Mel Gibson has come under fire for being hard on Jews in his film The Passion of the Christ, but apparently, he feels that Protestants are also doomed to damnation. In fact, it looks as if Gibson, a conservative Catholic, believes that his Episcopalian wife could be going to hell.

Gibson, interviewed by the Herald Sun in Australia, was asked if Protestants are denied eternal salvation. "There is no salvation for those outside the (Catholic) church," Gibson replied. "I believe it."

1. Gee, did he say the same thing to the Fundy crowds?

A bunch of sources on the Internet allege Mel kept his mouth shut in front of Protestant fundys... Wonder why?????

2. He is a Facist Catholic

He belongs to Opus Dei. John XXXIII practically banned them. JP II loves them, even canonized their Franco loving leader. I wish we could get a John XXIII back.

3. He is, Opus Dei is scary. I wish we could get John XXIII back too.

I think he's the only pope in my lifetime who was anything like the kind of Christian that Catholics should be.
