and if he didn't have such a huge ego, he might have figured out that the only reason his ex-girlfriend pretended to be into him was $$$$

IIRC sedevacantist =”Vacant seat”, the idea being that there isn’t a proper Pope.
I can’t help feeling sorry for Mel, and I hope he gets sorted out. He may not be a Catholic, but the Left has hated him like a nova since “The Passion”.
He is being sifted, we should pray for him.
I do feel for Mel. He's obviously losing the spiritual war within his own soul. I pray he will turn to Christ and receive the mercy and grace he needs to get on track.
Oh my... I’ve been trying to explain this to people even when he was a family man on better behaviour who produced the Passion of the Christ. People don’t care-their only care is to neutralize his life-changing movie by dismissing it as right wing, homophobic “Catholic” propaganda.
Mel certainly has given them a lot of ammo in this regard. His has been such a pathetic fall, it’s hard to attribut it just to Hollywood. I think the devil so hated this movie (and the many souls it saved) that he set out to crush and humiliate poor Mel by temptation of his primary weaknesses: addiction, lust and pride.
Mel displays all the classic symptoms of Biploar type I. In a 2008 documentary, Acting Class of 1977, he first talked about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
The title of this article made me laugh out loud. I couldn’t really explain to the kiddos why it was so funny.
Poor Mel. His dad is SOOOO nuts, Mel never really had a chance.
What non-Catholics say about the Church is of no concern to me. Our Church was founded by the apostle Peter, under the aegis of God. Mere words, from humans, will never remotely contend with God's will.
What does bother me is the habit of many Catholics have of denying that we had, and have, bad members in our Church.
Mel Gibson may be exhibiting unsavory behavior, yet he does not do so in order to harm the Church.
At the other end of the spectrum, sexual predators masquerading as priests, nuns, or pious laics, are using their positions to harm the Church.
We cannot mend ourselves until we admit we are broken.
Who is worse? Gibson or Peter, who thrice turned is back on Jesus?
Mel is a human. He’s done good things and bad things— like humans do. The only reason we’re talking about him is that he’s a movie star.
In my opinion, Mel has mental difficulties— maybe he’s bipolar, maybe it’s something else. He’s clearly the son of his father.
Mel, I’m sorry that you can’t shut up and go away. A) You don’t have the ability to shut up. B) The media will not let you go away.
Mel is beginning to look alot like Soupy Sales....the same as Mick Jagger is morphing into looking alot like Don KNotts....And Paul McCartney is morphing into looking alot like a pigeon....
Of course he is a catholic..once a catholic always a catholic (heard that somewhere :)
If the libs are going to bash Catholics they should have a field day with the Catholics who are transporting drugs and illegals over the border each day.
This is true. Great examples of Catholics are the Kennedys.
I pray for him and his family more than anything else. I will not throw stones.
The flesh and spirit are always at odds and pride is a killer.
Through free will he made a choice to leave his family...
He’s suffering the consequences of said choice.
As an Orthodox Christian, I find the sedvacantist Latins a very curious (and unpleasant) group. If you inquire of their opinion of us Orthodox, why, they’ll tell you we’re schismatics and rail against us like the most extreme ultramontanists, but at the same time they argue for an ecclesiological position vis-a-vis the Popes of Rome rather like ours, though we think there hasn’t been a proper (Orthodox) Pope of Rome since 1009.
And those who will post comments here, saying the tapes were fakes, or that she deserved the trashing he gave her. Spare us. A man who slugs a woman is no man at all, and I don't care if she is despicable. And if the tapes are fake, Prove it. The preponderance of the evidence seems to be on her side.
Why drag religion into Mels failed love life?
I knew his father was over the edge, but I didn't think Mel had joined him yet.
For the Guardian, though, Catholic is Catholic, and there is no distinction, they hate them all.
