@MattGaspers @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism Well, as I have come to realize in the last few hours, you guys need to develop a thicker skin, so maybe it’ll be good for him. And you guys also need better reading comprehension, quite obviously.

@drusis33 @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism Yeah, and then he proceeded to mock Nick:

The plan is to read Cardinal Mannings ‘The present Crisis of the Holy See’ and then have a conversation with Mario from Novus Ordo watch about the Passion of the Church.

@MattGaspers @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism ….can have agreement WITHIN itself. Logical agreement does not mean a sound argument or true premises. I saw that post from Jackson and so no reason to believe he is advocating sedevacantism. He is again offering HIS explanation for why Nick (one of your guys) is floundering.

@drusis33 @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism No, according to Jackson, “Derksen’s reasoning is doctrinally consistent and supported by the classical magisterium.” That is an unqualified statement of agreement and advocacy, not “explanation.” Moreover, Jackson has repeatedly reposted NOW posts in agreement, for example:

@MattGaspers @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism “Within his own premises.” You’re leaving that out. Premises that, if Jackson agreed with, would make him a sedevacantist as well. But he is not a sedevacantist, so presumably he does not agree with some premises. Just as Calvinism, within its flawed premises….

@MattGaspers @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism Can we not talk about an “airtight logic” WITHIN the premises of Calvinism? Or any other errant thinking? Is it possible you have been misunderstanding and misreading him? Perhaps because you have a personal problem with him?

Jackson: “Derksen’s reasoning is doctrinally consistent and supported by the classical magisterium. His distinction between authority and infallibility is textbook ecclesiology, and his emphasis on the Church’s visible, hierarchical structure reflects a sound understanding of Catholic indefectibility. Within his own premises, especially the sedevacantist conclusion that post-Vatican II claimants cannot be true popes, his logic is airtight.” bigmodernism.substack.com/p/lets-get-rea… As for your other point, I assume Anthony will be going on Mario’s channel and not vice versa.

@MattGaspers @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism I apologize also for the shortness of my responses. It difficult to respond to paragraphs when you have a tight character limit.

@MattGaspers @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism I haven’t read everything Jackson has written, but I would be interested to see where Jackson, who does not believe in sedevacantism, gives credence to it. Also, if Anthony is broadcasting this to everyone, is he not allowing greater exposure for NO Watch?

@drusis33 @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob @BigModernism Having a discussion/debate with Derksen is not the same as giving credence to Derksen’s erroneous views and promoting his content, which Jackson does.

@CatholicRob Interesting? So you’re just out to get this guy now. There is nothing interesting about that post. You guys are *all* being absolutely petty.

Interesting

@MattGaspers @CatholicRob @Michael_J_Matt @Catholicizm1 @BigModernism Technical does not EQUAL truthful, my friend. Technical sometimes means trivial, such as the distinction made here.

@drusis33 @CatholicRob @Michael_J_Matt @Catholicizm1 @BigModernism "techincal" = truthful

“We are supposed to be friends.” Friends usually share their real names with one another, but apparently I’ve never known your real name after roughly 8.5 years of friendship (frankly, I was shocked when @Michael_J_Matt revealed that “Chris Jackson” is your pen name during one of his shows earlier this year). Friends also don’t accuse one another of platforming people for selfish and dishonorable reasons, as you have now accused me. @kennedyhall, @TaylorRMarshall, @DrKwasniewski, and @Catholicizm1 (shown in your post) are all friends of mine whom I genuinely respect, which is why I invited them to join me for live streams on my channel. And since you’ve apparently forgotten, I told you via DM last September that I’d be willing to host you, @StephenKokx, and @EsquireCatholic on my channel “for a discussion/debate about all the ‘Trad Inc’ stuff if y’all are interested.” You never responded. In your quest to battle the Church’s internal enemies (a noble endeavor), you have ironically chosen to throw your lot in with certain external enemies of the Church, i.e., sedevacantists (I leave their subjective culpability to God alone), to say nothing of your bizarre devotion to Donald Trump. Let me be clear: friend or not, I cannot and will not support you in this grave folly.

@CatholicRob Yeah I wouldn’t know his name. But he didn’t just pop up within a year. That is the info I am conveying.

@drusis33 That doesn’t tell us what his name is

It would be interesting to learn who this "Chris Jackson" persona really is and where his loyalties might actually lie.

@CatholicRob You will not find his writing there anymore bc MM scrubbed it.

@CatholicRob He wrote for the Remnant for years. You guys just didn’t read it.

@CatholicRob @MattGaspers @Michael_J_Matt @Catholicizm1 @BigModernism The main thing here is that I nailed the true cause of Matt’s problem with Jackson over on Jackson’s page. It’s personal. And I recommend here what I recommended on Jackson’s page to calm it down between them: booze. Lots of it.

@drusis33 @MattGaspers @Michael_J_Matt @Catholicizm1 @BigModernism I can't recall the last time we actually platformed a Sede on our channel. Can you remind me?

@CatholicRob @MattGaspers @Michael_J_Matt @Catholicizm1 @BigModernism Nor do I or Gaspers hold it against you as he holds it against Jackson.

@RedBowTie2020 @TaylorRMarshall @AmericaTribe Yeah I was wondering too.

@TaylorRMarshall @AmericaTribe What great things has the Pope done? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Trump doesn't understand Catholics. This is Trump’s blind spot: Trump’s financial and political successes are rooted in a personality cult surrounding the TRUMP brand. Even his preferred religious leaders are appointed solely because they are loyal to Trump first. Trump has failed to understand that Catholics have a greater allegiance to their Pope in Rome. Trump cannot compete with the Pope. Even when a Pope is mid-tier, Catholics will defend their Pope. Pope means “pop” or “dad” and while we may see flaws in our dad, he's still our dad. Historians will mark Trump’s attack on the Pope as one of the primary events that led to his downfall and the downfall of the Republican Party. The Midterms will be ugly. 2025-2026 was a triumphant year for Catholics with the first American Pope ever and a record-breaking increase in Easter conversions. Trump chose the absolute worst moment to throw darts at the Pope, publish profanity on Easter Sunday, and post himself as a “red cross doctor with glowing hands.” Trump cooked himself. He should have celebrated an American Pope and harnessed all the exuberant Catholic energy moving into 2026. But Trump shares the stage with no one. Instead, he attacked the one American who is more powerful and more popular than himself: the American Pope. Trump was blinded by his own (declining) aura.

@Catholicizm1 “I thank you for these reflections and for these important words during this visit, from a place that represents the space that belongs to God, a divine and sacred space, where many people come to pray and to seek the presence of the Most High in their lives.” That’s just naive?

While he may be naive, he is not saying Catholics and Muslims are in communion. For everyone outraged at his statement I want you to consider the alternative. The fact is that Muslims are already in our nation. If we can’t live in peace together then we’re about to see violence. Be careful what you wish for. x.com/poperespecter1…

@BigModernism @MattGaspers I don’t think Gaspers fits the Trad Inc bill, but I think he is upset you’re attacking people he considers friends. I have followed him for years and always respected his opinions. I wish he would back away from this. All of you need to have a beer together or something.
