I originally titled this post, back in 2022 I believe (I am updating this in 2023), “I Demand Justice for Father James Jackson!” and it actually still fits the punishment of the crime, ironically enough, and you will see why by the end of this post. I will only add from the very beginning, that I do not care one bit about what people think of me, for what I am about to say in this blog post. All that matters to me is how Our Lady and the Trinity see me. Nothing more, nothing less. The members in the Catholic Church have grown truly effeminate and it’s disordered and not of the Divine. If you shun me, meh, I’ll live. If you keep reading, great! I only feel alone when I am isolated from the Truth (Our Lord, Who, is Truth).
Perhaps, now, I will be seen as a traitor for seemingly turning my back on Father Jackson or what have you; while on the contrary, it’s BECAUSE I care about Father Jackson so much, despite his monstrous crimes, and the state of his soul, that I am clarifying my point in this post and want to dedicate my prayers, now, to his conversion and true repentance before he meets the Just Judge. These are the ways I am actually NOT turning my back on Jackson, but ardently praying for his salvation. That is what detachment looks like for we Catholics. Praying for the person either way. I do not want him spending his eternity in hell fire, but God willing enjoying the beatific vision. However, I am posting this primarily because who I care about MOST are Father’s victims: female infants and toddlers. Let me cry from the rooftops:
MY HEART AND PRAYERS ARE FIRST AND FOREMOST WITH THEM. THOSE PRECIOUS INNOCENT BABY GIRLS.
It is so important that we differentiate, in this case, how this is not merely some “playboy” grown adult pornography as Church Militant pointed out. NO, this is THE TRAFFICKING OF FEMALE INFANTS AND TODDLERS for the most sick and twisted form of pornography out there. I have to stress from the get-go, that while I will never cease in praying for Father Jackson’s repentance before death, my main prayers and deepest sympathy are with the TRUE victims, because they are human beings being spiritually murdered and I cannot even begin to express the sorrow I feel for them. I was utterly sickened when I heard a defender of Jackson’s say that talking about the victims is “kind of silly”, because they are “nameless”. Uh, Deo Gratias (how Carmelites say, “what”)?
Did you catch that? I know. It is atrocious. So… because we do not know the victim’s names, it does not matter? So… does that therefore mean we should stop caring about babies slaughtered in the womb, because they are “nameless”, as well? Bear with me, but what a DUMB argument. It’s a repeated trend that victims are often the ones not believed, not spoken for, or worse, ignored and devalued. Why do you think we celebrate the glorious feast of the Holy INNOCENTS, who, are also nameless to men, but known to God? This is simply not an issue you will see me hold my tongue on, by remaining in the shadows by keeping an unholy type of silence. No, ma’am. This goes back to the weakness of effeminacy. Ooooh, and if I feel this way, I can only imagine the wrath of almighty God, WHO, is a VERY, very good Father.
It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.
Luke 17:2
And in terms of caring what people think, I abandoned how people view me long, long ago, when I chose to see the truth about Pope Benedict’s “partial resignation” of the papacy as invalid, and decided to speak up about it, well aware that I would lose friends. And did I ever. But I also gained some pretty dern zealous and holy friends, who far outshined the old ones, and I would not trade a thing for them. Our Lady merely removed garbage from my hands and filled them with gems. Do we really want to invest in friends who are half truthers (is that a word? It is now), anyways? “Friends” who call it “quits” the moment you say something they don’t agree with? That’s not much of a friendship. Many Catholics, to a fault, simply follow the herd without using their own mind, and it really struck me when I heard about one parishioner from Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Littleton, who spoke to Church Militant, confirmed the parish facilitated unquestioning loyalty to Jackson and said this:
“There are many, many good people there who are just wonderful, and the liturgy is beautiful. However, the culture and groupthink has been overwhelming.”
