Regardless, Gibson practices a very old form of Catholicism.

Well yes, it is very old, it goes back to 33AD.

I believe they even still give the sermons in Latin at mass in his church.

Not the sermons. But everything else in the Mass.

So, even if there is a new philosophy, it wouldn't surprise me that Gibson doesn't stick with it.

The continuous teaching of the Church for 2000 years was still being practiced right up until around 1965. Gibson has stuck with the original, while most of the rest of the Church is testing out the new modern version.

I respectfully disagree. The early church knew nothing of the Papacy, the veneration of Mary and the saints, Purgatory, the Immaculate Conceptions, Mary's Perpetual Virginity, and the Bodily Assumption of Mary.

All of these things are "add-ons" and would not have been tolerated as sound doctrine in the early church.

You people are absolutely relentless in your attacks upon the papacy and the Church and ought to be regarded accordingly.

The necessary implication of your post is that "St." Marcel Lefebvre, patron "saint" of the excommunicati, wallowed in sin for years from 1965 until 1988 not leading his gullible followers out of the Church of Rome after he had already achieved, as head of the Rota or Marriage Court, the opening up of the regime of annulment mills in the Church of Rome.

Either you are a sedevacantist or you reject the authority of the papacy itself. It is NOT enough to say that you may pray for this poor heresy ridden pope that he may return to YOUR church. You do not get to work the cafeteria and call yourself Catholic and the persistent practice of scandalizing others to reject actual Authority is no moral merit either.

Bushwah!
