Fr. Chad Ripperger's Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) & Binding Prayer ("In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, and by the power of the Most Holy Catholic Church of Jesus, I render all spirits impotent...")
Deliverance Prayers II The Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers compiled by Fr Chad Ripperger: Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) I bind (myself, or N.) today to a strong virtue, an invocation of the Trinity. I believe in a Threeness, with a confession of an Oneness in the Creator of the Universe.

The notion that only members of the hierarchy are allowed to excercise the faculties of intellect and will given to them by God is a cult-like--not Catholic--conviction.

This goes completely against the essence of Catholicism, not to mention contradicting the witness of countless saints and converts who have studied the Faith, or studied themselves into it.
Where will it end? If the "Synod" declares what we think it might, will podcasters tell us we have no right to an opinion on such matters, either?
It’s a good thing that St. Catherine knew the faith!
Bishop Fulton Sheen said that the LAITY will save the Church.
Catholics have a DUTY to proclaim the truth and call out the hierarchy to DO THEIR JOB and uphold the unchanging Truths of the Faith!
Why is Sammons the pharisee blaming even his bishop?