Avoiding the truth by choosing to groupthink, is not holiness. My only standard for real holiness, today, are three simple things: Courage to see the truth for what it is in any given situation and to in turn NOT COMPROMISE that truth in any way, shape, or form. And lastly, to perform those two with CHARITY. The fruit of real holiness is always going to be charity, and there is foundation for this claim, because the FIRST fruit of the Holy Ghost is charity, while the first gift is wisdom.
All that matters to me is truth. Pilate even asked, “what is truth?”. Only one Individual in our world’s history has been able to say, “I AM Truth”; with that being said, when we see the truth and embrace it, we are automatically on the side of Our Lord. So, without further ado, I am only on the side of Truth, capital “T”, and I realize how important it is, now, that despite how much I love Father Jackson, and I still do, because charity must persist, I really should have kept an open mind with wherever the facts would have led: either to guilt or innocence. And in our case, all has pointed to the former. Do I like that? OF COURSE, NOT; IT’S WRETCHED! Am I surprised? More than I can express. I can honestly say from the start, I believed in his innocence, because I wanted him to be innocent.
Let’s face it, when we love someone, we automatically pledge our loyalty to them, but this is also where the good old-fashioned phrase, “love is blind” really does exist. Let us consider the classic abusive relationship: everyone on the outside can see that the person is being abused, taken advantage of, and even isolated by the abuser, but the victim will swear up and down the fault either lies with themself or WE are the crazy ones for pointing out the obvious. I notice, now, that this is what is happening with all the faithful Catholics who LOVE Father Jackson, fail to see the evidence that unbiased reporters, who are also faithful Catholics, have presented, and in turn allow themselves to be ISOLATED from seeing the facts. They choose to only accept the narrative that shows Father Jackson is innocent.
My goodness gracious me, this is so dangerous, and I allowed myself to do this with Father Jackson’s case, as well, all the way up until June 9th, 2023. Even when he was arrested a second time, I refused to look at the evidence and insisted he was innocent, nonetheless. This situation screams ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP and LOVE IS BLIND. You know how the victim in abusive relationships get really, ultra defensive, when you tell them the truth about their situation? Exhibit A has been shown ALL ACROSS THE BOARD from Father Jackson’s supporters (myself included at the time) of “how dare you say such and such a thing” or “you have a black heart” as Church Militant Reporter Christine was told, or “YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE”… shows the evidence, “I DON’T WANT TO SEE THAT”. Guys, this is twisted. It’s diabolical. Do you call that true charity? Was that really the “fruit” from Father Jackson’s “innocence”? Rather, this is the fruit of disordered attachment and guilt.
Before I really dive into my main points, here, I want to first say how my eyes were opened with Father Jackson’s case. Again, I attended Father Jackson’s parish and NEVER had anything but positive experiences; so much so that I wrote a blog post on Father months before his first arrest titled, Tribute to Father James Jackson, that I still have posted:
I also received a handwritten letter from him a few months before the arrest; it was the last letter I had received, from Father, before moving from my last place of residence, and at the time I thought it was symbolic that the last piece of mail I received there, was from him. Thinking about it is painful, because all I saw was goodness in Father Jackson, and it’s what I try to remember about him. Despite everything you will see in this current post, which is truly disgusting, despicable and DEATH PENALTY MATERIAL, I still hold a supernatural place of love in my heart for Father Jackson, as we all should as faithful Catholics.
Did I say death penalty? Yes, that is how bad it is, and may we NEVER fail to remember that the death penalty is 100% biblical and it’s a mercy (yes, you read that right, too). The one story I like to point to is Old Testament Susanna. It was none other than the priests who were automatically believed, because they were just that, PRIESTS, but when Daniel exposed their treachery and condemned the people for shunning a daughter of Israel “without proper discernment” of the evidence (sound familiar? it should), those lustful “ancients of the people” were put to death. They lied and were fornicators. Notice that those who commit sins of the flesh are notorious liars. I will come back to that!
