The psychology behind the demonic | Fr. Vincent Lampert 

Fr. Ripperger has a program where they are working with Psychologists. Have you heard?

Scary/frustrating story from me: I’m an ER nurse and once I was taking care of a young woman who was anxious about everything despite having a rather benign complaint and normal vital signs. However, we were still going to do a work up to make sure we weren’t missing anything glaring. Long story short, I had to really be patient while doing anything in her room and allow her a lot of time to process how we were going to care for her. After she calmed down and thanked us for our patience, I looked to see if she had ever seen anyone regarding her anxiety. It turns out that she had issues with this for many years and to my surprise, one nurse practitioner actually recommended that she address her spiritual needs by looking into REIKI or YOGA. 🤦‍♂️ I said a prayer to St. Michael as soon as I read that.

i've been a mental health patient. i knew i needed spiritual help from my practitioners but i knew there was no way i was going to get it. it was terrible. they kill people doing what they do.

@@claytonhall989 ikr? They're so quick to recommend yoga, but never say anything about prayers. The rosary for example is great for anxiety, since it's repetitive and involves using fingers to feel a physical object and repeat simple motions. But I guess religion is offensive nowadays so they just go yoga for everyone.

​@@conantheseptuagenarian3824that's why you need to go to a church, preferable Catholic to get the Holy Spirit, go to mass, confession, join prayer ministries and you will feel change happen in your life. Find multiple sources for the support you need, don't just rely on one source, God bless 🙏✝️🙏

He's not any more qualified to speak on it than Fr Lambert

​@audreykunkel He is also excellent. I would enjoy hearing from him and Father Dan Reehill too.

@@ruthgilmour8399 if you want to hear from him he's all over RU-vid. Traditional Catholic media is saturated by Fr Ripperger

@@audreykunkelhe is equally qualified

@@catholicconvert2119he is all over already. He has given more talks than all other exorcists combined. Is there anything he hasn't talked about? If you listen to this talk, you will hear Fr. Lambert point out some imprudent behaviors of Fr Ripperger

Reason can be a wonderful thing - when and if used.

I like convert it keeps us humble of our lowly status

That would be amazing!!!!

That will never happen. FrRipperger is in schism.

Fr. John Szada

Fr Lampert, Fr Ripperger & Msgr Rossetti. 3 Exorcists I trust.

Preach brother

Fr.Vincent did say that God should be feared.( I don't think you were listening) 😕 When you decide to leave your life of sin, God is always there to receive you with open arms, unlike satan who will make you suffer more. Judgment is layed down when the flesh dies and goes to hell but on earth God gives us a chance to confess and repent.

@@Milkchocolate99 Don't pretend like you know anything about me... or my "Life of sin"... You have ZERO idea how I live my life.

Sounds pretty loud on my end.

It is called art and human imagination. Are you an iconoclast?

No that’s not quite correct. Yes no one has authority to sell their soul as it’s God’s but the will is always free. All the exorcists I’ve ever read/ listened to say possession is the control of the body. Not the soul. Our wills are always free. Fr Chad Ripperger talks more in depth about this, he has said that there are some possessed he works with who are actually so holy because their will is in line with God even though their bodies have been possessed. But some people who are possessed though are happy to be so and can’t be helped, just as Jesus didn’t work many miracles among those who had no faith. But the will is always free (though our freedom might be diminished through psychological suffering and might be much weakened as sin makes our wills weaker and intellect darker etc). Satan does not inhabit the Will. It’s off limits. He can only suggest and manipulate other things to influence our choice to be what he wants but he can’t make that decision for us. As Fr John Hardon said ‘The Will has power over the will’ - meaning our will is ours. We always have a choice.

Instead of sell their soul, just think of it in terms of eternal destruction and/or damnation. If you think of it like that, than ya, they do. So be very careful what you teach and tell people.

Your PhD in theology is from where again...?

By His power demons are cast out.

Yes. Post traumatic stress syndrome is surprisingly common and can arise from many different traumas

@@boomct8569 Isn't it about time we stopped focusing only on percieving that kind of mental illness as evidence of the demonic while ignoring the real demonic spirit at work spanning the globe that causes it which is called obsession with bigger and 'better' weapons to go with more land titles spanning over a wider range with no real care about how our environment is being managed? Some of those same leaders are greenwashing that all over when calling for only limited means of reducing carbon emissions that omits all associated with the military.

The smoker you drink, the player you get. Proven.

Because shut up?

Preach brother go become a priest

Is it not better to pray for CONVERSION than to cast aspersion?

I think you misunderstand the Catholic position on this. All grace comes through Christ. He's the source (mediator). That said, Christ does give grace to people who don't know about Him. Whether they consciously understand anything about Christ, they can receive grace. Old testament miracles prove this fact.

So converts are converyted on their own power! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that’s a big mistake

Because God saves whom He will. He is sovereign, not us.

​​@@HAL9000-su1mzI can definitely tell you are protestant 😂😂 and specifically a baptist or calvinist who believes once saved always saved

It sounds like people trying to sound intellectual and cool, using catchphrases.

@@rkitchen1967I think Fr Vince is a holy man he’s just been chained up by his bishop
