Many are quoting this priest and his thoughts.....can any of you tell me more about him? Is he with an order or secular? I think he is an exorcist? Would like more information on this priest if anyone can share on him. Thank you.

Ripperger is currently in Archdiocese of Denver establishing a religious order of semi-contemplative priests (Doloran Fathers) who will specialize in aiding those in the most spiritual need.

I, too, would like to hear more about why this particular priest is so influential, particularly in the trad world, right now. When I was in a TLM group on FB, not a day went by where Fr. Ripperger wasn't quoted as the authority on one thing or another...
I would imagine he is popular as he is very clear about doctrine and dogma and is able to explain church teaching in a coherent manner. Unlike the current fudge at the top that drives one to distraction.
He's extremely traditional, adheres to the Church teachings of the 2000-year Magisterium. He can explain things in a down-to-earth fashion, but he always tells the Truth.
See for yourself. Search for Father Chad Ripperger on YouTube. I love Fr. Chad. His knowledge on exorcism and spiritual warfare is incredible. Blessings to all
thank you all, I will watch him on Youtube....I just wanted some minor background as to why he is so wonderful in your eyes. Don't know him at all but lately he is spoken about in many of my circles
