wage you do not need to work. I've raised 5 kids when my husband made less than 50k a year and we took no money from the government, you just need to set your priorities.
@Adam Breyer we also have owned a home in every state weve lived, had 3 months worth of saving, maxed our IRA and own our cars with my husband making less than 40k a year. Its about making family a priority which is the most important thing in a womans life
@Adam Breyer lol okay i still hear excuses i have chronic illness and i dont make excuses i just do what needs to be done and do it for my family. You may be okay having your wife leave your children with strangers because youre not willing to do the hard work but im not weak like that neither is my husband. We went from poverty to making almost 100k a year before taxes because we're not cry babies saying we could never make it. I think people have come up with so many excuses to not sacrifice that they believe their problems are greater than they actually are
@@Magdalena287 What about your husband wasn't ready to finance the household? This is my case, I haven't worked in almost 4 years , but I am using my savings because my husband expects me to financially contribute.
We have an autistic son and I wouldn't want to go anywhere
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx my husband wanted me to stay home before we even had kids, thats what he expected of me and I was happy to provide that. We now have 5 kids and a child with special needs and ive never worked outside the home
I am so grateful for this teaching. I cringe when I hear good priest deny the need for this important grace, exorcism, binding spirits etc. I grew up with visiting priests sharing their personal stories of exorcism.
I am aware of good and evil. Today however we must pray that people recognize good and evil. Then, use the tools given to cast out evil.
Holy Love (Love God, love your neighbor)

Truth will always be rejected by those who have an agenda which opposes the Traditional Catholic Church teachings. So be it. It is rare to find a priest as educated, intelligent and brutaly honest as Fr Ripperger. God bless you... Awesome priest! 💪❤TradCat.
I emailed Fr. R's diocese about his comments concerning working women. They said it was not Catholic teaching.
Feminism has actually reduced the wage for men by doubling the work force labor supply since WWII.
Which is exactly why families can't afford to have the mother at home. We need to get our society back together that way a mother can stay at home without poverty for the family.
@@savingsarah9456 amen. Ripperger speech is just a wishful thinking nowdays.
I was to the face told by the dear Priest who married my husband and I, and Baptized my children. He said they had been told not perform the exorcism rites that week when they Baptize . So says Father we will begin with the exorcism. Then the beautiful baby received his Baptism. May he rest in peace. No matter what physical illness. He died of a broken heart. We love and miss you Father. Please pray for us.
First off Thank you for this interview. For me Fr. Ripperger has help me understand the faith more and learn the Original teaching and therefore helping me become a better Catholic . For the ones who speak against the binding prayers , ifthe Church where teaching what they’re supposed to teach these wouldn’t be needed. I’m not saying all parishes are not doing what their supposed to , just that there are very few . This book merely points the Catholic family in the right direction to help themselves and their household and leads to further spiritual improvements. Too many people have gone to their priest for Supernatural help/advise to be blown off with no advise in any real direction .
Tina don't listen chads garbage listen to Malachi Martin on youtube.....lectures. He's fantastic,humble and way more knowledgeable.

I sacrificed to be a stay at home mom and we budgeted severely…but my kids were happy and healthy! I do not regret it at all….my children are now in their 40’s and healthy
Even my in laws rolled their eyes when I stayed home for my babies and children all through their high school...I was adamant about that...Later I had my pottery studio at home and could do what I also loved to do but husband interfered with that joy too and said I had to "get a real job"...the family always had meals on time, a beautiful garden and support...
I am still despised by relatives to this day especially a sister in law who was divorced when my oldest was three, put her kids in daycare while she worked and went to school...she still has an aversion towards me something fierce b/c she sees me "being at home" as some kind of freak (aka extreme jealousy)...my husband being weak, throws me under the bus and never stick up for me, defend my honor instead he reminds me "I NEVER contributed to the home (mortgage payments)...my children are grown now and my husband (non Catholic) takes the attitude he wants to separate from me now b/c he says he wants to "do what he likes to do" without such a "dominant woman" in his life and he doesn't feel he owes me anything since I never "worked" and contributed to the mortgage etc. and he stands on that... its like I am nothing more than a throw away dishrag after 27 years...I am so exhausted and worn down by his giving into such weaknesses. I may have to join a convent just to pray for these ones.
Kate,
You did the right thing. Stay strong and I hope and pray that your husband will come around. Offer your suffering up to Our Lady.
Remember Jesus said he came not to bring peace but a sword. Luke 12:53
Your contribution is valid for 50% of the family assets plus maintenance for yourself or any children under 18 or in full time education or to 23 years.
That's the law in the republic of Ireland and most other Western countries.
But your husband is making a mistake. Give him time and don't rush off to a lawyer. Your can do that anytime anyway.
Just give him time to work himself out. He will.
Since I made Marian consecration I am gaining more and more freedom in releasing my husband and life to her care. Mary points everyone to Jesus and I am seeing her work. I have only to be a God pleaser not a man pleaser. I know all too well your pain, will pray that your husband can one day see your value as a virtuous woman. You have not wasted anything just because some people don't appreciate it. You are responsible to God first and you did right by your children and husband even if he can't see it. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. The closer I get to who I am supposed to be and the role God calls me to I see respect for me from my husband beginning to grow.
Kate I hope things have improved for you. Your experience is so commonplace for women. I couldn't take maternity leave and found it very difficult to place our 12 week old baby into a 'childcare'. That was 14 years ago and I have stayed at home and our youngest is now 4 years. We have made sacrifices financially for me to be at home with the kids and everyone seems to have an opinion on my getting a 'real' job and how I raised my kids. With hindsight I can see women like us are right to follow our natural calling. Being a mother is a full-time job. Believe in your value and dignity as a woman and a mother and pray for strength and courage.
