(LifeSiteNews) — After the story emerged of Charlie and Erika Kirk allegedly asking a priest friend to pray over Charlie when they learned that witches had been paid to curse him, LifeSiteNews reached out to a renowned exorcist, Father Chad Ripperger, to shed light on the role that the witches’ curses may have played in Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Witches were hired by the radical feminist media site, Jezebel, via the website Etsy to hex Kirk in late August. Jezebel then published its now-deleted story about its hiring of the witches on Monday, September 8, and Charlie Kirk was killed by a sniper’s bullet just two days later.
Fr. Chad Ripperger: Paying for curses to be done by witches has been around for more than a decade in modern American life online but it has been around for centuries elsewhere. There are essentially 3 levels of witches.
The first is the low level witches; these are people who engage in witchcraft in a dabbling manner or without any proficiency. They sometimes make it known that they are witches and sometimes they don’t.
The second are mid-level witches who have some proficiency and know certain rituals and curses and engage in them, sometimes for money, but often for personal gain or to hurt others. These also will sometimes make themselves known as you see with advertising on Etsy and other places.
These first two levels generally do not have a lot of success in bringing about the effects of their rituals, since (a) it is up to God to determine if He will permit the effect and (b) their level of proficiency is such that it is not very high so it tends to be less effective.
The third level are those who are highly proficient, very knowledgeable about the history of rituals, incantations and other forms of witchcraft, sometimes coming through generational lines stemming all the way back the 16th century and their knowledge in this area is, at times, almost at the same level as a seasoned exorcist.
These witches know that if one does a curse, one can become subject to the curse that she casts, as so these level of people tend not to get involved in doing cursing for hire.
They tend to use their witchcraft to manipulate various events, people or circumstances as a form of empowerment or personal gain, as a general rule. They are such that they know that the types of things they do in their rituals can land them in jail or suffer publicly and personally.
As a result, they tend to be truly “occult”, that is, hidden, and one would often not even know they are a witch, as they tend to people in respectable positions in society, their community or neighborhood.
Is it valid to draw a direct connection between the curses placed on Charlie and his murder?
Everything they do is subject to the permissive will of God, so the efficacy of their rituals tends to vary based upon God’s permission but also God’s protection of the individual based upon His Will for the person, the good of souls as well as prayers of protection said by the person or others.
Also, there is the reality that people can choose to do evil on their own with little to no involvement of the demonic, even something as horrific as killing someone.
Demons can, if empowered by others and God permitting it, influence individuals to make decisions by moving the person emotionally and afflicting the person with temptations and affecting the person’s perspective on reality where the person makes the judgment and decision to do something very evil.
So it is possible that someone who curses an individual could empower the demons to then execute a plan or process of afflicting someone to do something evil against the person cursed, let alone afflict directly the person cursed.
However, due to the fact that there is a lack of proficiency with most of these rituals and given that God often blocks it for the good of the one who would be cursed, either out of His pure will or out of an answer to a prayer of protection, it simply is not possible to have certitude that the curse was the cause of specific events.
Even when demons talk in solemn exorcism about curses that have been levied, one must be very cautious to give it any credence since they are prone to trying to get the exorcist to waste time on something that is not real or to make themselves look more powerful than they are.
So while the demons could very well have been empowered to move Charlie Kirk’s killer or manipulate circumstances to make it easier or possible for him to do the evil of his own choice, nevertheless, we can never have certitude of the degree or actuality of demonic influence in the situation, despite how evil it was.
Only at the final judgment, will we have certitude of these kinds of matters, but one should take steps to protect oneself regardless.
What is the lesson we should learn from this?
There are two primary lessons to be measured about how much influence demons can have; they may or may not have influence; the position that says they have no influence is naive and the one that says it is certainly caused by the demons is credulous.
The second lesson is to make sure one is in the state of grace (one’s primary means of protection against curses), living a full Catholic sacramental life, praying regularly and also consecrating one’s protection to Our Lady and asking Christ to keep you, if you are person of import, protected from any curses.
Or, he was a faggot and that opened the demonic realm.
This whole sentence makes Zero sense.
“Everything they do is subject to the permissive will of God, so the efficacy of their rituals tends to vary based upon God’s permission but also God’s protection of the individual based upon His Will for the person, the good of souls as well as prayers of protection said by the person or others.”
If everything they do is subject to the permissive will of God....then every other qualifier they listed afterwards that also impacts the efficacy of their “magic”....would not have any relevance at all.
So 1....either God permits it...so it happens...which sound strange to me that God would allow witches to call on Dark Forces to do their bidding....
or 2....God does not give “Permission”...and it is a effect of the Witches free will to do Evil...and THEN
“Dod’s protection of the individual based upon His Will for the person, the good of souls as well as prayers of protection said by the person or others”...kicks in as a Defense against the Witch’s actions.
I don’t see who 1 (God’s permission) and 2 (Everything Else) can live in the same reality.
His boyfriend was definitely possessed.
Absolutely NOTHING significant is allowed to occur other than being permitted by God.
We do NOT have His wisdom, intelligence, insight or power to comprehend His actions.