What opened my eyes, or rather WHO opened my eyes, was blogger Ann Barnhardt. I want you to read her entire post in the link below, as well as tune into the episode 180 of the Barnhardt podcast, she attaches where she talked about his second arrest (start listening at the 57-minute mark). Barnhardt was a parishioner in Jackson’s parish in Littleton, Colorado from 2008-2013. But the main part I want to paste on here are these words she starts the post with:
“He’s guilty. He has pled guilty to receiving CP in exchange for having the more serious distribution of CP charge dropped. But he was almost certainly distributing as well. Anyone who persists in “he was set up” or even worse that he’s some sort of living saint martyr is delusional and suffering psychological problems themselves due to the scandal, I suppose. Such people should be gently but very firmly corrected and disabused of their fantasies, if possible. Clinging to obvious untruths is not virtuous. It’s pathetic and very spiritually dangerous.”
All of this leads to the main points I want to discuss, today. I know, this is already a lengthy post, but this is a weighty subject that requires due diligence, and I hope you read all of it.
#1: Red Flags for any faithful Catholic: Either Jackson is guilty of bearing false witness by breaking the 8th commandment when he is really innocent to receive a lesser sentence, or he is guilty of breaking the 6th commandment with his monstrous actions toward innocent FEMALE infants and toddlers.
So, I know many people will say that pleading guilty does not make one guilty, but we faithful Catholics take ALL of the commandments seriously:
For whoever keeps the whole Law, but offends in one point, has become guilty in all. For he who said, “you shall not commit adultery” said also, “you shall not kill.” Now if you shall not commit adultery, yet will commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the Law. So speak and so act as men about to be judged by the Law of liberty. ~James 2:10-13~
So, let’s just pretend that Jackson is innocent and did not break the 6th commandment but broke the 8th, according to Saint James, he has become “a transgressor of the Law.” Or, we have the real answer: Jackson not only broke the 6th commandment, but he broke the 8th as well, and we have our verdict, nonetheless. If Jackson was truly innocent, he would not transgress the Law at ALL, for holy fear of God. Remember when I said that those who fornicate are notorious liars? Fornicators are narcissists, selfish and will do anything to save their own skin.
The sin of fornication is in itself, entirely selfish. The true saints of the beloved Catholic Church stick to the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even if it means being in jail for the longest possible sentence, though innocent to stand on the side of truth. Father’s plea deal is entirely selfish, and do not for a moment doubt this. I completely marveled how someone pointed out how many plead guilty when innocent but NOT FOR CHILD MOLESTATION. And Our Carmelite Holy Mother Teresa of Jesus (Avila) said that one should only defend their name if it leads others to be scandalized or lose their faith by WHAT they have been accused of, as in our case with a priest being a pedophile. If Father Jackson was really and truly innocent, he would have:
1.) Announced his innocence publicly. He has never done this. This form of announcement is not the same as pleading “not guilty”. And he has allowed thousands of dollars to be raised for him, which when guilty all along, only adds to his deception, arts and crimes. Please listen to the Barnhardt Podcast Episode 180, starting around the 57 minute mark, when she talks about Father Jackson having had yet ANOTHER computer and hard drive at his sister’s house, found in his second arrest, with more CP items. One Cyber Cop told Church Militant’s Reporter Christine that it’s actually really easy to hack someone ‘s computers with videos and images, but it’s near impossible for hackers to click the upload button and distribute the CP, which is what Father Jackson was doing and why he is pleading guilty to have the distributing charge dropped.
Please, please do not bury your head in the sand anymore by continuing to say there is no evidence and this is all a set-up. On the contrary, there is mountains of evidence surrounding this case, and you need only look to see it. I am sure the Feds have/are setting many innocent people up, but it is clear, Father Jackson is not one of them. Why would Father obtain another computer and hard drive as it is, after his first arrest, if innocent? That alone screams red flags. I would never want to touch another computer ever again after being accused falsely, and was innocent of said crime. This only confirms guilt, and he was overly confident that he would not be caught. Narcissistic sex perverts are not as smart as they think they are. Do I believe all sex perverts are narcissists? I sure do.
