A prominent Catholic priest known for his work in exorcism and spiritual warfare, Fr. Chad Ripperger, has been ordered by Denver Archbishop James Golka to suspend all public ministry for a year. The directive, confirmed by LifeSiteNews, includes canceling public appearances, online homilies, and writings until September of next year.
Ripperger informed LifeSiteNews that he would have to cancel his speaking engagement at the company’s anniversary gala in April, which led the outlet to become aware of the arrangement. He stated, “The Archbishop has asked me to take a break on public speaking.” Additionally, he was prohibited from offering a written statement to be read or filming a video to be shown at the dinner.
I’ve received the official statement from the archdiocese of Denver on Fr. Ripperger: "Archbishop Golka recently met with Fr. Chad Ripperger to discuss his ministry and his community, the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother. During that conversation, the Archbishop asked Fr. Ripperger to consider a one-year fast from public speaking and interviews. The time will allow him to devote himself to the Society and to the people it serves. Fr. Ripperger readily agreed. At the end of the year, they will review the arrangement together. Archbishop Golka is grateful for Fr. Ripperger’s priestly service, exorcism ministry, and for the generous spirit in which he received this request. We ask the faithful to join us in praying for Fr. Ripperger and for the Society."
The director of communications for the Archdiocese of Denver, Kelly Clark, told LifeSiteNews that Archbishop Golka had asked Fr. Ripperger to “consider a one-year fast from public speaking and interviews” to give the exorcist time to devote himself to his society, the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother, and to the people he serves. “Fr. Ripperger readily agreed,” Clark said. “At the end of the year, they will review the arrangement together.”
NEW: Father Chad Ripperger says he is convinced that a large percentage of the world elites are satanic pedoph*les, warns of the danger of power. "If the veil drops too much & people start rising up to take the power away, that’s when it’s gonna get ugly." "These people have their hands on the levers of power and they’re going to use it to take us out if they think that their power’s gonna be jeopardized." Video: @ShawnRyan762
Clark added that Archbishop Golka is thankful for Ripperger’s service as a priest and exorcist, as well as for “the generous spirit in which he received this request.” The statement ended with a request to pray for Fr. Ripperger and the society.
Fr. Ripperger has recently appeared on many popular shows — including podcasts hosted by Joe Rogan, Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson, and Sean Ryan — racking up millions of views as he discussed topics like the occult, addiction, communism, and possession. He told Ryan that he believes many of the world’s leaders engage in pedophilia and devil worship.
Ryan later told Carlson that he decided to return to Catholicism after speaking with Fr. Ripperger.
