Father, I am so grateful for you. Your remark on the lack of shame for one’s own ignorance is particularly rampant. I thank God for your teaching, which has helped this adult convert identify the depths of her sins, and to repent of and confess them (weekly). May He give me the grace to continue the good fight, bolstered in large part by wisdom from holy priests like you. Praying for you and learning from you all the time.

The virtue of silence. Regulating the pleasure in talking. 👍🏼🎯

Fr. Ripperger is a blessing. A light and voice of wisdom, reason, and sound teaching. Thanks be to God for him. Prayers for our clergy is essential and urgent VIVA CRISTO REY 🔥❤️🔥

He's so right about how natural you become as you grow in virtue and the spiritual life. I think my mannerisms have become more normal since I started walking down this path. It wasn't even something I've practiced but it just started clicking. I'm also more aware of my eccentricities, especially after focusing on growing in humility. Because humility keeps you grounded you realize all the weird or unnatural stuff about you.

Thank you, Father Ripperger, for teaching us. I very much appreciate each video I have had an opportunity to listen to & the knowledge gained & have recommended them to others.

Father Ripperger, AKA Answers Are Us. So appreciative of this man!

Thank you Father for your guidance 🙏 praying for you 🙏❤

A few years ago I had a conversation with a young person. Towards the end of my well-ordered speech, she gave me a curtsy.

Silence is golden ✨️ 💛 👌 💖 💯 😌 ✨️

Thank you Father, very informative!

Fr.Ripperger always has such good talks! Very Useful when he mentioned the sin of drunkenness

Brother ben from Ecuador greetings !!!

I love this video and I’ll be keeping it as a reference

In Southern European countries you have to yell even louder to be heard in a restaurant full of people than in the US. It's central and northern Europe where people seem to understand the value of speaking at an appropriate volume.

21:43 Being a brazillian myself, I confirm what fr. Ripperger is pointing out. I dare to say that we down here are in the top 3 of the rank... sad but true.

What about emotional eating or eating out of boredom? Are they forms of gluttony? Are they mortal or venial?

The Pioneer Total Abstinence Association (PTAA) is a Catholic based temperance movement against alcohol consumption. You can do a year or for life. The rules are very simple and can be found on line. I drink alcohol but signed up with the PTAA for a year. Apart from the discipline, I'm curious as to how I'll react.

😊

Fr. Ripperger, do you recommend Prummer for moral theology? I heard you mention something by Connelly(?) published in 1921(?)

I wonder where i can find out more sources on this point of eccentricity vs. naturalness.

5:37 What virtue is he talking about? I can't find a definition anywhere and I desperately want to develop that virtue as soon as possible.

48:15 where can I read about this stages?

What do you think of those that drink alcohol everyday?

@45:00 Fr. Brian Doerr. Good and holy priest.

29:00 gluttony

Who knew it's a mortal sin to get drunk? I watch these videos and I think uh oh... so many things you're not aware of.But it's only a mortal sin if you're aware that it is? and do it knowingly. What else have I done? yikes.

Saying "like" is one peeve but these people who drag their voices...ugh! I have seen doctors on an ad recently who sounded horrible with the reptilian voice. 😫
