From the website Traditio:
The demon that Mel Gibson once told BBC interviewer Michael Parkinson existed within him has come out in full fury. He has done a grave injustice to his wife of 29 years, Robyn, and his seven children by taking up, quite publicly to boot, an adulterous affair with Russian chantreuse Oksana Grogorieva, from which Grogorieva is carrying his bastard child. He has done a grave injustice to the traditional Catholic Faith that he claims to hold. Grave as these sins are, they could be viewed ultimately as the grave human failings of a man in mid-life crisis who has literally gone beserk.
But now the other shoe has dropped. Apparently, the once-devout Gibson, however flawed, has turned hypocrite against God. Gibson is being reported in the August 10, 2009, National Enquirer, which has a record of hitting the mark when it comes to actual people (in spite of teaser article about cats being found on Mars), to have engineered an "annulment" by a bogus tribunal at his once-traditional Catholic Church of the Holy Family, which he built in Agoura Hills, California, from the proceeds of his 2004 The Passion of the Christ. The tribunal was reportedly presided over by his father, Hutton Gibson, aged 90, who also claims to be a traditional Catholic and publishes a monthly broadside entitled The War Is Now.
The report indicates that the "annulment" was secretly arranged just a month after his wife filed for divorce on Easter Monday, April 13, 2009. The "grounds" for the annulment were that Mel "felt pressured" into the marriage because Robyn was pregnant. (So Gibson now turns out to be an admitted fornicator as well as an adulterer.) "Father" Hutton, therefore, declared the marriage "untrue." Hutton is, as we all know, a completely unbiased party and the world's greatest expert on the traditional canon law of marriage!
With phony "annulment" in hand, Mel Gibson, aged 53, reportedly plans to commit bigamy by marrying his 14-year-junior adulteress in a splashy Christmas 2009 wedding. Mel Gibson would thus join the cadre of phony "Catholics" who have become public sinners barred from the true Sacraments. One thinks of the husband of four wives, the self-proclaimed "Catholic" congressman, the late Sonny Bono. One thinks of the bigamist former congressman Joseph Kennedy, who finagled a phony "annulment" from the Novus Ordo Church against his wife Sheila Raunch Kennedy, who was so aggrieved by the simony of Newchurch in the affair that she wrote a scanting book, entitled Shattered Faith, about the injustice of her experience. And, although it is a secret covered up even more deeply than the rape and assault upon hundreds of children by Novus Ordo bishops and presbyters, the Newchurch archdiocese of Boston is suspected of having granted a "secret annulment" to current U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, to enter into a bigamist "marriage" with his adulteress, Victoria Reggie.
This is the ilk, together the other 60,000 granted phony "annulments" by the Novus Ordo Church in the United States each year, with whom Mel Gibson now associates himself. (Before Vatican II there were only about 100 annulments granted worldwide.) Gibson's real wife is apparently no better. It is said that Robyn Gibson hasn't even waited for the civil divorce to be granted before "having the time of her life with a new guy from Northern California."
Good Catholics, how are we to explain Gibson's precipitous fall from Faith? He himself given us all the clues we need. He has admitted that he has been fighting a demon all his life. The period of his 40s, when he returned to the practice of the traditional Catholic Faith, in which he was brought up and acted as a Catholic husband and father, were the most successful years of his life. He produced his best work: the Academy-Award-winning Braveheart (1995) The Patriot (2000), and The Passion of the Christ (2004).
Perhaps partly as a result of the unending and virulent attacks upon Gibson and his religion for over two years by the anti-Catholic bigot and Jєωιѕн radical activist Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Sons of the Jєωιѕн Covenant [B'nai B'rith], who tried to derail the production of Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, Gibson gave in to the demon in his life, mainly the binge-drinking that led to two arrests for drunk driving, and now to womanizing and the destruction of his family and his Faith.
As the Scriptures teach us about mankind: "They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one (Psalms 13:1/DRV). It is sad to see a man fall from the Faith so badly, but then we see a Novus Ordo pope who has suborned the rape and assault by his bishops and presbyters upon tens of thousands of children. We see an Novus Ordo archbishop who is a sodomist and thief of a sizable sum from the Church poor-box to pay this catamite's blackmail. We see a bishop who claims to be traditional, yet who engineers the sellout of a large, supposedly traditional organization to the New Order that the organization's founder condemned as "not Catholic."
That, good Catholics, is the world we live in. That is why the true Faith is so important and why, when men fall from it, they fall hard.