Praised God forever.Thank you Rev.Father for the wisdom its very hard to find true priest of the Holy Church these days.please these is what we need these days.May God bless you.
Huh? Not true.
Father Rip with his customary airtight logic and reasoning. Wish I had him in my diocese. Such a gift to the church and our time. More videos please!
Le Roi Obi You are simple minded and easily led. Chad is a pretender.
keetka99 Keetka sounds to me like you are what u accuse me of. To levy a simpleton's charge that he is a pretender isn't sufficient an excuse. Besides you are here listening to him too lol.
Only the humble can accept what this good priest is saying. May God gives us millions of priests like Father Ripperger. The church will be saved then
@@karynyzelman1176 well that's some gnosticism right there.
thank you Fr.Ripperger, my journey from the NO to TLM was a fruitful one and finding you on this site was another blessing esp a priest who tackles traditional issues which are taboo in the modern Rome and Vatican which is corrupted innthe ways of the world...hope you can come here in pH and do some conference too..praying for more quality and sincere priest like you to GOD to give us in this spiritual warfare against this minions of hellm
My dad made more than enough money that my mom could stay home. It's hard to imagine how my life would've been different without her around constantly. I never thought of a mother working as being a mortal sin though, moreso just a really bad idea. This definitely isn't taught anymore. Heck, I don't even remember learning what was and wasn't a mortal sin (was going to CCD in 2000s).
Your dad was working during an economic boom and likely in a lucrative profession.
Also, I emailed the diocese where Fr. R is in residence and they contradicted what he said about working women being sinful. So he is offering his opinion and his opinion is wrong.
Unfortunately, most bishops would rather go along to to get along. Many have become lazy. They will tell you what vfc you want to hear. I have a serious problem with this too. They do not want to be inconvenienced. Father Ripperger really cares about souls. The proof is in what he is doing. Many bishops can write a great sermon, but when it comes to practicing what the church teaches they tend to water down the Truth. They are more afraid of offending people rather than God.
@@stephenferry3017 that’s what the devil wants you to believe
@@rpgfeatures793 suuuuuuuuure.
@@stephenferry3017 you don’t understand the context
I love listening to Fr Ripperger. I had read in various sources that there is actually no evidence for evouoution as being the cause of man's existence. I mean, it is plain silly, really, to think that we'd develop these complicated brains and upright walking, when our 'closest relatives' are still merrily bouncing about on their four limbs, with thuimbs on their feet, and perfectly well able to survive.
Mother Angelica used to say, “unless you’re a thorn in someone’s back, you’re not doing your job evangelizing “.
I stayed home with my oldest kid for 2 years because he was a premie. During that time, I had pressure from others that wanted me to work and I also wanted to back to work to make extra income. I felt that God wanted me to be home with my son but I didn't know why. I would stay home longer if I knew why. Thanks, Father Ripperger, for sharing your knowledge and help us improving our vitues. ❤
YAY! Thank you, Fr. Ripperger, for telling us the truth. Truth has a way of sounding true; straight & to the point.
I'm Filipina. We have a tradition we call "Mano" wherein children will take the hand of elder family member (parents, grandparents, aunt's, uncles, priests, godparents,etc) and touch their forehead to the knuckle of that older person. It's a sign of respect to the older person and a blessing from the older person to the young ones. So we teach children by telling them, "Go to grandpa to get blessed!" (Mano po). This makes so much sense!
Please study the life of Saint Zelie Martin, Mother of Saint Therese the Little Flower, and mother of 9 children, five of whom survived and all were made Brides of Christ, the Lord sure did bless this career woman and mother; Saint Zelie was simultaneously a career woman and mother, she was the family’s bread winner; clearly she received full permission from her husband, Saint Louis Martin, to work outside the home.
Deo Gratias 🙏🏽🌹
I always think of St Therese's mom when this topic comes up. Clearly the church cannonized a working woman for a reason.
I have read some biographies on the life of St. Therese’s family. If you read St. Zelie’s letters, she flat-out says her work was manageable because she was allowed to do it at home and be with her children. She says she would not have continued to do it if it became too much of a burden. She also had breast cancer and was unable to breastfeed her children. She hired out wet nurses- which they screened scrupulously to find ones of moral character. It broke her heart that she could not nurse her children herself. The fact she dealt with this ailment, and not normal circumstances where she would be caring and nursing for babies because they lived with wet-nurses, certainly changed the dynamics of things. God knew this and worked it out. Reading St. Zelie’s letters, I have no doubt she would encourage women to be mothers at home. Her husband writes about how well St. Zelie trained her older children in running the home. She was incredibly involved.
I don't see the point of giving birth and not being able to raise and take care of the child at least the first five years of his/her life. I'd prefer not to have a child if I cannot take care of her/him 100% of my time at least during her first 5 years. .. I guess this is why I'm still single...
As a Catholic male I too am looking over seas for a woman with parental values. Too hard to find in America.
@@hayden8491 Of course. And usually if you're up front and honest with the woman she will usually follow suit.
There are good men out there who agree with you.
You just need to find one..😁
Great video. Please keep going Fr. Rippperger
Father please address the Goodly catholic men who abandon n impoverish their Catholic wives n children by abandoning them n forcing the wife to work overtime n play the roles of both mother n father.
They are not listening to father. Not "goodly" really. He is addressing the double income, no mom folks.
John Ruplinger: Dell Chica did not indicate that she did not hear Fr. Ripperger. She made a request for another sermon. Additionally, since every married woman in America is in grave danger of sudden divorce, through no fault of her own, due to no-fault divorce in every state, every married woman in America has a grave reason to work outside the home...and Fr. Ripperger's sermon is useless and applies to no one at all.
