Episode notes
Touching Is Not Necessarily Priestly
- Touching in prayer can be an expression of compassion but is not automatically a sacerdotal act.
- Fr. Chad Ripperger warns that imposition of hands carries a different, priestly meaning in tradition and liturgy.
Jesus' Touch Reflects Unique Authority
- Jesus could heal from a distance, yet often touched the sick, but his unique identity matters.
- Jesse Romero and Fr. Chad emphasize we are the Body of Christ, not the Head, so direct comparison is limited.
Distinguish Natural Illness From Diabolic Causes
- Not all sicknesses have diabolic causality; many are natural or medicinally rooted.
- Fr. Chad warns indiscriminate imposition of hands can produce diabolic manifestations or transfer spiritual burdens.
