Fr. Ripperger just explained the complete break down of Human civilization in the last 130 years. This man is a spiritual Einstein!

Father Ripperger, I'm the only Catholic in my whole family anywhere I know of coming into the church just 2 years ago at age 62. I love to hear the wisdom God has given you,you have been a blessing to me.

Please pray for me..for conversion and holiness and healing...

I'm a Baby Boomer and I attended Traditional Latin Mass before Vatican II when I was very young. When Vatican II occurred, my parents strayed away from the Church and eventually divorced. My Grandmother was a very devout Catholic, she was born in a South American country. She was sent to a convent for her education. We went to mass together. I learned so much from her about Catholicism. She told me about demons in her native country and how to protect myself from them. I pray for my parents and Grandmother every day. My family and I attend Latin mass every Sunday, that's 3 generations. Thank you God for such a blessing.

The suffering I experienced under my lukewarm Protestant baby boomer parents, aunt and uncle are what led me to the Catholic Church but I hope that my past suffering doesn’t prevent me from starting a family. Please pray for me

Totally on target--I am 92 and I can see how these events have progressed over the decades. Those now in power are the fruits of the lost generation and will only get worse.

This priest is brilliant. He explains things we know but cannot put into words. This should be shared over and over

His torching of the "Greatest Generation" myth is epic.

This makes so much sense. As a GenX I've been so busy blaming the baby boomers that I didn't see what the greatest generation did to ruin the baby boomers. I think as a parent, there's so much to learn from these observations what not to do to promote a better society later on. I've found that not only has the baby boomers neglected the GenXers as children, aka "latch key kids", but they've also neglected being supportive grand parents and helping my generation learning how to parent. I've learned more about life through KZfaq than I ever have through familial support.

It is 2023 and I am just now listening to this as I work from home. WOW. I am a woman who has no children, but man oh man, do I understand exactly what Fr. Ripperger is saying. Wow.

Father Ripperger is an extraordinary priest. God bless him. I always pray Hail Mary for him.

Born in 1961, as of this year, I’ve been seeking the Catholic religion, this is not what I would have previously thought I’d do. Loving this journey so far, God is up to something. I know it❤🙏. And, discovered Fr. Ripperger, wow what a major God-send🫶🏼✌️

My grandparents were wonderful people but they definitely indulged my aunt and my mom and both married abusive men unfit to be husbands or raise children properly. And I’m a convert and the first Catholic in my family. By the grace if God I was confirmed in the Catholic Church 2 months ago as the coronavirus pushed it past Easter. My grandma was a full time school teacher and part of the WW2 generation but she still happily submitted to my grandpa and they had a wonderful marriage of 60 years. I just wish they had instilled their values (not Catholic but still traditional conservative mainline Protestant) to my mom and aunt so that I wouldn’t have had to suffer the consequences of a dysfunctional and abusive family and the scars that come with it. Please pray for me

If you want a first hand account of how one of these generations was like (Gen Y, I think) look up the testimony of Fr. Don Calloway who lived the life to its fullest when he was a youth. Spine chilling. He's called now the "Poster Boy of the Divine Mercy" because how he got out of all that amoral lifestyle was a miracle.

I wish Fr. Ripperger were a priest in my parish, don't you?

3 Hail Marys and love from Liverpool England

Poor Father, talking about suffering while sniffling through a stinking cold. Brilliant conference, thankyou.

I am Gen X and went to Catholic School for 12 years. Not because my parents (baby boomers) were religious, but because they were showing off that they could afford it. We were made to walk to Church every Sunday (without them, envelope in hand and had to bring home a bulletin to prove we went). Now in their 70s, they are ridiculously liberal (way more than I ever was), support every gay agenda and think I am a bigot because of my views and ridiculous because of my Faith. We had an actual family dispute because I rejected (and insisted they did also) going to a psychic/medium after my brother passed away (a homosexual who died of alcoholism). Also there was a complete invasion and interference of the raising of my children. Pride, greed and hypocrisy is a hallmark of the boomer generation in my opinion/experience.

I want to be like Fr. Ripperger when I grow up.

I don’t think us Gen Xers are particularly unmotivated. My experience as well as my peers has generally been to watch our parents throw themselves into their careers at the expense of spending time with their children, usually to pursue bigger and better material goods. My wife and I went the opposite route. We’re thrifty, we bought a small house well below our price range, and we don’t build our entire lives around our careers. We actually spend time with our kids and guide their spiritual development far more closely.

