Former American exorcist retires from public view
The American Catholic priest Chad Ripperger has stopped making public appearances for a year at the request of the Archbishop of Denver, in order to dedicate his time to a contemplative religious order he is affiliated with. This decision came amid widespread controversy over his activities involving exorcisms, which had garnered millions of views on social media. The decision followed a meeting between him and the archbishop, and aims to allow him to focus on spiritual service and steer clear of the media. This move comes in the context of the declining popularity of other priests, such as Monsignor Russeti, who was replaced after posting clips that some considered controversial—clips in which he expressed beliefs about the existence of a devil behind strange phenomena. The church has issued official guidance on how to handle cases of satanic influence, emphasizing respectful treatment of the faithful and caution to avoid magical practices.
