Biography
Ripperger was born in Casper, Wyoming. He has two bachelor's degrees, in theology and philosophy, from the University of San Francisco and two master's degrees: one in philosophy from the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, and another in theology from the Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut. He joined the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) and was sent to Rome, where he received his doctorate in philosophy at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross.[1] Father Ripperger also has studied Thomistic psychology.
After being ordained a priest in 1997,[2] he spent a year in a parish in Omaha, Nebraska, where he worked at the St. Gregory the Great Seminary in Seward, Nebraska, a diocesan seminary for the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska. After spending four years working at the seminary, he was assigned to the Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, Nebraska, the main seminary for the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter in the United States, where he taught Dogmatic and Moral Theology and Philosophy[2] for six years. He was also a pastor in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for three years.[1]
Ripperger served as an exorcist for the Diocese of Tulsa in Oklahoma from 2012 until 2016, and has since served as an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Denver.[3]