I see this all the time in my generation. Many arent bad people. they just are looking for the answer and will cling to whatever offers itself. Paganism looks interesting because the mainstream church has no teeth, no bite. But Ive met a GREAT number of Gen Zers (Myself included) who only want the truth and we search tirelessly for it and fight tooth and nail to spread it, I have forever! But I was lost looking for god and like most, I had no idea where to find him. If you want to convert Gen Z, All you need to do is preach! the full, unadulterated truth. We have no moral foundation, And so there is nothing that will stop us from adopting Catholicism save for weakness and lukewarmness. but if the Church Militant Showed itself? So many would flock to stand under its banner! We all long for the Church of the Crusades! So many of us still Meme Deus Vult, because deep down we are crying for the God we never knew.

44:00 Paganism is huge, it's gaining a lot of momentum. He's not exaggerating at all. When I was in my sinful lifestyle, I attended a Pagan wedding. I just thought nothing of it, it's nature blah blah blah. Nope, it was a sign I need out and stop with this relationship. It's absolutely true. All my gay friends aren't ashamed of the Occult ties and they complain about their depression. Why? It's just a denial of the Truth.

I'm watching this now, june 23 2020, and wow. Fr. Ripperger predicted this, thru Our Lord, and Our Savior Jesus Christ. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Born in 74, and my parents were 1924 and 1933 and my mother ruled the house. It was so ridiculous. 😐 Nonetheless, we went to church and the Catholic religion was still instilled. I'm still practicing and my sister is.

Gosh, I’m glad I was raised in a strict, religious household. Yes I have my defects (Gen Y here) but only the Lord knows how much more damaged I would be without a Christian foundation.

I can’t get enough of Father Ripperger’s knowledge and Holy Wisdom ❤️ You feed me Father! I am so hungry for the truth, my parents didn’t teach me anything about out Catholic Faith. I feel like I will be the one who will learn and show my kids and grandchildren. Can I get your blessing, I’m hoping my husband will come to understand the sacrament of Marriage. Our son is 8 years old now. And I would love to get married in the Church. I want to give my son the Gift of Marriage. I do not want him to live with someone before Holy Marriage ❤️

First time listening to this. Father nails my generation (and my sinful behaviors). I at least know now where to pray against spiritual attack.

I love this father! He has single handedly brought me back to my Catholic roots Thank you father bless u

I hope and pray for the conversion of today’s children. Maybe they will, like some of the kids of the hippies of the 60s and 70s, grow up and long for the traditional family things because they never had them. God bless Fr. Ripperger

After seeing my 90 year old grandma show super catholic yet diabolic tainted behavior most of my life until she died it has been hard for me to understand sooooo much. Thank you for truth. Praise be to God..... You are a voice that helps so many.

I’m tempted to be like “yeah, exactly! That’s why I’m so glad im not like the rest of my generation! Those other ones are all evil, but thank God im special” but instead im going to pray that God shows me the ways I really am like some of the bad qualities of all these generations, and the way to help him repair our broken society.

Father is outstanding expressing what is wrong with moral compass of generations of Americans.

My boomer parents immigrated to California in 1974 from a part of Italy with a devout but ignorant peasant faith. The generational spirit on the Italian boomers is different enough to be distinguishable: closer to the U.S.’s “greatest generation” but also afflicted with a distinct shame of the faith and religion they inherited based on their belief that it was based on ignorance and superstition. This belief persisted throughout to Generation Y and lingers. But as my parents arrived in the USA at 20 and 22 years old, they then took on some of the US generational spirit vices. As a generation X, I did not grow up narcissistic because my rare disorder caused me profound suffering all throughout my childhood and I was instinctively inclined to being docile to it even before I embraced it as a grace. My parents were abusive as a result of my condition. My boomer mother has narcissistic personality disorder. Both my parents are unable to fully accept that modernism and the infiltration in the Church duped them. So things can be a little reversed in comparison to the overall development of the generational spirits that Father R describes here although he is without a doubt correct generally. However, I disagree with his simplistic view of the relationship between husband and wife. He and 95% of clergy appear incapable of the proper understanding of the conditional aspect of St. Paul’s teaching but I know from personal experience that it is the case. The condition is: wife submit to your husband WHEN AND IF your husband loves you as Christ Jesus loves His Church. Not that the husband needs to be perfect, but he needs to be honestly trying. My husband is vexed by evil spirits, generational spirits and likely has mental illness in the form of personality disorder. If I submit to his authority I risk losing my salvation. I have learned to discern when I can submit to his whims without putting myself in danger, and when I absolutely must not. When I don’t submit to his evil I have to grab my daughter and flee for most or all of the day. I am abused in every way by him-though with God’s grace the physical abuse has mostly subsided. Most women don’t stick around with an abusive husband long enough to reap the spiritual benefits that I am obtaining. And it’s not my merit: I have been legally stuck abroad with him. My situation is relatively rare and thus most priests alive today are not aware of situations like mine, that make it absolutely CLEAR that it’s wrong for a wife to unconditionally submit to a husband just as it’s wrong to unconditionally submit to the hierarchy-they could be wolves in sheep’s clothing or leading people astray. Following their iniquitous lead-instead of Christ and His truth-would be idolatry. Generally speaking, women are perfectly capable of discerning these things and should work to lovingly inspire/lead/pray their gravely sinning husbands back-in fact, it’s their DUTY to help their husbands to heaven. Certainly, in my case, I am the only one depending on Our Lady, especially through the rosary and the Eucharist to protect my family and accept the fate of my marriage as nothing but a cross.