Patz13 exactly honey thats what meant, since I am one of those Catholic wives abandoned by my Catholic husband for another woman. I cannot remarry and I must struggle financially work all the time to take care of the kids from my Catholic marriage. @ john there are millions of women worldwide who struggle to keep the faith, remain Catholic and be mother and father. ...... this is what I want addressed. Who else can be my husband since annulnent is a hush hush topic. At least in my country.....
Dell Chica: I was also divorced by my "Catholic" husband for a Jewish woman with a lot of money...when our three children were 4, 6 and 8 years old. Emotionally, the divorce did not bother me...since he was so cold, distant and emotionally abusive for the entire 16 years we were married. But I also had many financial problems along with severe health problems due to contracting Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion for an ectopic pregnancy 3 years before he filed for divorce. Some years I did not even have health insurance....after the COBRA insurance ran out. I am ok now. My Hep C is cured and I am on social security. My children are all in their 20's now and they are much damaged by the divorce and the godless bad example and bad advice of their father...who was divorced several more times then had a series of "girlfriends." I never remarried either...as marriage is for life...even if one's spouse abandons. Also I knew that most abuse of children is perpetrated by the mother's boyfriend or the kids' step father...so I was not interested in trying to get an annulment....because the good men stay married. I did not want to marry someone else's ex-husband.
My reply remains true. These are not "goodly" Catholic men. My wife abandoned me, has trumped up abuse charges, and I have not been allowed to see my (many young) children at all or contact them for almost 2 years. The cause is a terrible cult she belongs to, that destroys conscience and has wrecked countless families. My kids are being abused every way. One priest brags how my kids now hate dad.... what was not at all true before this separation and divorce. My reputation, career, and health are ruined. I've been jailed (unlawfully many ways -- such is the corruption in our courts) for trying to reconcile and see my wife and kids. I have now heard other similar stories. It's as if no one in the Church, priests nor hierarchy, care at all about families. Father is only addressing in tact families (and I know many very good ones). The kids do need mom at home (if at all possible... but it is not always so).
Father is not addressing at all the horrible crisis that "no-fault" divorce and easy (fake) annulments has caused. No one does. Many priests encourage it, and it destroys both spouses and kids. It has devastated me and my kids are emotionally, spiritually, and even physically abused and traumatized. I simply cannot believe that no friends, family, nor priests will lift a finger to restore my marriage.... indeed the opposite: all seem to encourage it or at least think nothing of it. It is not easy at all.
It is not just wives who are being affected. Many husbands likewise suffer. And in all cases the kids suffer most.
Thank God for this Priest and his common sense teachings, It is so refreshing to hear the truth.
To comment on Married clergy. I stand by what St. Paul states in 1 Corinthians 7:32-33.
"But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried care for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married care for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife". I'm not putting down the sacrament of marriage for those called to marry, but far as are clergy marrying, a wife and family would be a distraction for their number one goal. That is bringing souls to Heaven.
Joe Haaf - I agree Joe. A married member of a parish can find lots of things to do to help out with the business of saving souls. He can set a good example for one.
Taking a priests vestments, however, is not a career or lifestyle choice. It is not about going through the motions. It is a great sacrifice and calling for a man.
Joe Haaf Byzantine rite......Greek Catholic priests marry.
Fr Ripperger is drawing liberal criticism...if they are offended, then he's speaking the Truth of Christ!

I pray God blesses marriages and Husbands with a good job so his income alone can provide for a stay at home mum. That is a luxury most people in Europe cannot afford. I don't know of ANY families (I live in Germany and Romania) that have a stay at home mum beyond maternity leave. The only stay at home mums I personally know are Americans living in the US.
I cannot believe that being a working mother is a mortal sin. Some mothers want an outside job. As long as the children are safe, well taken care of and know they are deeply loved.
Recently heard a catholic talk about “invincible ignorance”. It had a great effect on me, and I immediately recognized it, because it’s a very common feature of modern people. See it all the time.

Looks like me coming home to 5 children in the 1980's after working a 6 pm to 2 am shift, taking care of also a spouse who didn't want to go off unemployment. I agree that women should stay home and care for their children. But it's not a perfect world, is it?
You need to spend a good amount of time reading up Catholic doctrine, if you justify moral wrongs based on “it’s not a perfect world”...

... "in the current teaching" .. the teachinf never changes
After reading social research studies, I saw the evidence that when children have a mother at home until age 5, they fare far better emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and financially than most whose mothers worked and put them in daycare. I didn’t worship God back then, but He led me to wisdom anyway. I stayed home, cared for the children and house, and encouraged my husband in his work. He went for several promotions and doubled his income. However, without God, we were corrupt. He blamed me for everything, even though we had a good life and very few actual problems. I blamed him for my misery. We divorced. Thanks to alimony and child support, I was still able to stay home with the youngest almost full time until she went to school. Thanks to God, I have been able to recover from the abuse endured. Our children will be blessed for my choice to stay home with them, my choice to get help and healing, and my choice to find the truth in God. Any homemakers should be encouraged to be the best mothers, wives, and contributions to the world that God made them to be. Now the children are in their teens, and I am going for a second degree in nursing, with God’s help. Now I can help other mothers and families with their children. God be praised. And keep binding demons.
Mary, help woman see their roles again. Catholic wives: homeschool, obey your husbands, work hard, serve! Realize how wonderful a Catholic husband is in this age, and how many wives have to suffer atheistic slothful drunken adulterous husbands!! Be grateful!! Working hard and homeschooling is soo important to protect them from this evil society!
J. M. Thanks, it’s true.
It's not that father is against women working outside the home per se...it's just that the children deserve to be looked after by their mother and her first role is to provide for their well being as their souls are the first priority. He also mentioned previously that employers have an obligation to give sufficient wages to the husbands they employ. But obviously our society is upside down today and many mothers are forced by real necessity to work as they have no other choice. Father also mentioned elsewhere that God will provide for the family if that is the case.
