FAQ to save some of you time: • Yes, I submitted the Fr. Ripperger article to my husband first. If he would have told me to scrap it I would have done it in a hot second. I’d follow him to the ends of the earth and back. • No, I have no credentials good enough to satisfy you. I’m a nobody in the world. My family usually likes me though. • No, I didn’t contact the Archdiocese of Denver. Have you ever tried to contact a diocese about anything? Good luck. • Am I a narcissistic fem-tard possessed by the devil to take out holy priests? Goodness, I hope not. (“Fem-tard” is a word Tim Gordon made up. Isn’t he clever?) • No, I do not think that Matthew 18 applies in this case, and no, I don’t want to invite Father R to dinner. Not even a little. • Yes, I stand by the word “disobedience” because it is at the root of every distortion in any vocation. It doesn’t usually start with a big NO but by little justifications. Inches. I think this topic merits a separate article. • Yes, I stand by the word “divination.” Most are completely ignoring this point because it’s creepy but it should be elevated. • Yes, I think Fr. R’s collaboration with vulgar dissident Tim Gordon is a direct fruit of disobedience, hugely disturbing and scandalous, and an immediate danger to families. • Yes, I’m aware that they’re talking about me on podcasts and whatnot. Have at it. One of my prayers before publishing was to surrender my reputation… Which I meant at the time but which is much much harder when it hits. I knew what they would say and they are indeed saying it. • Yes, it hurts. • Yes, I’m fine. I can do this because I am safe and loved. Not everyone has that and it motivates me to write on their behalf. • Yes, it’s worth it. I have already heard stories of liberation from gripping fear and discouragement. • Priests, pastors, laity—please know that some people need to be freed from this unholy fixation, and when they are, they will need TLC in the name of Jesus the Healer. Fr. R is leaving people in a bad state and offers no follow up direction for the vulnerable. It’s all you. • Yes, there are a lot of words in my article. People are complaining about that. Reading is hard. I tried to write to the 5th grade level like they tell you in “how to write articles in an age of reels and no attention span” class but I don’t think I did it. I can’t think of anything else. What am I missing?
