  • For those who do not know, Mel Gibson probably got his Catholic faith from his father Hutton Gibson (97 years old now). Only Pope Pius x was more traditional.

    A friend of mine in Ireland used to have Mel's father stay as a house guest. I joined them on occasions. Only when asked if he had words with his son Mel for all the un-Catholic Hollywood movies he starred in did he find things getting awkward. I discussed the Galileo case with him and debated the matter of a geocentric or heliocentric Bible. Later he published a book trying to rebut every argument I put to him. I found that most interesting which led me to ponder a lot why a Catholic like him would not take the side of the most traditional popes, those up to 1741 rather than those who betrayed their predecessor including the Vatican II brigade.

    Anyway, Mel's The Passion of Christ (2003) was a beautiful thing. Looking back on it, probably the most Catholic exposure we will have this century. Nobody in tradition could fault it, to my knowledge.

    It made $611 million. I hope most of that went to worthy causes for I do not think it is Catholic to profit so much on something that is of our faith. I also hope the motive for a sequel is not profit but to 'stir' up the Catholic story and faith once again. I will really look forward to that.

    Then there is Mel's personal life. Is there anything as shocking as witnessing a 'traditionalist' breaking up the marriage and with kids and flitting off with another man or woman? When I see pictures of Mel with his 25 year-old temptress I cringe, for the Man himself and for the undermining it does to his 'Passion.'
     But then again I have witnessed about five such breakups among Latin-Mass
    going families. Indeed I have on occasions seen the culprits sneak back to that Mass every now and again.
    I cannot understand it. The mystery of iniquity.
    Let us say a prayer for Mel and the others, maybe that is what they need right now.

  • Perhaps those whom are seen to 'sneak' in to Mass, are remorseful, God protect us from Pharasees.

    When I say 'sneak' I mean 'sneak.' Had any of them come in the front door with all the others and kneel within sight of their deserted wives or husbands, then the word sneak would not be appropriate.
    When they slip in the back door, kneel in the corner and disappear after the last Gospel, then that is sneak.
    As for being 'remorseful,' well hopefully they all were, but in these cases not enough to return to their families and ask forgiveness.

    Amazing! Miracle of miracles!  8 sentences about Mel Gibson in a H?llyw??d article without mentioning Mel's "antisemitism" or drinking problem!

    Why are the never-forgiving "Jєωs" holding back?




    The picture is excellent - never forget that the new Church is a Judaeo Masonic Whore of Babylon that serves the Jєωs as masters of this evil world.

    Quite true.  Now if we could quite acknowledging its head as the Pope we would be able to starve the monster.
    "I receive Thee, redeeming Prince of my soul. Out of love for Thee have I studied, watched through many nights, and exerted myself: Thee did I preach and teach. I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world." Saint Thomas Aquinas the greatest Doctor of the Church

  • I applaud Mel Gibson and his father Hutton Gibson's traditional
    Catholicism and all they have done.
    Can you believe Hutton will be 98 in August, God willing ?

    This being said, I couldn't bring myself to see the film.
    I am of a minority opinion that the most sacred cannot be
    represented, and should not be represented in film.

    by the way, here's an Israeli story about it.
    "Mel Gibson to make sequel to anti-Semitic film".

    Didn't the iconoclasts use the same argument?
