One of the strongest theological voices in the Catholic Church today, Father Chad Ripperger—an exorcist—recently sat down for a conversation with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan and revealed the true cure for corrupt Church leaders who infect parishes around the world with liberalism: the Blessed Virgin Mary.
For those who haven't been paying attention, a growing number of influential leaders in the Church, such as Father James Martin, have pushed the LGBT agenda hard in recent years. What’s truly frightening is that a number of these individuals now have the ear of Pope Leo XIV. These clearly compromised bishops and priests teach much that contradicts the official teaching of the Church and the words contained in the pages of Sacred Scripture.
Many passages in both the Old and New Testaments condemn homosexuality and the behaviors related to it. When clergy teach acceptance for practices that God Himself calls an “abomination,” they place souls in eternal danger. Jesus will hold these corrupt bishops and priests accountable for leading people into Hell. No one should take that lightly. And in my honest opinion, the fact that so many of these leaders see no issue with their teaching means either their souls have not truly converted, or worse, the Evil One influences them.
During the four-hour discussion on The Shawn Ryan Show, Ripperger said that during exorcisms demons have revealed to him the sins of various people “very high up within the Catholic Church.” A word of caution: normal people who are not ordained to the priesthood should never engage in conversation with demons. Ever. Even Fr. Ripperger should exercise great caution when speaking with agents of the devil, who lie powerfully and wield deception as their most destructive weapon against souls.
“They’ve talked about very specific details” concerning sins that members within the Church hierarchy have committed, the exorcist said. “And it’s not just me. Other exorcists also get bits and pieces of this stuff.” Ripperger then shared that demons have even given him names of some corrupt Church clergy.
He noted that a number of people “within the Vatican” are displeased with his work. Ryan asked the priest why this would be the case. He responded, “If you’re involved in sins that are particularly egregious, you’re not going to want someone like me out there trying to teach people the faith and how to fight the good fight and become more knowledgeable about their faith.”
One has to wonder what kind of sins Ripperger is talking about. The sin that immediately leaps to mind for critics of the Catholic Church is the molestation of children. That would definitely fit the definition of “egregious.” Nothing is more vile than someone stealing a child’s innocence to satisfy impulses that he should keep under control.
Later, Ryan asked Ripperger if he wanted people to know anything else about corruption in the Church hierarchy. He replied that “we need to pray for the Church’s protection and that God will give us holy leaders.” He then added that “you get the leaders you deserve.”
What he means is that because many Catholics do not take their faith seriously and live in grave sin, they more readily accept false teachers who tickle their ears instead of teaching them how to live holy lives. All Christians must live obediently to God’s commandments. That is not easy, especially in our technologically advanced age where half-naked people appear everywhere on social media. Still, God has not relaxed the commandments. We must conform ourselves to the image of Christ.
Ripperger later said that the prayer he would most often say for Church leadership is the Hail Mary, explaining that the Blessed Mother is “the one that’s going to, I think, convert them in the end.” And he’s absolutely right. One of the Virgin Mary’s main missions as Queen of Heaven and Earth is the conversion of sinners. She has always worked to bring the lost to her Son.
I firmly believe the Blessed Mother brought about my own conversion to Christianity in general and to Catholicism later on. Through the rosary, I encountered Mary and became convinced of many teachings of the Catholic Church. Meditating on the mysteries also brought me closer to Christ and helped free me from the bondage of lifelong sins I once believed I would never escape.
Without Mother Mary, I would never have experienced this new level of intimacy with Christ. If she can do that for me, she can do it for corrupt Church leaders. And I hope Fr. Ripperger is right and that we will see these bishops, cardinals, and priests truly convert.