One of the truly devastating factors Ann brought up was how the Feds could very well be investigating that Father Jackson HIMSELF might be in some of these videos, and if this is the case, this goes far beyond simply clicking the upload button, but being involved in the Dark Web and the trafficking aspect itself. If this is confirmed, I hope Jackson supporters don’t say, “that’s an imposter Father Jackson” in the video; that would be ludicrous and Church Militant brought that point up, when they tried to make the comparison to what they believe to be a “conspiracy theory” of “the imposter Sister Lucia”. Sorry, Church Militant, but it does not take a genius to see that the Sister Lucia after 1960 is not the same person (https://www.lifesitenews.com/episodes/new-forensic-files-expose-fake-sr-lucy-of-fatima/).
This is where I go back to examining evidence in ALL situations, and accepting whatever that truth may be, such as with the forensic evidence proving a REAL imposter, Lucia. I urge Church Militant to study that above link with an open mind, like I am doing with Father Jackson’s evidence. But in our case, there really is no fake Father Jackson. I do not agree fully with Church Militant‘s views on things, but I believe they have done a great job unbiasedly reporting on Father Jackson’s case and presenting the true facts no matter where the evidence leads and no matter who persecutes them. That is true journalism, and I respect that.

Sidenote: Barnhardt also discusses in her post how it is the true tech savvy individuals and masters involved on the Dark Web who parade around telling people they can hardly turn on a cell phone.
2.) One of the men backing Jackson financially has also broken the 8th commandment by lying publicly, and later had to recant his lie in order to not get sued by Church Militant (see video below). His name is Mike Parrott, and I used to watch his videos assuming he must be good and holy, because of all things, his channel is called “restoring the faith” (claims to be a Latin Mass Catholic who believed Benedict never validly resigned the papacy) and he even had one of my heroes on his show, Father Paul Kramer, who worked alongside the late Father Nicholas Gruner. Barnhardt made such a good point when she said that we have to do a little bit of research on EVERYBODY, because looks can certainly be deceiving.
A source I will keep hidden, before I realized Jackson was guilty, told me I need to stay away from Parrott’s stuff because he raised all that money for Jackson and was not honest about what he did with it. Guys, when basic ten commandments of “not lying” are not being followed by Jackson and those associated with Jackson, that is an automatic red flag, and if they can’t follow the simple and small laws, why would we then believe they are great at keeping the big ones (murder or fornication)? I compare fornication to murder because sexual sins kill the soul, and Father Jackson’s involvement of young female infants and toddlers being raped is MURDER OF THEIR SOULS!
So, when one has no issue bearing false witness, we can be assured purity is not being kept either. Sins of the flesh and bearing false witness go hand in hand (we saw this with Susanna in the Old Testament), and I believe it when Our Lady of Fatima said more souls go to hell for sexual sins than for any other reason. Blasphemy is one thing, but sins of the flesh really are the most perverted and corrupt of them all, because it is the core and center nature of the Beast. I would go so far to say that sexual sins IS blasphemy, because it’s a mockery of God’s purity. What could be worse? Remember the heroic words of Susanna:
“Susanna sighed, and said: I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands. [23] But it is better for me to fall into your hands without doing it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.” [24]
3.) This part Barnhardt, below, touched on was extremely interesting to me, because Father Hearty was leaving the FSSP during the very time I was a parishioner at OLMC, and I met him only one time, but it was a very vivid meeting; I wondered WHY he was leaving the FSSP:
I’d still REALLY like to hear from Jackson’s long-time parochial vicar and housemate, Joseph Hearty, who went from offering Masses across from PlannedParenthood, to leaving the FSSP and offering the Novus Ordo, to now being voluntarily laicized. But, Hearty may be completely unable to speak due to the Seal. If so, the Seal must ALWAYS be respected, and Hearty needs our prayers. I cannot imagine being put in that position, or the kind of evil that would leverage the Seal like that. But, it happens all the time in Rome as policy. When sodomites, both clerics and laymen, are put into close contact with a pious priest, they immediately confess to him, without any real intention of amending and reforming their wretched lives, and thus silence him forever. When names of certain people in Rome come up, some good priests who have spent time in Rome will change the subject FAST. One doesn’t have to be a rocket surgeon to know what’s going on. And remember, it’s mortal sin of the highest order for a priest to break the Seal in ANY WAY. Good priests are filled with holy fear of ever doing so.
