Fr. James Jackson and Mass of the Ages Episode 1

New Statement on Fr. James Jackson and Episode 1

[@w1ster1a2]

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Thank you, good men of MoTA for doing THE right thing.

[@markrobertson6664]

So excited for the re-release of Episode I! I know it will be even better than the first go round! God bless you all over at MOTA

[@asaxr]

Thank you. We understand. We love TLM and know that no one not even priest are perfect. The only perfect creature is Mary. Viva Cristo Rey!

[@SeraphimRose17]

What a complete moronic statement. Really? No one is perfect?? Yeah let’s keep defending a priest who was getting off on infants getting raped. A normal person would be outraged. Stop acting like a cultist.

[@keepers...]

A vile pedophile priest in Traditional garb ... acting holy ... on film! We aren't talking about not being perfect here. We are talking about deception.

[@MattBurrill]

Thank you Cameron, this is a wise decision. I show the Mass of the Ages in my middle school Religion class. My students almost certainly have no idea who Father Jackson is, but I do, and I felt that it was the one black mark on an otherwise excellent production. I appreciate this.

[@keepers...]

Nothing but deception. When those kids find out a pedophile play acted the "holy" priest, I am certain it won't be sanitized and covered up like you all are attempting to do. They will feel deceived.

[@judgmentaltoast]

God bless you. The wrong actions of bad clergy hurt the whole Church. Thank you for being so prudent about all of this. 🙏🏻💔

[@anthonhysalomone2025]

Thank you for the update! United in prayer as you move forward.

[@AnaMT1985]

Glad to hear this and I appreciate that you had the humility to admit the first response was imprudent. God bless.

[@benjaminlehr9310]

This decision shows that your organization has the integrity, humility, and prudence that we need as a traditional Catholic movement. As a result of seeing this video, I decided to make your organization a significant part of my monthly tithe. Thanks for the work that you do.

[@MassoftheAges]

Thank you for your kind words, Benjamin!

Thank you for this. 🙏🏻 God bless you all at MOTA.

[@PadrePeregrino]

I gave you the wrong advice in October 2021 on keeping Fr. Jackson, too. I'm sorry to you and our MOTA viewers. I really believed he was innocent, not because he was a traditional priest, but because I knew him in real life. But he has now pleaded guilty. Again, I apologize.-Fr. David Nix

[@crushtheserpent]

@@rosalindalozano233 There's a river of denial running there sister. No-one, and I mean no-one, admits guilt to crimes of this magnitude unless they are guilty or completely insane. I didn't know Fr. Jackson personally but I haven't come across a single person who has said he was out of his mind. You are defending the indefensible.

[@StartingfromScratch2015]

@@crushtheserpentexactly, you DID NOT know him personally. You did not confess with him. You didn’t do anything. Instead of speaking out of pure ignorance, pray for the REAL truth to come out. Padre Pio, pray for us!

[@vincentlewis5]

The federal government has a 99.6% conviction rate. I don't believe its because they do such a good job at identifying the wrong doers. There is a lot on the accused to plead guilty. He plead guilty to receipt of child pornography not to possession.

[@crushtheserpent]

@@ME-JMJ Christine Niles has done a nearly hour long presentation on this matter on her KZbin channel. She discusses at length why a cybercrime didn't happen. Perhaps y'all should give it a listen.

[@neener13wink]

@@StartingfromScratch2015 @Rosalinda Lozano Pleading guilty if innocent is lying. Any Catholic worth their salt, especially a priest, understands that. The truly innocent and holy ones take the persecution and accept the martyrdom for the greater glory of God. They don’t cave under pressure and admit to this type of depravity. They don’t lie to save themselves from a harsher sentence. They fight for the truth, no matter how long it takes to come out. So, either way, guilty or innocent, he is not the person you believe him to be. I say this, not to diminish your loss and pain, but rather to give you an unbiased and sorrowful perspective. May you find consolation under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother.

[@JulieAOK]

Thank you for your transparency. I think you’re doing the right thing. I am deeply thankful that this tragedy hasn’t crushed your desire to create something beautiful for God and His holy Church. Let us all seriously commit ourselves to praying for priests.