2020 and Hell on Earth has come. Fr Ripperger is right.

In all truth and honesty; my willingness too suffer, has led me too you Father Ripperger, and the Saint’s!!! God Bless the 🌎 🌍

The young children with immense grace mentioned at around 52:00 are truly a blessing, a total gift from the grace and mercy of God. God is good!!

"Divine Heart of Jesus,convert sinners,save the dying,set free the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Amen."

Will sin abounds, Grace more abounds. Thank you Father for revealing these truths

I remember my mother always telling me, all my life the privations she “suffered” as a child - how poor her family was, how food was limited, how much work she had to do as a little girl. She was part of “ the greatest generation”.

47:04 It's a heavy message, but the Hope is at 47:04 If Sin abounds, Grace Super-abounds!

O Lord come to our aid. Amen

Thank you...I am gen X and married to a Boomer. I always wanted my Mom to talk about growing up in the 40's and 50's, but she didn't share much to my disappointment bc I was obsessed w the 1950s as a young teen. She grew up in an orphanage and on weekends was taken care of by her grandma. I don't know why her parents weren't able to take care of her or her 4 siblings...she died in 1991 and all but the youngest of her siblings have died. It had something to do with alcoholism I am sad to say.

Listening to Father Chad Ripperger is a real joy. Sometimes I think he knows everything. God bless you with more wisdom and knowledge and grace and great lectures. Deo gratias.

This is excellent. Thank you Father RIPPENGER. May God pour out His graces to have all come back to the generation that will serve God as he deserves to be served. And loved as He should be loved, and to suffer for Him to bring glory to Our Heavenly Father.

No one talks about it this way. Thank you. Very good.

I got the Deliverance Prayers book. I haven't read it yet. I don't know why. I keep thinking about these generational spirits. I never realised they were real. I think there's something for me to discover. Now this video pops up. So here goes!

Thank you father you have made so much clear to me i am truly grateful . God bless and protect you.

😢 so God will set it straight again and I suspect it will be very solid.

Thank you, Fr. Ripperger, the best Educational in our secular World...,you could see them in our Catholic Church, their no resfect to one another. Not judgemental the way what going in our Catholic Church now a days.

Thank you, Father and God bless!!!

Thank you Fr. Chad! Beautiful overview of what is happening through the years! Thank you for the enlightenment!

His joke at the girl who questions him is one of the fastest, smartes ones I've ever heard. His sermons are priceless.

MIND BLOWN!!! 🤯

These have been the most interesting talks. Thank you. Penanceware done.

So far, I've listened to this 4x and probably will listen to it again. This talk has resonated completely for me. All my grandparents were immigrants from Europe and were born around 1890+ and -. I often tell my daughter that I feel absolutely lucky to have personally known relatives who grew up in times that were so much less materialistic and profoundly more religious than my own. I'm around Fr. Ripperger's age. Before it's too late, I would recommend that people from the older generations relay our observations and perspectives to the younger ones before it's too late.

This is incredible! Explaining what I have observed with my parents the absolute denial of how they handled the church!

Spot on. St. Augustine said that the most corruptible appetite of man is his sexual faculties. Hence generational spirits find this an easy target and ultimately leads to other evils including murder and other unholy deaths.

When I tried the triangulation trick, it did NOT work! But that's because my parents were 10-15 years older than those of my peers. Dr. Spock held no truck with them. Their sin was/is incommunication. So what are the results? I struggle with suffering, being able to offer it up out of love of God and others, I'm tempted to complain. But why would I? The generational curse can end here and now. Catholics who are aware of these things can work on combating evil. I teach the sixth generation, children aged 4-7. It's scary how so many have absolutely no sense of right or wrong, no idea that their behavior affects others, much less themselves! Over the last five years, the percentage of children with IEPs for behavioral and psychological issues has gone from about one or two out of 20, to being fully half my class! Some of their home lives are horror movies. But knowing nothing else, they think it's normal.