#2: But Father Jackson is holy. He is the last person I would have ever suspected. He wrote a beautiful book on the Latin Mass!
1. ) He’s the last person I would have ever expected! I have learned from experience that none of these reasons can or should be used as evidence. Do you really think a real sex pervert is going to be open about it? Quite frankly it usually is, as history shows, the last person we would expect who commits the most heinous crimes. In our case, Jackson was extremely clever. Because by appearing holy outwardly, he was able to carry out evil inwardly. Remember, we cannot really call anyone holy until Holy Mother Church canonizes them AFTER they are dead.
2.) Disordered attachments with even traditional priests and specific groups. We must ONLY be attached to Our Lord’s sacraments, NOT the priests or groups administering them (SSPX, FSSP, ICK or Independent). When we develop a disordered attachment to even priests or specific societies, when they commit a fault, we are scandalized, turn our back on Our Lord, because we put our faith in them WITHOUT God rather than through them FOR God. I knew an elderly lady at OLMC when I was a parishioner of Father Jackson’s and I remember her telling me that she went out of her way to only attend Father Jackson’s Masses and attended nearly ALL of his classes, because she really and sincerely loved this priest. She did this to the point of avoiding Masses NOT celebrated by him. This is what I mean about “disorder”.
Are you attending Mass for Our Lord or Father Jackson? So, what happened when Father Jackson moved to Rhode Island, you move there to attend ONLY his Masses, too? Or worse, after Father was caught with CP, are you scandalized to the point of never returning to Mass, again? This is where we must always remember that Our Lord and His Church are perfect, but run by the IMPERFECT, and by always having this knowledge before us, we will not be scandalized when a priest is caught in sin. We as Catholics should LOVE all priests, but in an ordered manner, and we are called to pray for them, yes, without a doubt, but we must never believe even Latin Mass priests can do no wrong. There are bad apples in EVERYTHING, and by remembering this we can still have great confidence that the Latin Mass is glorious and untainted, even when the priest celebrating it, is not:
If you can’t tell the difference between James Jackson and God, and you hold God responsible for James Jackson’s sins, then I dare say your relationship with Our Lord is so ridiculously superficial as to be non-existent. One of the most foundational aspects of any relationship is… actually knowing who the person is, and that said person is a discrete entity, recognizable as being themselves and not someone else, MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN SAID PERSON IS GOD. James Jackson is not Jesus. Jesus is not James Jackson. Ergo, why in the WORLD would you conflate the two, or hold the Divine Person responsible for the acts of the human person? It’s almost like holding a child conceived in rape responsible for the rape itself and giving the child the death penalty…. Oh, wait. I believe it was St. Francis de Sales who said, “He who gives scandal commits murder, BUT HE WHO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE SCANDALIZED COMMITS SUICIDE.”
Ann Barnhardt
#3: Shame on FSSP’s handling of this situation and other Trad sites for not reporting on the fullness of the truth with this story! More Group-think and political correctness!
