Sorry. Mel Gibson is not Old Catholic.

He is Roman Catholic, but he is part of an extreme sect, and worships at a church that is not part of a Roman Catholic diocese.

Again, sorry. Should have googled first.

Not a big deal--except that I, too, have attended the Old Rite Mass regularly (mine was authorized by the Bishop.)

I don't view THAT as extreme. Perhaps you know that the preaching in his church is extreme? Is the priest Extreme?

How do you define Extreme?

They are mildly schismatic...Rome does not want either Latin Mass or open confrontation with these folks.
