You are so caught up in your traditionalist-bashing that you are blind to the other aspects of this story.

I don't care about other aspects of this story. Gibson is not in union with Rome, nor is his chapel.

The evidence is overwhelming.

Thanks for admitting this flat-out. Is Mel going to hell for not being in union with Rome?

[Jim Cane]

...And Rome is not in union with The Word. What'ryegonnadoo?

Excerpt:...

Ephesians 6:11-12
11 "Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places...".

I just don't get the point of so many people being upset over whether Mel Gibson's chapel is acceptable to Rome... Assuming you are correct and Mel Gibson's chapel isn't accepted by Rome, then what? I mean, it's not as if the media is out there every day beating the drum in support of the Catholic church. Is the point supposed to be not to go see the film because Mel Gibson is a lapsed Catholic? That approach by the media would be supremely ironic, given their extensively reported concern about anti-semitism. If the point of that media barrage is not to be judgmental about other faiths, then attacks on Mel Gibson's "fringe" Catholicism seem to be misplaced. I guess I just don't understand why the Vatican's position on Mel Gibson's faith is so important to a lot of people.
