So you have on the one side a Catholic "traditionalist" who, if you buy into the stereotype, would normally consider Evangelicals a bunch of heretics... Hey, he flat out said that his wife won't even make the cut because she isn't a Catholic! FWIW, I'm a staunch Protestant but I certainly expect to see many, many Catholics in Heaven, including Gibson.

Yeah, well, he's been married to her for how long? And yet he's still married to her (of course, he can't divorce her), but she's still not a Catholic. So, somehow, they manage. But I can understand why he says what he says and why he also says she's a saint. I don't see as much incongruity as some people might.
As to the other thing you said, I feel the same way.

I mean, this position of his (technically called "Feeneyism" by Catholics) puts him squarely against such dangerously heretical liberal Catholics as Pope Pius IX and Pope Pius XII.
Vatican II taught correctly and clearly on this issue, and what they taught is the traditional doctrine of the Church.