I identify as a Traditional Latin Mass Catholic, reject and do not attend the New Mass (I believe it is Valid- for now- but tainted) believe Benedict was still pope all the way up until his death and I believe with Father Paul Kramer, Doc Edmund Mazza and Ann Barnhardt that the Church is in a state of interregnum, as has happened several times in papal history. But if you were to ask me what Latin Mass “group” I associate myself with (SSPX, FSSP, ICK or Independent), I would say “none of the above”, because favoring one group as “the best” or “the holiest” over another is disordered and cultish. I have seen this same attachment towards a specific group and when what we saw happen with Father Jackson being a part of the FSSP, one woman said she was scandalized because she thought the FSSP were the one group that was untainted in the Church. She said she did not want to return to Mass anymore. I will reiterate once more Barnhardt’s words but substitute Father Jackson with FSSP or a specific group:
If you can’t tell the difference between the FSSP and God, and you hold God responsible for the FSSP’s sins, then I dare say your relationship with Our Lord is so ridiculously superficial as to be non-existent.
The FSSP not even mentioning the victims is utterly astounding. The SSPX were said to have put out a similar statement when they were exposed with their sex crimes, of only stating that sins against chastity in the priesthood is a terrible thing. While yes… they are… but again, what about the apology to the victims? This is what effeminacy and selfishness looks like in the priesthood, and believe me, there is no untainted “group” in the Church, only the Church herself remains holy, pure and spotless. I am highly disappointed with those who report on news in the Church like LifeSiteNews and even Dr Taylor Marshall SAYING nothing. . .and I am a fan of them, so to hear radio silence, is such a disappointment. AGAIN, WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS? WHO WILL BE THERE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THEM, TO THEM? Who on earth am I, but I will. I am so, so, so, so sorry, you beloved innocents. Your beloved little souls have been murdered and I leave the punishment of your abusers to the justice and mercy of God to avenge you. We do not know your names, but He does. That is enough for me. He knows your pain. Your pain is His pain.
In conclusion:
I once heard a priest say that he believed that the Novus Ordo was only allowed to be kept valid, by the will of Our Lord, for those who are sex trafficked, so He can share in their abuse. I NEVER forgot that. Let us not fail to forget about what happens to Our Lord in the Eucharist at Satanic black masses, as well. The triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary will put an end to all this, and may our prayers hasten this day, because “only She can help you”. The hardest part about the clergy scandals is the innocent get lumped in with the guilty and the guilty with the innocent, and so it’s hard to know who is actually innocent and who is actually guilty, anymore. But with Father Jackson, we have the evidence.
The will follows the evidence, and so to turn your back on the truth is to turn your back on Our Lord, Who, is Truth. We can’t allow ourselves to have Stockholm Syndrome even with Father Jackson. I get it, all I can think of was all the positive experiences I had with him; the holy and uplifting conversations etc., but all of this also shows the mercy of God, that despite Jackson’s own personal sin, Our Lord still gave us graces in the sacraments, through Father. And all of this also does not mean we need married priests, now, because they can’t control their passions and celibacy is “un-natural”. Nope, we have hundreds of years of the testimony of hundreds of saints who conquered their passions and chastity was WHAT made them saints.
None other than Our Lord, Our Lady and Saint Joseph paved the way to begin living heaven on earth, because in heaven “they neither marry nor are given in marriage” and those who choose this path on earth “are like the angels” (Luke 20:33). What made and when did Father Jackson fall? I cannot answer that, but I know this, when a soul faithfully follows ALL the commandments of God, thus keeping them in the state of grace through the sacrament of penance, the grace is there to live chastity according to one’s state in life. And in the case of Father Jackson, if he was truly in the state of grace and taking the commandments seriously, the grace would have been there for him, too. But in his own free will, he did not choose that road, but the road of the “dragon”:
And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
~Apocalypse 12:17~
Ironically enough, maybe my original title of this post was right all along. I DO demand justice to be served to Father Jackson; I want him to have the punishment of the highest degree, that will God willing lead to his fear of God and repentance for his crimes against the innocent victims he spiritually murdered.
Ave Maria et Laudetur Christus Jesus!
