Just found out my 22 year old son has become Fr. Rips newest sidekick in Denver. Been serving his Masses and will be training as MC for him. And this is the "wild son" lol. This is the son who both scares me and charms me. Funny, he always seems to make his way wherever he goes. God has blessed him, and me for that matter. If anyone can settle his butt down, it's Fr. R! He is sacramental, but has a bit of a wild, daring streak in him. Completely independent in every way, but takes risks with his life on crotch rocket...hate that term. Rides with a rough group. So....thanks be to God and his guardian angel!

Sounds like good news. I met and served Mass for Fr Ripperger recently when he was visiting Wisconsin. He certainly seemed like a good, holy priest.
"The Modernists pass the same judgment on the most holy Fathers of the Church as they pass on tradition; decreeing, with amazing effrontery that, while personally most worthy of all veneration, they were entirely ignorant of history and criticism, for which they are only excusable on account of the time in which they lived. Finally, the Modernists try in every way to diminish and weaken the authority of the ecclesiastical magisterium itself by sacrilegiously falsifying its origin, character, and rights, and by freely repeating the calumnies of its adversaries."

-- St Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis

In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

Oh, Carleen :thumbsup: That is so cool! Wonderful news!! I have heard so many wonderful things about Father R. (people that had him
in their parishes). He was loved & respected when he was in Idaho! I bet Laus would have appreciated such an opportunity, he loved him as well.

If you are going to become a sidekick, this is a great sidekick to be! Thanks be to God! I am happy for all involved!

Prayers for your son & his future! :pray3:

My family lives in Denver and I need to see a good and holy traditional exorcist.  :)

Oh wow, I am so very humbled by your reaction to God's blessing on my son and my family. Truly, this amazing turn of events was outside my hopes and dreams for my son, and by connection, my family. Again, I, as parent, can not, by any means, be credited  with making this happen. Neither hubby or I, could possibly create conditions that would make this be so. Not smart enough, clever enough or holy enough to earn this wonderful grace.

I am so impressed by the Catholic ability to enjoy the blessings of someone not connected to yourself. I do understand that the true joy is in the honor of God, and certainly not any one creature.

That is really something!  I'll bet Fr. R. will keep your son well in hand, Carleen. What a blessing.
[Matthew 8:26]  And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

[Job  38:1-5]  Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said: [2] Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words? [3] Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me. [4] Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding. [5] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Jesus, Mary, I love Thee! Save souls!

That is awesome, Carleen!  And, so very hopeful for a Mom like me, who is just dipping her toes into the waters of adolescence with her children, and so.very.terrified!  Especially because I also have a son who "both scares and charms me", because of his tendency to live on the wild side  :pray3:

And the entire homosexual culture that includes virtually every man, woman and child in the state.It's a mistake to think that it's just one person. That person reflects the entire state, all of it.

Colorado is famous primarily for the legalisation of marijuana. That means that they support every kind of depravity.

Polis is not only a homosexual, but a militant one. He ran on the democrat ballot but is in truth an actual Socialist. Moreover, the new AG is an east coast liberal Jew who brings with him all the hell that is the northeastern US.

And, the house and senate went Dem.

Moreover, El Paso county, where Heinrich and I are, is Republican in the sense of wishy washy conservatism. The residents of this county will NOT bite the hand that feeds them (fed gov) when push comes to shove.

While the rest of the state is "conservative", it doesn't matter. Denver and Boulder run this state. And they're doing their best to make it a carbon copy of California.

It's a beautiful state. But it's like a beautiful woman with HIV.

I guarantee one of the first things for 2019 will be last year's defeated "red flag" law. After that, a state level AWB. Then, TABOR will go away. Then, a pale horse (politically speaking).
