Protestants conveniently ignore the fact that the "Reformation" was launched with the help of secular rulers at a time when the Catholic Church was busy defending Europe from the Ottoman Turks (Muslims). The Protestants left the defense of Europe to the Catholics and exploited the situation for their own advantage.
Pope Pius V mustered a navy from Catholic countries to defeat the Muslims in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, while Protestants worked against the Catholic Church in Europe.
The bishops are the successors of the apostles. Claiming that trusting my bishop is equal to "believe all women" is patently absurd.
Hope this helps!

"I trust my bishop" is right up there with "believe all women".
It's the same manipulative propaganda.
A bishop is a man. Catholics are not required to invest in a bishop our "undying trust". They should be called out when they do something wrong.

Restricting the Tridentine Mass is not hunting you "down like vermin." Good grief.
Calm down. Have some faith in God, in Jesus Christ, and His church.

There are a ton of "there must be more to this!" along with the drama videos and others speculating. Here's the deal. The bishop asked Fr. Ripperger to take time off to focus on his order and Father accepted it.
Extremely boring and not sexy at all. No scandal, no headlining behavior, no nothing. Just the boring truth.
He's still doing his thing, he just won't be on podcasts or at speaking engagements for a year. Let's all relax a bit, please.
The reaction to Archbishop Golka asking an exorcist to focus on his local mission, for just a year mind you, is insane.

All LifeSite cares about is bashing the Pope. I like Fr. Ripperger, but I do think that he spends so too much time on podcasts, especially given his interviewers almost exclusively want to chat about the demonic and evil with him.
I trust my bishop. I doubt Fr.R minds the break.
SCANDAL: Pope Leo appointed the archbishop who just silenced Fr. Ripperger to the Archdiocese of Denver in February 2026.
Archbishop Golka has asked him to halt all talks, preaching and writing for a full year.

It's true. Protestants bash Catholics claiming that we don't know or care about the Bible, when they clearly are only truly attached to cherry picked verses from their particular pastor.
If you attended Mass everyday for 3 years, you would basically hear the whole Bible.

A lot of Catholics are learning that Protestants don't read much from the four Gospels. They really stick to a few select chapters of Paul.

Jesus: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
Protestants: “Best I can do is faith alone.”
Confession is such an incredible gift. It heals the soul, there is a reason why it is called reconciliation.
Literally states that the priest read from the Gospel of Matthew, preached on the passage from Matthew, and still has the audacity to claim that the Gospel was not preached at the Mass at all.
Protestantism is deeply unserious.
I’m watching a Roman Catholic Mass on TV. So far, a priest has bowed to a table and kissed something on the table. He’s reading something and people are saying things back to him. Now he is praying. Now a woman is reading from Isaiah. Singing. The woman is reading one of Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians. Singing. The priest is reading from Matthew. Now he’s explaining the passage that he read which was about paying taxes. Give to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God’s. He bows to the table again. He reads something and the congregation responds. The woman reads something else. The woman leads in prayer. The congregation responds again at certain points in the prayer. The priest reads more. Music. The priest is at the table preparing a cup. More words and responses. Singing. More words from the priest. Talking about the last supper. Singing. Priest praying. Priest singing something over the cracker and wine. More singing. Praying the Our Father. More sing. More words from priest. He then eats the cracker and drinks the wine. More singing while the congregation comes to get their crackers. Moment of silence. Prayer. Priest dismisses congregation. Priest kisses something on the table again. Priest bows to table again. The end.
My take: The gospel wasn’t preached. It was all ritual and very dry. I don’t see how anyone could come to faith in Jesus in that environment.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per the post itself, the priest read from the Gospel of Matthew and then preached about it.
"The priest is reading from Matthew. Now he’s explaining the passage that he read which was about paying taxes. Give to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God’s."

The primary focus of a homily should be the readings from the Bible & the life of people in the parish.
Pop culture is way down the list of topics to be covered that it should rarely come up, except maybe as an example of a point you're making.

The liturgy is not merely an outward observance, but a living encounter with God. Let us participate in the liturgy consciously, devoutly, and actively, so that we may grow in faith. #GeneralAudience
Yes. Thank you Pope Leo ❤️
JUST IN: Pope Leo today praised Vatican 2's liturgical reform as necessary & in order to make liturgy “more accessible”
The Novus Ordo is “firmly rooted in the living tradition of the Church” he added
Understanding such reform is key to resisting liturgical abuses that “still occur from time to time today”
