We all have our demons. So Mel is not alone. Interesting that there is now an ongoing resurgence of "traditional" Catholic beliefs. I for one believe Mel was right and am thankful that the misinterpretations of Vatican II are now being put to right. After spending 20 years tryng to worship in the Protestant realms, I had a deep desire for the "traditional" worship and holiness of God the "the" Church. That is what brought me back to my faith 3 years ago. Too bad I waited as long a I did.
How convenient, Mel visiting sick kids, killing two birds with one stone; getting credit for Community Service plus free Press just before the release of his next film. I wonder if contrite Mel checked first to make sure there were no Jewish children in attendance.
your silly
keep the faith Mel, and don't let those holy Jo's get you down....just try
Mel like all of us can never find joy and contentment or salvation until He recieves the Jesus of the bible, not religious system false doctrines. There is no victory in his religion and therefore no joy and contentment. Not a problem unique to him to be sure.
The intensity of a belief has no bearing on the turth of a belief.
Right. The dude Riggs on the Lethal Weapon movies was really a preacher. The one shouting at his girlfriend to go down on him was just trying to get her closer to God. I still think he was or is taking steroids or something.
What Gibson and his crazy dad don't understand is, you can have all the outward appearances of "passionate" Christian faith, but it amounts to nothing if you have rage and hatred in your heart. Christianity is all about love, kindness and compassion. The Gibson clan seems lacking in these qualities to put it mildly. Both of them seem more interested in tearing down others who happen to be of a different race or religion.
No, Mel Gibson and his dad are right about Jewish people, they have done everything in the last 300 years to corrupt White Christian Western culture and countries and are at the point where they can make Europeans extinct through there lies and deceit of multi-culturalism and multiracialism, every single even in the past 300 years has been manipulated by Jews in order to take control of the world, and they white christians as being the main obstacle to obtaining that goal.
Brad,
Hey, buddy... it's the same imaginary god as yours that 'revealed' to them that they are the "Chosen Ones".
The man who is interviewed, and who – supposedly – frequented Mel Gibson's chapel, has no clue what he is talking about: women wearing head-dresses? Wrong word. No meat on Fridays? That's still an OFFICIAL part of Catholic discipline. Literal vs. allegorical interpretation of Scripture? They've both been a part of official Church teaching since St. Ignatius of Antioch, until today! Please, read even one well-written exposition of Catholicism before you go on a "pontificating" tour of what Catholics – supposedly – believed then and believe now. A little research never hurt anyone ...
