Exorcist Goes Viral on Social Media, Says ‘Demons Are Not to Be Feared’

[Michie]

‘They’re on a short leash,’ says Father Chad Ripperger. ‘They can only do what Christ permits.’


The popular Catholic speaker and author Chris Stefanick shared an excerpt recently from an interview he conducted with Father Chad Ripperger, a well-known Colorado priest who specializes in exorcism and spiritual warfare. The two discussed an incident in which Father Ripperger came face-to-face with a particularly obstinate demon.

“So I turned to God the Father and said, ‘Punish him in a way he’s never been punished before.’”

Father Ripperger then described a “full-blown preternatural manifestation” that made him conclude that “this is what hell looks like.” Stefanick was quick to point out: “It’s really fallen out of style to talk about such things [as hell].”

Regardless, the short clip — aptly titled “This Exorcist has only been scared TWICE in his career!” — received 282,000 views and 9,300 likes on Facebook within a few weeks of it being shared and hundreds of positive comments such as: “Great line, Chris! ‘Faith and fear don’t coexist.’”