Period.
I’ve listened to many of Fr. Chad Ripperger’s sermons and lectures over the years. While he is very correct on this specific issue, he is often full of hot air. He is too full of himself to have room for God to be in him.
I have communicated and met with several Catholic Priests who are exorcists. It’s easy to know if they are real by the warmth of the fire in their chest. It is the Holy Spirit in their heart. It is unmistakable.
This is why Fr. Chad Ripperger talks about requiring many sessions to do an exorcism. I can tell you from my own experience that if you do not do it in one session, a demonic spirit will do everything it can to block their host from coming near you ever again.
Just as there are many levels in the angelic realm, there are many levels in the demonic realm. Very few of the spirits are actually demonic. These spirits never had a physical body of their own.
The majority of dark spirits are what Jesus referred to as “unclean spirits.” They had a physical body at one time and were recruited by the demonic spirits to do their work.
Unclean spirits can be redeemed as they still have a spark of God’s Light at the core of their soul, while demonic spirits can only be cast out.
There are more demonic and unclean spirits on earth right now than ever, and they are also more active.
Evil is “live” spelled backward and this is very representative of them as they are “anti-life.” Thus evil is pro abortion, pro drug use, pro pharmacy (especially antipsychotics), pro alcohol, pro suicide, and pro anything that shackles a soul.
The greatest power of evil spirits is their stealth. They don’t want anyone to believe in their reality as this allows them greater influence. Very few people are aware of the origin of their thoughts.
Many times I have had these spirits take over a person’s body and attack me. Usually they can get to within a few feet of me and it’s as though they hit a brick wall as they cannot enter the radiance of the Holy Spirit flowing through me. They are afraid the Light will kill them. They will scream, growl, hiss, and bark while swinging their arms wildly as though they are going to strike or claw me.
If you feel a person is carrying a dark spirit, the greatest weapon against them is loving prayer. The power is not in the words, but is in the Light that arrives as a result of the prayers.
Love and Light go together. If you have no Love, you have no Light. If you allow anger into your heart, you are lowering yourself and becoming weak.
Your true strength can only come through your individual weakness.
Just as the prayers of the Pharisees are just words that fall on deaf ears, prayers that come from the intellect rather than the heart are weak and empty.
🙏🙏🙏
When someone curses you, they are attaching themselves to your soul to control and influence you. These attachments are very real and physical.
There is a spiritual truth that says if you try to control someone, the control goes both ways. Thus, I have used the curse attachment to reverse flow the connection to the great detriment of the person that creates the curse.
Although never my intention, it has landed people in the hospital with severe injuries when I have reversed the flow of a curse attachment. I never seek to do harm, even to evil as Love is their greatest enemy.
There are many levels of understanding and truth.
What you are saying is absolutely true at a higher level of understanding as God is in total control of everything, including evil.
From a higher perspective you can understand how God is using evil to strengthen the Light in our growing souls. Without the resistance of evil, we would be very weak and undisciplined.
About thirty years ago I was doing an exorcism and satan himself appeared. It was a very warm summer evening and suddenly the room got freezing cold.
I’ve never experienced such chill to my bones, even when I flew into Chicago and had to walk a distance outside in a blizzard without winter clothes.
I turned to prayer immediately and Archangel Michael appeared as a bright swirling liquid Light. I said “Michael, you can get him.”
Michael replied, “It’s not time yet.”
That’s when I realized that God is in TOTAL CONTROL, and things are unfolding according to His Divine Plan on His Timetable.
That evening my war on evil ended and I began focusing on just being One with God’s Will.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for posting.
I have frequently encountered a gender identity shift in a person caused by an attached spirit of the opposite gender.
One problem I have often encountered is that the person went into deep depression after removing the spirit attachment as they had no individual identity of their own. Their individual identity was based upon the identity of the attached spirit.
Incredible insight and experiences, tired. If you haven’t already, you should write a book.
The Book of Job.
God allows evil according to his sovereign will for his glory.
“ I’ve listened to many of Fr. Chad Ripperger’s sermons and lectures”
Is that your entire theological background?
Full of himself?
I doubt you have listened to his talks
He always talks about Jesus and the Blessed Mother, referring to them as the the power behind exorcism
Besides being an ordained priest in good standing in the Catholic Church, as well as a Church approved and credentialed exorcist here are father Rippergers educational credentials
University of San Francisco (BA)
University of St. Thomas (MA)
Holy Apostles College and Seminary
Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (PhD)
I watch exorcist Fr. Reehil & he as shared that demons are not permitted to blaspheme the Trinity. I think of how how many times I’ve used the Lord’s name in vain. Working on it.
If God is not in him, why spend time listening to his sermons?
God is indeed in control. Consider that Charlie Kirk’s assassination has triggered a considerable revival of faith especially among younger people and has exposed more fully the evil of the left. Sad that a man of deep faith was taken by an evil person leaving a grieving widow and children without their father, but God had a purpose. Charlie Kirk served God’s glory even in death.
The demons that had Charlie Kirk killed work at TPUSA.
LOL...Not by a long shot.