I worked before having children. I stayed home to raise them. I’m working again in my later years. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thank you Father. As a recent convert I love learning the faith, as truth is so very satisfying to the soul. Do you have an opinion or talk on the fact the Church APPEARS to currently have two popes? This is a sticking point for me and it always leads me to believe that PF is an antipope and therefore his teachings can and should be ignored.
Kono Koo mediatrixpress.com has a couple books on everything one wants to know on the papacy
Thank you SF/Father, but I don't know that a 16th century Saint addresses the problem of a pope emeritus. Isn't this a first? Have we ever in the history of the Church had a resigned pope wearing the papal white, while still remaining in the Vatican and calling himself pope emeritus? Or this? Two "popes" giving their blessings to new cardinals? ua-cam.com/video/VgxU-nK-2Eg/v-deo.html
Please know, I love the teachings here are SF. And I know the priests here are holy, good priests. But I am confused. Thank you and God bless and the Virgin protect you all!
You are worried over nothing. 'The Holy Father may retire if he chooses. The Code of Canon Law states, "If it should happen that the Roman Pontiff resigns his office, it is required for validity that he makes the resignation freely and that it be duly manifested, but not that it be accepted by anyone" (Canon 332, No. 2). ' Read the rest of the article here: www.catholiceducation.org/en/culture/catholic-contributions/can-the-pope-retire.html
Just because it is not COMMON for popes to resign, it is NECESSARY that they be able to! Imagine the situation of a pope developing alzheimers disease, for example, and being 'forced' to stay in office while he is unable to remember anything or anyone! Or a pope who is seriously disabled by a stroke or an accident. The Church is above all a reflection of God's MERCY and LOVE, and in his mercy and love, God would not want us to have a 'shepherd' who was physically or mentally incapable of carrying out his office. A pope is a priest and a bishop, and though there is no mandatory retirement age for a pope, a pope can retire if he must, if he's incapable of fufilling his office, just as any other priest or bishop can retire for the same reason. The fact that it happens rarely is God's grace, not a law and not a reason to start engaging in second-guessing the Church's authority to elect Pope Francis.
Remember: Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would protect the Church until the end of time, and the gates of hell would never prevail against it. You can be sure that if the Holy Father himself says he is resigning, it's a legitimate act. You don't have to 'accept' it - nobody does - because nobody is in a position of accepting the resignation of the pope, since nobody is his 'boss.' There's no reason to think Pope Benedict was 'forced' into retirement or retired against his will; he even hinted at the possibility of retiring himself, before he made the announcement. Furthermore, we know that on two or three occasions he tried to retire from his Vatican duties while John Paul II was still pope, and John Paul did not accept his resignation (presumably because John Paul II had some insight into Benedict's future election as his successor, but who knows?). So we know that long before he was elected Pope, Benedict had a desire to retire from public work for the Vatican. It's actually not a big surprise that he retired, when you look back on events.
When a pope retires, he resigns all authority as pope; that is, he cannot speak as the successor of Peter, etc. However, he still retains his priesthood and he's still a bishop and still a cardinal (until he's beyond the age). Having Benedict bless new cardinals is a courtesy, a gift to the new cardinals AND, most important, a clear sign that he is NOT a 'second' pope or a 'senior pope' or acting as pope. It's a sign that he is totally in obedience and communion with Pope Francis. If he were NOT, then obviously, he would not be seen in public with Pope Francis, would have different choices of cardinals, would be clearly trying to get people on 'his side' against Francis, and so on. You don't SEE two 'rival popes,' do you? No, you see a duly elected Pope (Francis) who has a great relationship with a retired pope who supports Pope Francis completely (and has said so in public).
All the evidence says that you have nothing to worry about. Do you trust the Church or not? And if you believed that Benedict was truly the pope, then you must also accept his decision as pope to resign from being pope. YOU don't tell the pope what to do; HE decides to accept the office or resign it.
Thank you Figaro. Your answer though does not answer the question. When in the Church's history has She ever had two men wearing papal white, living in the Vatican, both blessing cardinals at the same time? If I'm not mistaken, this has never, ever happened before. The Church has dealt with two men claiming to be pope at the same time...that is not the case here. We have one calling himself a pope emeritus and one who seems to be a heretic. I would simply like a traditional priest to address this. Something is not right.
BTW, today was my vey first traditional Palm Sunday Mass....and wow, what a beautiful and powerful Mass. Such a blessing for me.
@@konokoo3375 You have much widom Kono.
Fantastic discussion as always
What constitutes grave cause for a woman to work outside the home? My husband and I would love for me to stay home with the kids but we can't afford our mortgage, etc. if I don't work.
A lot of comments who attack Fr R and rad trads who do same, shows just how much the devil hates Fr. R.
A general lesson of this whole issue, is that today the majority of people have forgotten what femininity looks like. To have a good look into what true femininity consists in check out the following blog:
Finer Femininity (finerfem.com).
A truly wonderful blog about a beautiful family. Anyone who personally knows this family is truly blessed.
I suppose this might not apply to couples who cannot have children and who cannot adopt children.
In a perfect world wives would not need to work but we live in a society that is making it more and more difficult for men to be the sole providers. They would need to have a real good paying job to make it happen. Working to buy luxuries? give me a break-most wives work to help put food on the table and to pay bills. I stayed home with my children until they were in school and then worked part-time and then full-time when they were older. Good thing I did because my husband left us when they were in their teens. The Church cannot afford to take of us "widows" so we must fend for ourselves. A woman must be able to provide for ourselves and children if need be. That is the reality.
Mary Magnan I agree fully, if husband's are meant to lead their family, then they would love their wives as Christ loved the church, after all if men have the say, then the fault lies with them!
I don't really believe most men can manage the expectations placed on them. Only with God's grace can we in this era, live life according to Gods will, we just won't make it without him!