"Complaining" is like a disease that destroys from within. "Suffering" held absolutely no value to so many.

I am the gen z/millennial exception. Bringing my many children to TLM. I am raising the future church!

This is so interesting, thank you for sharing this very important video.

This is my 3rd time listening to this . I always need to be “ reminded “ of certain things.

This is very enlightening. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and understanding.

Thank you for this talk. It's very educational.

I would pray continually as a child with no knowledge of the Lord, thank you Lord for bringing me into your Holy Church!

Completely unrelated, but I wanted to share. Millennial ('88) here. Listened to this on the first time i watered my new sod grass on my new manufactured home i purchased land plot. Going from on the street to years later with my head kept down, watering my own lawn. Never thought I'd be able to have a peaceful life. Fr. Ripperger, you have been in my ears for this first home i scraped and scrapped for, as i worked hard and tried to be pleasing to My Father in all ways whether fail or otherwise. Thank you, ajd thank you and God bless you for this channel. Post Scriptum: this knowledge of intergenerational demonic attachments that grow and exponentially build on eachother to not just atrengthen the nexts' vices but make them all they can know and pave the way for greater loss of knowing of the Lord and his Virtue.. this is all very interesting , again, thank you for recording this. Christ is Risen!

Wow, Fr. Ripperger, I just got 2 your books and discovered your videos only a few days ago, and I have gotten many huge insights already! THANK YOU Fr.

Thank you for this wonderful discussion. My experience with family generations has been that God blessed us by allowing us to be of a class in society that experienced difficulties with a strongly based moral code. I was born on the cusp of the baby boomer generation and my children were born in the early seventies. My parents were not wealthy and demonstrated a strong work ethic and had no difficulty telling us we could not afford certain things. We learned to appreciate what we had. I found raising my children that my biggest struggle morally was my convictions were almost mocked by the Church. I was told I was too old fashioned, etc. my children seem to have better moral convictions than many of their generation but none of them go to church. My middle one made her first communion before her first confession. Prayers for all that we wake up and heed the Holy Spirit.

Oh that’s get a cup of coffee with this guy. He puts to words that which I knew but couldn’t explain. So I know where I have been and the why or how I got there & I see how I stumbled across the correct things to do .... what I run into now that I’ve been living more correctly in the last 8+ years is the acceptance that I missed the windows of time to do things such as be a traditional wife with a mentally stable nonviolent spouse. I have to deal with where I am now and accept that I’m to old to redo a sizable chunk of my life.

Great study, applied theology. Just wonderful explanatory commentary on God in flow of history. Thank you Father. The only trouble with this great video is that the questions and not clearly heard.

Father Ripperger has helped me return to the faith of Christianity from New Age beliefs. I am so grateful to him. Thank you father so much

My extended family has examples of all of this. Praise God, my three siblings and myself are all devout Catholics as are our spouses and children. I don’t know how the Spirit is working, but Ge definitely is in some of our younger generations. Edit: I’m from gen. X and fight narcissism, intemperance, and fear. Thank you, Fr. Ripperger! I love how you’re putting history in context!!

I deeply appreciate the direct way you speak the truth. That and the way your talks have impacted my self and my family.

Amazing amazing résumé about generations and what results they all created. GOD spoke through his faithful priest We all have to repent and pray for restoring

Spot on. Thank you Father Rp.

bless you Fr. you were so accurate about when trying to have a discussion regarding some offense, the offender exclaims 'stop attacking me!' there may be slight differences within the generations, but the lack of conscience or care for others is pretty much the same, as ppl have aged with the times and been conditioned as culture evolves. my heart is really broken. i am suffering this life and the actions of others the best i can.

This man Priest has my ultimate respect ...Thank You

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate. Amen.".

My parents were and are baby-boomers (Dad has passed), but always worked hard. They didn't become hippies, and their work ethics are so strong, I still can't keep up with. We were protestants (Baptists), but i converted to the Catholic Church at 21. My Granddad converted in the mid-60s, as Grandma was apparently raised a Catholic. I wish that my family (including grandparents) had had more communication and discussions about God.

I'm a 72 year old male. I know people in their 60s and 70s who still say they have no regrets being hippies, and claim they still are hippies. Others of those ages, among us Catholics (I converted to Catholicism in 1970), returned to going to mass, if they ever did in their youths, but still know little of traditional Catholicism, due to poor catechism, having led a hippie life or where influenced by it. Also, I know people in their 60s and 70s, now, divorced and dating other divorcees, or even living together, including some among them claiming to be Catholics, again in their 60s and 70s! Any around my age agree with me?