And prayers for Fr. Jackson, too! Let us not forget that he is also God’s child and had obviously done much good, and can do again with repentance (if allegations are true).

Thank you for remaking it. So horrible he took part in the film when he was doing what he was doing.

I am so disappointed in this. The truth is reading between the lines and KNOWING Fr Jackson. Spending time with him. CONFESSING to him! That would have been a GREAT red flag and it wasn’t (he was my confessor for MANY years). I’m not blind to my loyalty. Padre Pio, pray for us!

[@CKGLMarketing-iy5yn]

Priests are human too, their battle is greater than what we are dealing with so they badly needed our prayers and sacrifices. We need not to judge sinners but to pray for them, like what our Blessed Mother said to the 3 seers of Fatima, many souls are going to hell because nobody's praying for their conversion.. May God have mercy on this priest..

[@Kapoian]

You are why people are leaving the Catholic church in droves, because we don't want to bring our kids around people like you that will protect pedophiles. That's how normal people think, by the way - they don't want their children to be sexually abused, because they actually love them.

[@1991ROLEX]

Right and proper. Prayers offered up.

[@kimberlyanderson1916]

It is morally permissible to enter a plea of “guilty” even though one is innocent, in order to receive a lighter sentence. The “Alfred Plea” is an example, where one pleads guilty although innocent, if it is believed that the jury has enough evidence to conclude guilt.

[@neener13wink]

Pleading guilty if innocent is lying. Any Catholic worth their salt, especially a priest, understands that. The truly innocent and holy ones take the persecution and accept the martyrdom for the greater glory of God. They don’t cave under pressure and admit to this type of depravity. They don’t lie to save themselves from a harsher sentence.

[@Thoughtworld1984]

​@@neener13winkI see your point. But it's just the way our legal system is set up. Being in jail is way more than pressure, btw.

[@neener13wink]

@@Thoughtworld1984 Your reply indicates that you don’t actually get my point. Lying is not permissible for us. If it were okay to save oneself by lying, then every martyr should not have given their lives for Christ. There are many who believe that he is being set up. That he is a very holy priest. This implies that he has a very genuine and strong relationship with the Lord. What are we taught about persecutions by Christ? The way is not lying because it is a legal maneuver. The way is to accept the cross, persevere through the persecution, and pray for vindication. To stand for TRUTH. Pleading guilty if innocent, to such depravity, doesn’t do any good for the Kingdom of God. Let your yes be yes. We are called to speak Truth. May God help us all to be able to do this if we are called to. 🙏🏼

How many of these "wayward priests"never had a real calling to the priesthood? How many are among the TENS OF THOUSANDS of Freemasonic infiltrators on their own alternate mission of hurting the Church? Its important not to overlook the fact that the enemy has been within the gates for a time now...🙏🕯

[@Nagitax]

Just because they have exploited their position doesn't mean they are masons. Some people just see it as a lucrative career opportunity, and it appears as if much of the laity lives in denial of this fact thanks to the extreme submission to church authority. It just HAS to be the Mason boogeyman when in reality, it's just career driven sociopaths who relish in their authority and sadistic tendencies to shame and guilt the laity into submission.

[@Nagitax]

It's also important to recognize the rites of ordination were changed after VII, which logically concludes that there are no real priests and no valid sacraments from them. Funny how when the Anglicans changed their ordination rite that the Catholics immediately said they weren't valid, but then put on the blindfold after the Vatican did the same thing as the Anglicans. 🤔 Just saying. I'm fully prepared for the howling that will ensue after these comments.

[@Thoughtworld1984]

Father Jackson spoke extensively against Freemasonry. Probably why he was framed.

[@tonygibson6436]

I found Fr. Jackson's segment in Episode I of Mass of the Ages, where he talks about 'sin', very compelling. His recent admission to having in his possession child pornography doesn't, of itself, preclude the words he spoke- for his words rang very true. I believe that someone who has lived a long life, is familiar with sin in all of its guises- especially one who would've heard countless confessions, who himself would've been struggling with overwhelming temptation in the matter of purity, would perhaps more than anyone else, be able to lay out the bare facts on sin. It is more irony than anything else that this was his allotted topic in episode I. It would be a mistake to excise it from the original release.