Amen sister ! God bless you..
Fr. Ripperger acknowledges this. Please watch Fr. Ripperger's talk on Feminism.
Bear in mind that every "Father" in the church is totally taken care of financially. His room and board are taken care of his entire life. Such men are totally insulated from the reality of 99% of the people on planet Earth. Yet they feel arrogant enough to tell everyone else how to handle their finances. A lot of these men couldn't survive financially outside the Church.
My partner works and totally supports us all. But I work because I want to. There is only so much I can do at home with cleaning and cooking etc. My home is pretty well in order. If I didn't work and get out to socialise and do something productive I'd go insane. I nearly did. I'm a better person for it. I'm happier.. I prayed about it. I got the first job I applied for. I work in Aged Care. 🧡🇦🇺
And it's not right to put all the burden on the father. If the wife can help out, without turning the family upside down, they should, if they wish to.
No mention of children in your comment.
Who takes care of your children? If it’s not you , then that is the problem.
It would be great if Fr. Ripperger would address the responsibilities of men in equally explicit detail.
Jennifer Rivera wow, well said!
Although there are a lot of bad/ignorant NONCatholic men.. I’ve noticed in the Catholic community men tend to fulfill their rolls of providers, don’t deny their spouses the marital bond, and still at least attempt to be head of household. Catholic Women, I’ve noticed, are very very warped, many working against the husbands wishes, many denying the husband the marital act, many refusing to homeschool when the husband desires, many bickering about small things AND big things when truly they should simply obey and the husband in turn will love them MORE. Many don’t cook dinner or clean the homes. That’s a big one I’ve seen. Catholic men fulfill their roles more than Catholic women, I’ve noticed. Because modernism, liberalism, feminism, all the evils for the last 100 years have infiltrated the mindset of These women. I personally am a woman who Desires for women to not even vote. And just be protected with their children in the home. It was much better than the chaos that exists now in this evil disgusting culture. The suffering and lost souls all around us. My poor children. 😭 Women stay home and teach them the faith, and honor your good husbands!!!!!!
Very true. There are a lot of leafy men out there. Who don't deserve to be head of the house. But at the end of the day, he has to answer for his house being out of order.
@@mamatlacuacha I work outside the home because I choose to. But not until my last child was 15.. I work in Aged Care. Do you suggest we all quit, and leave the elderly to fend for themselves???
@@jaggirl that's not what she's aying at all. society just praises women for working rather than caring for their child- leaving them under a babysitter or in a daycare so they can be more rich rather than nurturing and raising the child during some of their most vulnerable years. 15 is already an adolescent teenager, if you're confident they dont need your energy/attention as much any more and want to help the elderly that's very respectable. ♡
The Father seems totally oblivious of the financial condition of many families in the USA. Women do not work just to have luxury items. We live in a society where wages for men are going down, and a woman's participation is necessary to keep food on the table and keep the lights on. If child rearing is so damn important, then why doesn't the Church start child care services for working women who have no choice? Also, never forget the role of grandparents. I helped raise my grandchild because of the need for both parents to work.
Father did mention in other sermons that he was referring only to wives who worked when there was no real necessity for them to do so. Of course the financial conditions in countries have gone downhill and many couples have to work to pay off their rent etc. But also consider that childcare costs are high for working mothers...
Amen.
Well that was a lot less radical than I expected.
This was great and very imformative. God Bless.
I'm really surprising at all the questions and arguments on evolution. I think deep down people have a vested interest in believing in evolution, because it is the only tenable argument that gets around a creative Being other than alien intervention. However, even as a Christian, as a Biology major, after just a few college courses, like Cell Biology, Genetics, Advanced math and probabilities, and now Quantum mechanics, I realized that evolution isn't just unproven, it's well nigh statistically impossible. Most scientists today,if they are off the record and being honest, realize that there must have been some creation somewhere. Those who are absolutely against the idea o f a Supreme Being, usually opt for alien intervention. Thus, the ancient aliens show ( for all of those math and physics majors out there who realize that evolution is impossible). Just one example: Mathematician Emile Borel generally agreed anything over 1 x 10 to the 50th power was considered impossible. Well, let's assume it's just improbable. The calculable odds of each of the nucleotides in a dna strand is 1x 10 to the 80 th. Now think of all the species each with its own dna. Is it impossible,. Well, no. Neither is throwing a group of monkeys into a room with a typewriter, and having them come out with a dictionary. But when you calculate the odds of each random event and then the number of random events needed, its laughable. I used to tell my students Occams razor, the simples t solution is usually the correct one. If I see a cell phone on someone's desk, and then when I come back in later, I see a laptop now there, do I assume the cellphone turned into a laptop? No. So since we do not have fossils showing the progression of all of this alleged evolving of things, why do we assume one thing changed into another.
I boil it simply down to this: We've been to the beginning of the fossil record and there are no bridge species. Yeah, yeah, a couple they like to claim as "bridge species" but if evolution were true there should be MILLIONS of examples in the fossil record, there aren't. It's pure fiction and further, most of these species did actually seem to appear, just out of thin air, from nothing.
Other than as a segue into athestic thinking, I'm done with the evolution debate because it will never be cleared up. We will never know. If evolution is correct, God created it. If something else is correct, God created it. Believe what you'd like about the details of origins of the world..I'll still invite you to dinner.*
* Unless you're a militant atheist who can't stop droning on about how your belief in evolution makes you superior.
A M - Almighty God has produced a wonderful world and we are still using our God given wisdom and intelligence to discover new things about it. I don't see how this changes anything regarding our Faith and our belief. Will we discover aliens or a Sasquatch? I don't know - but who cares and why does it matter? Seven new large mammals are still discovered each year. It is irrelevant to our spiritual beliefs.