31:07 "The baby boomers are hallmarked by an inability to be led. You can't correct them, you can't tell them anything." This is so incredibly true. There is now a long list of health, political, and other issues that history has proven me right about that I've tried to warn my Protestant boomer parents about. It doesn't matter how many times they're wrong, they don't humble themselves. Please pray for them.

20+ minutes discussion of post-WWII women ... you're describing my mother. I remember a few times when I tried to talk to her about something that was upsetting me only to have her snarl at me to "Offer it up." All I got out of that was, "Shut up. Your feelings are stupid and I don't care about them." It was only decades later that I learned the proper meaning, method, and blessing of offering up my sufferings and it starts with acknowledging they exist.

This explains a lot.

Recommend “The Fourth Turning” by Strauss & Howe for more on the movement of the generations through history, particularly in America.

What about an abusive husband? My husband became incredibly abusive the more submissive and more virtuous I became the worse he became. He refused to suffer his own cross and wanted me to hold his suffering. He refused to go to church with me and our children. He used divide and conquer to control. The more I developed spiritually the worse he became. I was so tired of carrying the suffering for our relationship. In the beginning of our relationship him and his family seemed like a great Christian family. Come to find out through the grace of God I realized that his entire family doesn't want to suffer their cross and want scapegoats. I am generation X. My husband became a retarded soul and no matter how much love and suffering I carried he could not confront his demons.

For me, 5 and 6 generations back was when the Potato Famine was ravishing Ireland and my ancestors. I wonder what generational spirit was involved? Also, I would be interested in hearing Father talk about what happened at the Vatican lately.

Lord, protect this man from evil.

Thank you Fr. Ripperger for a very scholarly discussion on the downfall of a great country.

My mother did some terrible things as a narcissist, one being doing exactly what Fr. describes although for different reasons. She had been a doctor before she met my father and it's a long story but when it came time for her to stop working, she refused. HOWEVER, even tho she was part of the (not)Greatest Generation, and claiming to be 110% "American" she was able to pass on the traditional Italian values she had been raised with.Ironically, at least one generational spirit came thru her. There was a lot of "do as I say, not as I do." My father did as well so, now hearing this, I fully understand why I never fit in and why I don't think or feel American. The home of my heart is Southern Italy which, while changing, has for the most part, held those values. I was very glad to see in my most recent visit of a month, many men of all ages in the Church.

I have never heard anything like this before. It makes a lot of sense. No wonder we are such a mess. Of course everybody didn't have the exact experience however our environment does influence us. You have brought so much insight to what has happened to us all.

It's hard to hear criticism of yourself, even harder to admit that it's true. GenX here and almost everything he said fits me and all the people I know to a t. Some of us grew out of it, some of us took a lot longer than others, but the spirit is still there if you don't fight it constantly. Sorry to all those in the generations who came after mine for failing you so hard, some of us are working to fix it.

I can recognize in this discussion, the fallacies that I was raised with.

Thank you God bless

Pray for all of us trying to raise our little Gen Alphans/6th gens as God would have us. We have our work cut out for us.

I’ve seen grandparents, parents, children and kiddos not attending mass or anything for that matter! It’s Truly a generational curse!

Sometimes breaking of generational curses & oppression starts with one person saying, 'this behavior is wrong, I don't want to pass it on.' Hopefully their next step is to pray to exhibit the correct behavior, even if they don't know what that looks like. Generations continue in sin because they've never had a model of Godly behavior, or only had it exhibited by hypocrits.

Feminism was started before Marx Engels and Trotsky as children below the age of seven shivered and died in their mother's arms in the Great Potatoe Famine of Europe 1845 to 1847 as said in the La Salette Secret. Sweet Lord , Give us many holy priests. Allan

So my opinion that the generation or spirit of the sixties as an actual diabolic spirit which happened before me is probably a real spirit that the u.s. is seriously in need of deliverance from. My mom and I discussed it today. She and I have gotten on the same page with traditional catholicism at my behest. She and i through years of devastating relationship are coming together peacefully.

So much truth

Very insightful. I would add that Generation X is very different from Gen Y. Generation X, was I believe, the smallest generation, being the first generation of the pill, Roe v Wade, culturally acceptable divorce, latch key kids, AIDs, and the feminist movement. The Boomers danced with flowers in their hair, but we danced to punk rock and were fed John Hughes movies and MTV--much more apathy and cynicism than the boomers.
