Fraternity of Saint Peter: Former Rector of Seminary Pleads Guilty
Father James Jackson, 68, a former rector of the FSSP seminary in the United States, has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of child pornography. Prosecutors will therefore seek the mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and dismiss a second count of possession of child pornography, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office, told CatholicNewsAgency.com. His trial is scheduled for June 20. Jackson still faces pending criminal charges related to a child pornography investigation in Kansas.

I think we have to look deeper. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, is The Innocent yet did not defend Himself. He allowed the evil to sweep over Him and entrusted Himself to The Father. He did not seek the justice of human courts for He Is Justice. This man pled guilty. If he was innocent, would be have pled guilty? Would a person innocent of a crime plead guilty so as to receive a lighter sentence? Maybe. But a priest? Hmmm ...... If he did, well we have a problem. If he is guilty and his plea is truthful,there is hope. I think we Catholics need to meditate on this. We spend too much time defending ourselves when we are guilty or innocent. Should we not follow Christ's example?
