Quote:When you're voting for a lesser evil, you're not voting for the person's evil or for the evil that the thing is doing. What you're voting to is to preserve the good that would be lost if the other opponent got in who's more evil, or if the legislation got passed and which was actually even worse or what have you. So the point is you're voting to preserve the good and in that sense it's a morally good act. And also if you don't do that then you may be responsible. If this, if a more evil person gets in because of a failure on your part to vote or the citizenry is to vote for the lesser two evils, then it's the sin of negligence because you've actually let somebody who's um, more evil get into that particular thing. So we have an obligation to vote for the lesser of two evils, um, in order to be able to um, uh, mitigate the evil and the damage that's actually done, and that's our obligation.

Quote:There is so much more that could be said about Fr Ripperger, such as his views on COVID, vaccines, UFOs and vampires, Jordan Peterson, gender roles, Harry Potter, Pilates, rock music, or the health benefits of tobacco (really). Nevertheless, I’ll stop here and ask a question.
 
Why is this clearly disturbed man — one who is obsessed with conspiracy theories and pseudoscience, and who holds heterodox views of the Catholic faith — allowed to remain a priest in good standing, let alone have an international platform to spread his dangerous views?

It's a very  narrow and difficult field to get into.  It requires approval all the way up the chain of the Catholic church.  And there are very very very hard standards to get through.

And for most exorcist priests, they are not allowed to tell anyone that they are.  The Catholic church knows who they are .. the bishop and other priests in the diocese .. but not the lay people except those who have to be utilizing his services.  It's for the priest ... if he gets famous there is a danger of him getting a big head and that would effect his ability to do exorcisms.
