The Magisterial Authority: Vatican I & II, and the Authority of the Church ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

Fr. Chad Ripperger's lecture on "The Magisterial Authority and Related Virtues" The link to his book https://sensustraditionispress.org/2014/11/03/new-magisterial-authority/ How do Catholics navigate Church teaching today—especially when opinions multiply online? In this in-depth conference, we unpack the Magisterium, papal infallibility, Vatican I & II, and how to give religious assent to non-infallible teaching—always measuring everything by Scripture and Tradition (the “remote rule”). We also tackle tough historical cases (Honorius I, John XXII), what canonizations guarantee (and what they don’t), why not everything in council documents is infallible, and how to avoid errors when popes or bishops speak at lower levels of authority. In the extended Q&A, we discuss devotional life (especially Our Lady), fasting/discipline, exorcism, demons/possession, ghosts/purgatory, suicide and hope, and what “pastoral” should mean in continuity with the Faith—not in contradiction to divine and natural law. What you’ll learn The exact conditions of papal infallibility (Vatican I) and what counts as “definitive.” How ordinary vs extraordinary Magisterium works—and what requires what kind of assent. Why some Vatican II content is not newly infallible (yet still often binding), and how to read it with a hermeneutic of continuity. What canonizations teach (moral certainty of heaven) vs. personal holiness claims. Practical rules for Catholics when teachings appear to conflict. Clarifications on exorcism, possession, ghosts vs. demons, and praying for the dead. Why fasting and discipline matter for virtue, families, and parish life.
