Fr. Ripperger on How the Devil Attacks Your Family
Satan and his demons are targeting your family—but his attacks are often far more subtle than most Catholics realize. Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger explains why the devil's primary strategy is often not dramatic possession, but subtle attacks on our thoughts, perceptions, and relationships. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, years of experience as an exorcist, and the wisdom of the saints, he reveals how resentment, distorted assumptions, and the loss of daily self-sacrifice slowly erode marriages and family life—and what Catholics can do to resist these attacks. He also highlights God's providence, the purpose of suffering, spiritual discipline, the reality of the occult, and how to achieve holiness in a world increasingly marked by spiritual conflict. 💲Use Coupon Code CGS50 to get 50% off any work of Spiritual Warfare at TAN Books: https://tanbooks.com/books/topic/spiritual-warfare Special recommendations: 📕 The Liber Christo Method (foreword by Fr.

SSPX: Both Sides of the Controversy | Fr. Gerald Murray, J.C.D. & Fr. Jonathan Loop, FSSPX
This special four-hour episode confronts one of the most consequential questions facing the Catholic Church today: is the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) on the right side of history? The SSPX’s Fr. Jonathan Loop argues that a continuing crisis in the Church has created a state of necessity that can justify extraordinary measures to preserve Catholic tradition and the priesthood. Fr. Gerald Murray does not think those extraordinary measures are justified and that the SSPX’s misapplication of canon law undermines the Church's divinely established authority. BIOGRAPHIES Fr. Jonathan Loop is a priest of the Society of Saint Pius X, a convert to the Catholic Faith, and a respected educator, speaker, and apologist known for his clear defense of Catholic tradition. Ordained in 2011, he has devoted his priesthood to forming young Catholics, preaching the Faith, and addressing the challenges facing the Church today. Fr. Gerald E. Murray is a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, canon lawyer, author, and widely respected commentator on Catholic doctrine, canon law, and ecclesiastical affairs. Ordained to the priesthood in 1984, he has devoted decades of priestly ministry to the defense and explanation of the Church’s perennial teaching and is one of the most recognizable voices in contemporary Catholic discourse. 🔗 LINKS TO RELEVANT DOCUMENTS: Graphic Comparing Dignitatis Humanae to Earlier Encyclicals: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GO27hrK9baeF7Sqa0A9iI59lzjw1Fkg3/view SSPX Article Announcing the Episcopal Ordinations: https://fsspx.news/en/news/general-house-announces-names-future-bishops-59319 Pope St. Paul VI’s comments on Vatican II: https://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/it/audiences/1966/documents/hf_p-vi_aud_19660112.html EDITING NOTE: To be as fair and impartial as possible, we have included all responses in full.
