Exorcist Chad Ripperger: Possessed Politicians, Occult Activity, and Speaking to Satan Himself
Father Chad Ripperger, an experienced Catholic exorcist, discusses demonic possession, influence, and the spiritual warfare occurring in modern society. He explains how demons operate, the signs of possession, and argues that America is under increasing demonic influence through phenomena like pornography, abortion, and corrupt leadership.
Summary
Father Chad Ripperger, who has performed exorcisms for 18 years, explains that 23% of the Gospels deal with Christ casting out demons, yet modern Christianity has largely abandoned this practice due to the rise of psychology in the 1950s-60s. He describes demons as fallen angels with fixed wills bent on malice, possessing only intellect and will, and operating under Christ's ultimate authority. Ripperger outlines different levels of demonic influence: ordinary temptation (experienced by all), oppression (external attacks), obsession (psychological attacks), and possession (taking control of body parts). He details the signs of possession including morphing (physical transformation), superhuman strength, speaking unknown languages, and occult knowledge. The priest explains that demons have a hierarchy under Satan, with five key demons influencing America: Ball (fornication), Asmodeus (male homosexuality), Lilith and Leviathan (female homosexuality), and Baphomet (child sacrifice/abortion). He argues these influences entered American society through legal changes regarding fornication, same-sex marriage, and abortion. Ripperger describes his personal experiences with possessed individuals, noting that demons can provide accurate theological knowledge and information about people's private lives. He emphasizes that possession often results from grave sins (like occult involvement) or severe trauma (especially sexual abuse), but requires God's permission. The exorcist explains that liberation requires prayer, fasting, and the possessed person's genuine desire to be free. He warns about increasing demonic influence through pornography, which he claims is sometimes cursed to increase addiction, and sees patterns of demonic psychology in communist thinking and corrupt politicians. Ripperger believes America is approaching divine punishment for its moral decline but remains hopeful that God will intervene to correct society.
