I’m learning so much! So much I didn’t know about the Catholic faith

[YuniG-Carver]

Edit: being a priest (not pope) is a great responsibility. He seems like a hands on, doer. Saving souls thru his ministry will surely earn his ticket to heaven. Virgin Most Powerful, pray for us. Queen of priests, pray for them.

I am much holier because of my husband. Not so much because he makes me holy but because he encourages me to be holy.

[JesusMary_I_Loveyousavesouls]

Very interesting what you just said regarding unnulment. My partner insists we are married but we never had sacramental marriage only the african customary dowry ceremony. Thanks Fr for confirming what I always thought to be true also based on the catechism

[adyespinosa]

I like how you explain marriage. Most of the time we ignore what the priorities are. We all should learn them before committing to a life long relationship.

Even considering that love is in the 3rd place, love also requires a certain level of maturity since equating “feeling nice” with love is the cause of lots of problems.

On the other hand, there a special situations where being mature doesn’t make a marriage work. If one of the spouses is not willing to listen to the other, or make reasonable changes or getting help when needed, as it happens with people with addictions, and/or with personality problems, like naricism for instance. It would be unreasonable for the mature party to expect an improvement making sacrifices for a spouse that doesn’t reciprocate the interest in making their marriage work. I understand that you are talking to regular couples ; yet, these problems are very common.

The only thing that 😥 disappointed me about Fr. Ripperger's AWESOME talk here was his omission of adopted children. If the earth is already overpopulated, isn't the Good Lord saying, "Enough, already! Take of these waifs, one or two, or however many you can manage, even if only one, and make them your own, and then I will Bless you beyond expectations!"
That is the voice i heard from the Lord after my diagnosis of infertility, and that is the voice i followed. My husband was not so keen, but he eventually agreed, and our family was this formed. Had we listened to this talk given by Fr. Ripperger first, it would have strengthened our marriage for the upcoming storms of life, such as alcoholism, etc., etc. But this has appeared only 3 years ago, and our marriage was over 35 years ago, when the Catholic Church was NOT teaching this at the time of our premarital "lessons" together.
God Bless you, Fr. Ripperger--the WORLD needs your teaching(s). Please include adopted children next time. Best Wishes!

[levikainalu]

[aaronandmommy]

May Mary protect you and guard you with Saint Micheal amen 🙏

[lizburke]

Very enlightening! Thank you Father Ripperger. God Bless you!

[krysta-ajhaah-min-yah]

Where can I find a spiritual director/advisor as wise as he?... I need real practical spiritual guidance.

[evaschroeder]

Some teenage Christains too reject the garbage that's out there. I almost did but I suffered from generational curses that caused me to stumble a bit. But I could pass wisdom onto my children to avoid pitfalls I fell into.

[buscandoelcatolicismo]

What about the supposed changes in canon law about the ends of marriage? I never understood why that was done, or what that means...

[evaschroeder]

What about love is an act of will not a feeling.

[panes]

My confused is that Catholic stance on a seriously now overpopulated world. Its crazy! Whats tge Catholic church view of this. I get what this amazing priest is saying and he makes sense, bit in yodays world we are just over populated. So, any suggestions?