That's what I found a little problematic with the good Fr's comments, he seems to conflate evolutionary theory with theories of the origin of life. Original Abiogenesis is something that the biological community has no consensus or even a very plausible theory for (at the moment). That's not even what evolution tries to explain. Evolution is that phenomenon in which we see adaptation of organisms through natural selection; here we talk of speciation (new species), extinctions etc... For all his errors and faults, Darwin didn't write his book on the "Origin of Life" but on the "Origin of Species". There's a very big difference.
The Father makes excellent and perfectly valid distinctions of Thomistic/Aristotelian causation but then applies them, imho, to something rather illusory (he never actually gives a definition of evolution here). For example, his talk on essence vs incidentals is verified in evolutionary theory. Actually, the very fact that it's a basic principle of evolutionary theory that "with no diversity there is no evolution" is a perfect example of the principles he is properly expressing.
I don't mean this in any demeaning way of the good Father, but I think he is unwittingly making a straw-man argument. His metaphysics sound pretty darn solid (and I would consider myself in every way inferior to him in these sciences) but I do think he is not operating with a definition of evolution (at least in this presentation) that is the contemporary accepted norm in academia.
Biology and evolution is a beautiful field of study. It's my old stomping grounds. It pains me that it is, in some places, the most atheistic faculty in academia. In my experience, most bio students are not militant atheists, but they just tend to be atheist. However, this may lead some to think, erroneously, that learning Biology and evolution makes one atheist! No! It is rather that most people who apply to this faculty are already atheists! What I'm seeing there is atheist mindsets trying to find meaning in these sciences because it's been sucked out of the culture and because of the poor formation in the crucial "high-school" years. Cohorts of people have been robbed of a decent religious/metaphysical formation and of the profound rationality of Catholicism which has been substituted with a pseudo-spiritual presentation of faith as fundamentally feelings-based and irrational. The fact that they are moving towards the biological sciences to find meaning just demonstrates that a deep-seated religious sense is crying out for "the good stuff".
Sorry about my long rant...
Henry Stoneking it’s not stupid at all, and there’s plenty of evidence for it.
Catholics are lovers of reality, the truth about evolutionary theory is not an enemy of Catholicism, quite the contrary. Why do you think great Pope like Pius XII, St John Paul II And Pope Benedict XVI were so open to it...
Henry Stoneking you’d really have to specify what type of denial of “creationism” would make one a heretic. Undoubtedly, there are certain types of creationism that are themselves heretical, as well as many others that are theologically and philosophically deficient (as it is true also for many theories of evolution). The fact is, the matter is in the details.
I don’t know why you say there have been no “signs” (do you mean evidence?) for evolutionary theory? Are you aware of the sciences of genetics and the phenomena highly consistent and efficiently explained by evolutionary theory? Genetic inheritance? Genetic drift? Mutation? The morphological and phylogenetic similarities among species? The adaptation under natural selective forces which is seen from the simple Petri dish to resistance in bacterial populations inside bodies? The elegance of evolutionary theory of explaining the fossil record? Really, except for a matter called the “molecular clock” where there’s a little bit of a problem to explain the amount of diversity with the slow rate of mutation, there’s not just one evidence for evolutionary theory, rather the whole of our knowledge and observations points to power and rationality of evolutionary theory.
Btw, here I don’t mean “theory” as a hypothesis, as it is often commonly but somewhat erroneously used, but as a network of explanatory theoretical constructs that are verified by empirical methodologies.
Here’s something that can help with regard to Papal magisterium in regard to evolution:
www.ewtn.com/library/papaldoc/jp961022.htm
I wouldn’t lose hope in the magisterium of the Popes of the last 60 years or of so many other periods of history. We’ve been blessed with great men who have ascended to the throne of Peter, like Saint John Paul II, Blessed (soon to be Saint) Paul VI, venerable Pius XII and for me a wonderful man who became Benedict XVI.

My parents were married 55 years and raised 6 kids my father worked two jobs for 16 years to pay the bills leaving my mother home for hours on end to deal with 6 kids two of which had serious defects. My mother suffered from severe clinical depression psychotic breaks, very severe varicose veins, phlebitis, My father had severe high blood pressure and stress. He had a major stroke at 51 which forced my mother to go to work. She was basically worked to death as well as my dad. But my grandmother my father’s mom ( who only had two kids) told her keep on having kids because it was a sin not to . Both my parents died within 7 months of each other from sheer exhaustion and over work . Unless you have a lot of money rolling in you can not possibly raise 9 or 10 kids now-a-days. How would you crowd a poor family of 8 today in a two or three room apt? Because of what I lived and saw growing up I could never psychologically have kids. Yes I went to confession on that one. The priest told me some people can not have kids because of physical problems some can not have them because of psychological problems. He said it is no ones business why you do not have kids and it is rude of them to even ask why.
Well said. Live with in your means. There is no point having lots of kids and working yourself to death to feed them. There is no enjoyment or happiness in that. And its no one's business.. 🧡🙂
I am convinced (and I am a convert to Catholicism in 1970, and 49 years married so I think I have no bias about this) that many (maybe in the millions) of Catholics in the United States and around the world have, especially since the 1960s due to poor catechesis and caught up in the promiscuity of our times, approached their wedding day not understanding that entering marriage is entering the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. It is a religious vow to God, not just a romantic act of marrying. And this has invalidated a tremendous number of so-called marriages. Nor do I think I am excusing these past so-called marriages. I really think large numbers need annulments. The key is the wedding day. I personally know of many so-called marriages that years ago were acts of immaturity and/or false vows of irreligious attitudes.

Sorry to hear that, whatever it is, it’s in the past. Forgive her, pray Rosary daily. God bless you.