Normally I would say to leave the segments in the film and that we are all sinners. But now, I’m with you. I’m personally sick and tired of all these perverted priests and maybe they should all be “canceled.”

Everyone needs to stop calling him “father.”

[@nanm2398]

Personally, I would wait until the matter is settled in court. When all is said & done, if guilt is determined then I would retool the 1st episode. But until then, I would wait. I know that emotions are running high with his admission, but legally I think it important to know exactly what that plea technically implies & whether it is changed in the future.

[@SeraphimRose17]

Ummm he pleaded guilty.

[@DetenteElCorazondeJesus]

He pleaded guilty to 'receiving' the obscene images. If someone sent them, they were received on his computer, it doesn't mean he accepted/approved of them. I agree with the one who said a legal guilty plea (in lieu of what threats, one might wonder) is different from actual guilt. Do we really trust the eff be I these days? Question the timing of this. A French Traditional priest was also in the news in the same week as Fr. Jackson's 'guilty' plea. This a few weeks after Sister Wilhelmina - who suffered and labored for Tradition - was found to be incorrupt. Fr. Jackson was first accused after his participation in this beautiful Mass of the Ages video. His words were the cliffhanger at the end of Episode I that promised to tell all that went wrong in the imposition of the new Mass.

[@paulkossik]

An important difference is that the original authors/filmmakers are remaking their own film.

[@Mrsdyiesza]

Thank you so much. It’s painful but it’s the refiner’s fire. 🙏🏽 I was watching Chrsitine Niles and her commentary and I thought at some point or just a matter of time, The Mass of All Ages will see and realize the need for that segment of Fr. Jackson to be removed 🙏🏽 thank you

[@AMDG_-nk2dp]

Is it possible to cut out or remove that segment with father Jackson? And maybe replace it with another priest's comments ?! That way the original video remains intact ?!

Sadly, the TLM doesn't guarantee holiness. Fr Jackson's sins should be a warning to everyone, regardless of which liturgy we prefer.

I hate that you have to do this. That episode was so amazing. James Jackson's part in it was terrific. But what he did is horrific. I don't like the position you got put into and the nasty stuff that got thrown your way. I don't think that your first reaction was rash. I just think that this is a better way to go.

[@jamescomerford4063]

Interview Father McCarthy

[@seanyarger]

Sadly, this is probably the right decision for the good of the cause. However, having known Fr Jackson personally as our parish priest in CO, I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that he possessed such a weakness. His commentary in the original film was exemplary, as is his writings and pretty much everything else he accomplished - including teaching Bishop James Conley the Latin Mass so he could confirm my three oldest children (among others). The confession I heard in that courtroom was, I hope, one of a wrongly accused and infinitely humble man, who simply desires to avoid any further scandal for Holy Mother Church. I fully accept that it could be wishful thinking on my part, and only he and God know the full truth, but the irregularities surrounding this case should at least cast reasonable doubt among reasonable people. I pray he still achieves the beatific vision regardless.

Thank you for being one of the few who not only listens, but apologizes. Something so often forgotten. You are forgiven, brother! The devil walks among us, and hates the return of traditional Catholicism and the reverence it brings. We must not repeat the last century that hurt so many. Porn must be killed, and I urge clergy and lay leaders who struggle to seek help as soon as possible. Christ demands it!

[@MichaelOH1952]

The series was an interesting concept highlighting the TLM. O’Hearn did the right thing taking Episode 1 offline. Even if Rev Jackson was viewing the questionable material just out of curiosity, it was still vilely pornographic involving minors and obviously illegal, not to mention misuse of church revenue. I have already commented that pedophilia is a generational family disorder which must be taken into account. tbs To remake the video would be capitulation to obnoxious opportunists such as Michael Voris and Janet Smith who call themselves Catholic. It will not be done anytime soon, so why do it at all? Let sleeping dogs lie.

[@jowr2000]

The hypocritical, mortally sinful behavior of some of those associated with the TLM, has of course nothing to do with the TLM itself. Good move to remake TLM 1, eliminating Jackson. 👍👍
