Staying Catholic in Crazy Times! – Conference with Father Chad Ripperger and Kyle Clement

We live in a time of deep crisis of faith. Truth is relativized, morality is negotiable, and many believers experience confusion, division, and a growing vacuum of meaning. The "dictatorship of relativism" described by Pope Benedict XVI shapes public life as well as personal decisions — and presents every Catholic with the question: How do I remain faithful when everything is shaken?
This conference provides clear answers. Two prominent voices from the Catholic world — Father Chad Ripperger, known for his teaching on spiritual warfare and the formation of conscience, and Kyle Clement, lay apostle and sought-after speaker — will lead this day filled with spiritual clarity, theological depth, and practical orientation.
Father Chad Ripperger is a Catholic priest, a doctor of philosophy and theology, an exorcist, and one of the most influential teachers on questions of spiritual warfare, the structure of authority in family and church, and the Catholic view of the human person. Kyle Clement is a Catholic apologist and speaker with decades of experience in faith formation and the formation of conscience, known for his clear, pastorally-driven approach to the challenges of our time.
Key themes: Crisis of faith and vacuum of meaning, truth and morality in the dictatorship of relativism, the Catholic view of the human person, formation of conscience, spiritual warfare and inner struggle, structure of authority in family, church, and society, sacraments and faith practice, dealing with division and confusion.
Who is the conference for? For Catholics seeking clarity in today's confusion — parents, young adults, priests, religious, and all those who wish not only to preserve their faith but to deepen it and live it effectively in everyday life. Participants will leave with a spiritual assessment of their position, concrete tools for the inner struggle, a renewed understanding of the sacraments as the supporting center of life, and the certainty: Staying Catholic is possible even in crazy times — and more necessary than ever.