A lot of practising Catholic people, have not been told this, regarding marital obligations. These thing's were not discussed in pre nuptual marriage council, between couple's. Your not accountable if your not aware, the Church does not educate people on these issue's.
So...we shouldn't educate people so they're off the hook forever??? 😉. Most people _know_ somewhere along the line even if not at first. That's why they react badly and the Church won't teach it. The reaction that you see here - just won't deal with it and trying to explain that yes, what seems like a need at the time had to do with maybe selfishness.
A M or maybe if a husband drink's every night, neglects his duty, goes out and spends the family's money on friend's at nightclub's, and even doesn't disclose, if he is unfaithful, maybe that is a reason, and staying all those long year's and enduring it, until he left for good, means that I nay gave a valid reason, I can't even believe the Lord himself, would not be compassionate, too rigid, with no mercy, us not of the Lord

Despite your unclear literary structuring, it seems that your statement contradicts itself:
Why on Earth would a wife have a valid reason to abstain from relations (despite the husbands wishes) for an UNKNOWN unfaithfulness? Do you see the absurd contradiction?
Also, note that the Church's teaching on this matter pertains to a REASONABLE request from one spouse to another. If the Church teaches something that is objectively true, then for someone not to know it would be due to fallen nature or deliberate rejection (sin). Thanks for the worlds longest sentence though...
Thomas Comerford Truly sorry I'm not an intellectual equal, or so concerned and worried as to not take notice of the construction of sentence's, my husband was unfaithful, since a woman rang my landline asking for him and telling me she was his girlfriend. What advice would you give to a wife dealing with an alcoholic husband, who when in an altered state does not resemble someone you know. Have you any idea of the frightening situation a spouse and children find themselves in, when confronted by this. Thanks for your post, it will help me toward humility, as I realize compared to you, I am totally lacking in most everything!! Sorry for typos, errors, mispronunciation, intellectually inferior content, etc.
Stephanie, Paul understands that men can be asses just as much as women can, but Christ cannot allow an evil for compassionate reasons..He always sees the good that can come from evil & so is quite clear about marriage..Paul gives enough info for us to know whats meant when a woman in a bad marriage who humbly obeys God by not seen divorce as an easy way out, can grow rapidly in holiness & these days vice-versa..But d Church makes exceptions when a spouse is in danger.She doesnt expect the husband/wife to stay in a situation in which they are in danger...None of this is new to anyone who knows theology 101...Marriage has only recently been legalised in my country & 76% of d ppl ticked the Catholic box in 2016 census & people in this country simply dont get divorced because its not sometng that is even looked at.i mean when we go in2 a marriage knowing we can skip out when tngs go belly up,then at least some time in our life we may file for it.my folks split for a year, got bak 2geter and r so happy now 25 yrs later..Who knows what cud hav been if divorce was an option
Thank you for posting another video interview with Fr. Ripperger! I will be purchasing his books.
Sharon Holmes Sharon listen to ALL THE LECTURES ON UA-cam FROM MALACHI MARTIN...........GO RUN
Thank you for this post.
Note to those wishing to advise, it's not necessary to comment on how I structure my sentences. I have surely made a mistake in my posting a heartfelt plea, only to be berated for a poorly constructed sentence. I'm clearly not reaching the right people here. So I will go elsewhere for spiritual direction!
Stephanie : I'm feel so sorry that you encountered grumpies when you wanted help. Pray to Mary, she always helps. I always found it helpful to read lives of saints also, especially those who suffered a lot. Peace to you..
Don't give up Stephanie and DO NOT let others defeat you. One virtue you must aquire (and it takes time) is perseverance! This virtue was called in my day "a thick skin". If you take all criticism personally you will not advance in virtue. Chin up! Because you are learning the truth and it has opened your eyes, keep going. Fr. Ripperger is an eminant priest and should be listened to by you. Don't give up or go away. This is what Satan wants.
Lifebegins teamfosi Thank you so much and may God bless you for your kindness!
Relax Stephanie this is normal...
the Church is on the backfoot so a lot of Catholics are highly defensive and quick off the bat to appear to be toeing the line of Church teaching, this comes off in the comment sections...
This is a double-edged sword as you've found out but it DOES have its advantages too... lots of devoted Catholic in here... and chances are if you actually met them in person and they could quantify they were dealing with a real person and not avatar. they'd give you real respect trust me!
Take this with a pinch of salt... families always bicker and the Church is a family.
Rejoice! Christ will recover you out of this, we both know that!
Pray for your brothers and sisters... they're anxious and scared of the world too so they act out!
Stephanie Lane your welcome here i feel your love in which you share your own experience and its beauty thru grace your given so in grace you share thank u my sweet sis in Christ may you be blessed and i love u
I agree in some way, but when I look at older generation in villages where I live, I see so many broken families even most of the wifes were home and even those were all catholic families in catholic country, and despite the fact that there was not so much of a technology or facebook or anything like that.
I know this is 5 years ago, and I really enjoy listening to Father Ripperger, he's cleared up a lot of confusion for me, but at 13:28 he makes reference to KJV Luke 11:11-13 and Matt 7:9-11If a son shall ask for bread... and says, "I can't remember the full scripture cause I'm not a Protestant of course." ????? What the what??!!?? That is not some Protestant teaching. I know how highly educated this man is, which is why this comment floored me. He made it sound like it isn't in the bible because he can't quote it. It is there.
It’s a joke. There is a stereotype that Protestants can quote the Bible much better than Catholics. He wasn’t referencing the reaching.
Thank you for sharing. Dominus Vobiscum.
I hope/pray I can find a holy woman willing to be a stay at home mother to marry… children have a right to be with their mother for her nurturing care! That’s the thing everyone seems to forget!
I think the point about working mums is more about not letting your child be corrupted by government run schools and facilities which can lead children astray. Even local libraries have transexuals reading stories..
