The best interview so far! Thank you, Fr. Ripperger, and thanks for hosting him, Ryan.
Excellent interview. People who use reason and logic are called extremists today
Good interview.

this was a great interview. However, why does Father say that if the lay faithful are morally bad, that their priest will be bad also? I thought that it was commonly held (and I think The Cure of Ars says this) that the causality ran in the opposite direction: if the priests are bad, the people will consequently be even worse? In other words, it seems the greater fault would rest with priests rather than laymen.
Because the effects of grace and vice travel both ways. St. John Eudes says as much about how sinful people deserve bad clergy.
