Celebrity exorcist priest to take one-year 'media fast' after meeting with Denver archbishop

The Rev. Chad Ripperger, a prominent Catholic exorcist based in the Archdiocese of Denver, is entering a one-year hiatus from public speaking and media interviews. This decision follows a meeting with his archbishop, who urged the priest to step back from his public-facing activities.