If wives stayed home our children wouldn’t be in the trouble they’re in. I don’t know what generation this started. People want to have more keeping u with the Jones. Then the phone deception kicked in to say the least. Now everybody want to be a movie star and own a Mansion. What happened to live a simple life, be content in what you have. If their Tennis shoes don’t cost 100$ up they don’t want them. So mom has to help out, for all the wrong reasons .
God Bless you Fr. Ripperger
What about the theory called saltation, as addressed in the book The New Biology? It basically requires an active, present Creator throughout the ages. It holds up in the fossil record and has been observed in modern day plants and amphibians.
What if the woman works and the father stays home?
Coulter McIntyre ...It's disordered.
Unless if course the father is infirm, and the family has no option, Jesus walked among everyday people! And he loved them, that's all that matter's, love!
I think that is still better then day care lol
The man has the nature, hormones and drive to do wonderful things for the family. He will be very hamstrung however, if his homemade is not well managed, his wife and children are not caring for him and don't support him fully in his efforts to provide leadership and economic supportvfor them.
Thank you Father for your help
13:29
I love that
I am divorced (married in the catholic church). We both currently living apart. I am not remarried and he is not remarried either. Can I attend the TLM and receive Holy Commuion and must I give a General confession as I was once given absolution from a Monsignor who was ordained in 1980? I do not believe in the Amoris Laetita.
You should been fine, assuming you are in the state of Sanctifying Grace and keep the Eucharistic fast.
Ask a priest.
There's no such thing as divorce. You're either married or you aren't.
“It [feminism] is mixed up with a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands.” [Gilbert K. Chesterton observed this about a hundred years ago.]
It was reported that St. Gianna Molla was a working mom and full time mother.. If working outside the home was a sin, the Church, as in the Holy Spirit working through the Roman Pontiff, will yell it out loud as much as She does contraception, since so many women are doing it and it’s the trend ..I attend a Traditional Latin Mass, for over 11 years, our traditional Priests, who are in line with the Church, teach that it is not sin, perhaps this is Fr.’s opinion and that of others.. So many women are working outside the home, many practicing Catholics, Holy Church will put it in the Catechism if it was a sin to work outside the home, it’s the lack of faith and trust in Holy Mother Church of Fr. Ripperger and those who speak thus, the Magisterium is there to protect the Baptized children, have some faith Fr. Ripperger..
Yes, the Popes have said the child has the right to be raised by his parents. But in what. context are they saying this and who are they referring to? Highly likely they are pointing out the fact that there are very many single moms who are being abandoned by the dads of their children, also, perhaps the Popes are saying this to counterattack the new trend of children being raised by homosexual parents.
Rose Michael very true about single moms. Im one of those abandoned by my catholic husband.
Dell Chica, I’m very sorry, you are not alone, I am going through something similar and am now being forced into the workplace, I have 5 children, but God has been my strength no doubt😃and the daily Rosary has so much power..
It’s important for young women to get their education, their higher degrees, as a back up in case their husband fall from the state of grace and starts living a worldly life and leaves her for another, then she’s stuck, having to raise all the children she has since the man abandoned his post and refuses to pay child support. I’ve seen it one too many times in my family, a minimum wage job is not going to pay the bills and the government, like in Illinois, oppresses the people with high taxes..
I will add too that St. Helen was a mom and a working woman, she had to rule a kingdom and at the same time raise her child.
Dell Chica: I am sorry about your situation. I also went through that and stayed single and got a job. We are in the End Times are are experiencing the Great Apostasy. In a few more years, we will witness the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

First of all, this teaching is not the tradition of the Church, we can see this in the live of some of the Saints, working mothers, the ones I have cited above. This teaching can not be found in the Baltimore Catechism or in Canon Law..
Second, Fr. Ripperger’s case is weak, he cited a moral theologian who is a lay man, no lay member has authority to teach the moral law, that authority solely belongs to the Holy Father, when he speaks in ex cathedra. Fr. Ripperger also cited psychological studies, but the Saints have stated their disgust for modern day psychology. Fr. Ripperger does not have the faculties to discern the moral laws for the Church, that would be prideful of him.
Also, it’s not sinful to own big homes, nice clothes, or to have wealth, one can be very Holy with the spirit of poverty and not be blinded by wealth like we have seen in the life of Blessed Pier Giorgio who was a billionaire, had servants and a big home.. St. Gianna too was known to wear high end fashion lines and drive nice cars but she had a high degree of the spirit of poverty in her heart.
So the proof is in the lives of the Saints.
Also, the Holy Father is pushing for more women to have roles/careers in the Church. Yes, it’s true, that those who are temporally poor and who are in the Church may not have the spirit of poverty in their hearts and so may be accused by God of the grave sin of envy (I’ve seen it).
The Great Prophets Abraham and Job, God Blessed them with a great amount of wealth since they had a high degree of the spirit of poverty in their hearts..
*****************^
Fr.Ripperger is of FSSP, their headquarters are out in Nebraska, my guess is that Fr.Ripperger is teaching women should not be in the workforce to appease the ears of those Catholics who are predominantly white and live on the farms and are afraid to better themselves in the Universities, they are afraid to nurture their natural God given talents and intellect, educating oneself and bettering oneself is not sin hence why the Catholic Church long time ago established Universities ( I see this attitude at the traditional Latin Mass group that I belong too, the young ladies are not interested in learning).
Also, I have prayed about this matter, thank you for the advice, I am a daily Mass attendee, go to Confession bi-weekly, pray the rosary daily and St. MIchael Chaplet daily and was inspired by God to work as a mother of 5.. This teaching is typical of the white American and is not practiced in the authentic Catholic Church attended by us Latinos, the Holy Father would have written an encyclical about it since mass amounts of women are working..
Rose Michael interesting and agreed.
