The story calls him a devout Catholic who says that the Vatican is full of Child Molesters. He also is a Holocaust denier.

Nope, nowhere in my book does that spell “devout Catholic”. But it does serve to attack the Catholic church so it's put in the story. Also, how many devout Catholics divorce at 93?

Ya got that right.

You can call yourself a Catholic just like you can call yourself an onion.

That doesn’t make you one.

Because Mel, once upon a time did Something Right(tm) in his life and made a good movie that the left hates and hisses at.

These are the leftover hisses.

Mel and his dad are no nicer than I am. We all go to the fire without grace.

But any opportunity for the haters to hiss... they won't miss.

He believes in the Pre-Vatican II Catholic Church, as does Mel. They didn’t like the changes to the English version of the Church and all the other changes that went with it, so they have ignored the “new” Church and have continued to observe the traditional Latin Mass and anything that is pre-Vatican II. BTW, how old is his wife?

I don't know. Is Free Republic morphing into a tabloid?

Catholics can divorce...they just can't remarry in the church unless they get a special disposition....

probably had to do with money....probably the man was persuaded to divorce to protect whatever assets he had to bequeth to the family....but who really knows...
