Celebrity exorcist priest to take one-year ‘media fast’ after meeting with Denver archbishop
At the urging of his archbishop, a prominent Catholic exorcist in the Denver Archdiocese is taking a one-year break from public speaking and interviews which have garnered millions of views on social media.
A renowned Catholic priest and exorcist in Denver is planning a one-year hiatus from public engagements, following a meeting with the city's archbishop. Rev. Chad Ripperger, known for his significant online presence, will devote his time to the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother, a religious group he founded, and the individuals it supports.
The decision stems from a conversation with Denver Archbishop James Golka, who asked Ripperger to consider the break. Ripperger has since gained millions of views on social media, discussing topics such as aliens being demons and dismissing evolution. However, these discussions have led to debates within the church community. Ripperger's pause aligns with similar actions taken by another prominent Catholic exorcist, Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, who was removed from his role after expressing beliefs on UFO sightings as demonic phenomena.
