I don't see a 'slam' in this.
Perhaps Mary Murphy (sounds like an Irish Catholic name to me) may have inserted some of her own speculation in saying Mel Gibson should be singing 'hosannas' for the money his movie made - but otherwise, it paints a picture of a devoutly Christian man.
In fact, I thought it was quite nice.
As I said, you haven't read the magazine version!!! Trust me, if you like and respect Mel, you WON'T be saying that after you read it!
I am furious. They make him sound like a weirdo!!!
