Chad Alec Ripperger (born October 11, 1964) is an American Catholic theologian, philosopher, exorcist and priest.

Biography

Chad 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 and was sent to Rome, where he received his doctorate in philosophy at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross.

After being ordained a priest in 1997, 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 for six years. He was also a pastor in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for three years.

Chad Ripperger served as an exorcist for the Diocese of Tulsa in Oklahoma. He founded the Dolorans, also known as the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother, a group of exorcist priests. The Dolorans apply the old rite during the exorcisms. They were active in Tulsa for five years, until September 2016. After David Konderla took the See of Tulsa, the Dolorans were asked to leave the diocese since their observation of the traditional Latin mass did not fit the new bishop's vision of the diocese. They are now active in Denver.
