I see Fr Ripperger in the title, I like.

Yes, I love his lectures! His sermons about angels and other about virtues, vices and basic catholic dogmas brought me closer to God, than I ever was in my life. Could listen to him explaining traditional, real Catholicism, all day...

This was very helpful. I caretake my dad with no income and his pension doesn't cover everything. We tithe 10% anyway, because God is our source of everything and takes care of us.

Thanks!

Thank you Fr. Ripperger and Sensus Fidelium .

THREE HAIL MARY'S FOR FR. RIPPERGER

Always good to see the Society being promoted. They and the Auxilium Christianorum should be spoken of more often.

Bless you padre Viva Christo Rey

3 Hail Marys with love from Liverpool England x

Thank you Father. Will pray you and the Dolorans get a beautiful chapel soon.

Father Ripperger, I thank God for you, and thank you for being such a solid priest!!! Like so many people here, I promise to pray 3 Hail Marys for you every day/night! God bless you Father!🙏🙏🙏

Call your dioceses people, we all need to know.

Father you are awesome. We have the same principle of how to use that blessing most of it for the poor & religious order. God bless us!

We have a wonderful new traditional Religious Community in the Santa Rosa Diocese. Bishop Vasa helped to start them in 2011. They started with 2 , today there are 12 with 4 more coming in August. They are the Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa.

Thank you SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO GIVE MY TITHE TO THE CANCELLED PRIEST WHO ARE BEING PERSECUTED BY THEIR BISHOPS NOT ALLOWING THESE AWESOME PRIEST TO PREACH OUR TRUE FAITH THAT I’VE BEEN DYING TO HEAR FOR ALLL MY ADULT LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no affiliation with Fr Ripperger other than these talks. I believe he is Holy Spirit led and encourage other to pray and give tithings to Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother that he is apart of leading. Also to link your intentions with Auxilium Christianorum which is Mary Help of Christians to pray for us in Latin.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (RHE) Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

When you designate a restricted fund, the pastor might be obligated to that restriction but unfortunately he isn't the one who handles the money. Sharon in the parish office collects everything and makes one bank deposit and there goes your restriction. A better approach is for the parishioners to form a 501(c)(3) and make their donations into that. It's a non-profit so their donations are still tax-deductible, just as they are when made to the church. The parishioners then pay bills directly from that fund so they never go through the church's finances. For example, when the church needs a new roof, the roofers are paid directly from the 501(c)(3).

@Sensus Fidelium another good organization is the New Saint Thomas Institute run by Dr. Taylor Marshall

How about donating to a religious institute outside of the church, like radio Maria or Church Militant?

Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts, such as taxes, in a particular country or socio-economic context. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value and sometimes, a standard of deferred payment. Any item or verifiable record that fulfills these functions can be considered as money. Money is historically an emergent market phenomenon establishing a commodity money, but nearly all contemporary money systems are based on fiat money. Fiat money, like any check or note of debt, is without use value as a physical commodity. It derives its value by being declared by a government to be legal tender; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the boundaries of the country, for "all debts, public and private". Counterfeit money can cause good money to lose its value. The money supply of a country consists of currency (banknotes and coins) and, depending on the particular definition used, one or more types of bank money (the balances held in checking accounts, savings accounts, and other types of bank accounts). Bank money, which consists only of records (mostly computerized in modern banking), forms by far the largest part of broad money in developed countries.

Thank you Father

Beware the "restricted funds" route. I tried giving money to my former parish for the Express purpose of purchasing and/or installing an altar rail (which I knew the pastor wanted to do). After Covid shut masses down, they installed distancing stickers where the altar rail would have gone, and so I asked for the money back, since an altar rail clearly was not in the plans anymore. It turned out they just parked the money in the "Sanctuary beautification" fund (which obviously is NOT the primary purpose of an altar rail). If I hadn't asked for the money back, they could have used it on another ugly mural with an immodest Mary. Restrictung funds only really matters if they're audited, and if the auditor doesn't just accept whatever explanation they give (both of which are highly unlikely).

Thanks - I love these videos/talks! Is there any chance you can include some kind of estimate as to when the talk was given?

Sometimes corrupt !!!!! Total understatement. Support our pastors in paying off the men they abused. Sorry but I'm very cynical. I give my money straight to charities that are looking after the desperately poor here in Africa.

I have a question: is it ok to pray the rosary only mentaly\in the heart?

Father Ripperger good advice. But you would agree the faithful do not get the help that they need regardless of the nature. And if they receive a small helping hand it has been known for more than decades to be very inadequate and that to a general point of view. The majority of the times the faithful are on their own looking for jobs and shelter. We should of never have homeless Catholics sleeping on benches on the streets feeling hopeless and helpless while Priests are having fun with their peers in all kind of luxurious resorts from gay to straight We should reach out for them and genuinely help them short term and long term. Let us hope for a better organization in the Catholic church in the future. The faithful sometimes give money that they can't afford but get rejected in return when the need to be helped arises. Thank you Father.

can we give things instead of money like buy a statue and give it to the church or something else physical?

What about certain societies like the Catholic Near East Welfare Association or the Society of St Peter Apostle within the Society for the Propagation of the Faith?

I recently had an ICK secretary tell me that tithing 10% is a Protestant thing?! Any ideas??

is it 10% after you pay normal living expenses or 10% of what you make after taxes?

A difficulty during Q&A is that the person asking the question can't be heard and the answer is vague enough to not make sense to us watching the video.

I have student loan debts. Should I pay those off first before giving money?

There are churches in Africa that have no floors or music instrument's. I got so sick and tired of the scandals i only support the churches growing in Africa. I work very hard for my money and cannot imagine it going to pay for any scandal. i think it is a disgrace to close down all the churches or sell a church that later becomes a gym or shopping mall. Although this was not a catholic church the fact it was a church which was turned into a gym i think that is an abomination.

Yes none of them are perfect and they are getting worst.

Is crypto currency coming

The earmarking advice doesn't make any sense. That's like giving funds to PP with directions to only use them for mammograms. Fact is, it still free up funds for their other non-legitimate activities.
