Hutton Gibson, Extremist and Father of Mel Gibson, Dies at 101
NYT ^ | 6/4/2020 | Steven Kurutz

Posted on 06/04/2020 9:12:54 PM PDT by Borges

Hutton Gibson, a Roman Catholic traditionalist and outspoken critic of the modern church who gained wide notoriety as the father of the actor Mel Gibson and for his anti-Semitic views, died on May 11 in Thousand Oaks, Calif. He was 101.

His death, at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center, was not publicized at the time. It was confirmed by a search of a California records database. Requests for information from several family members, including his son Mel, were not answered.

Hutton Gibson belonged to a splinter group of Catholics who reject the reforms of the Second Vatican Council of 1962-1965, known as Vatican II. These traditionalists seek to preserve centuries-old orthodoxy, especially the Tridentine Mass, the Latin Mass established in the 16th century. They operate their own chapels, schools and clerical orders apart from the Vatican and in opposition to it.

One hundred and one when he died? . Seems to have worked.

Extremist? Better than today’s pro-abort “cafeteria Catholics”.

Is opposing Vatican II considered extreme?

Will Bill Ayers’ obituary headline call him an extremist?

So, Mr. Gibson is “ an extremist “ for daring to suggest that Vatican 2 was an utter disaster for the Catholic Church.

The New York Times strikes again !

Nasty old bastard. That’s a shame because he caused Mel a lot of trouble by teaching him to hate certain groups.

NYT didn’t get that memo advising that one should not speak ill of the dead?

Not at all. It's perfectly logical for a Catholic to opppose VC II.

Catholics do not worship the same God as the muslims.

So the media that has estranged itself from good morals and
any relationship with God, is now the judge of what is
extreme or not, with particular emphasis on religious
matters?

I didn’t follow the guy, but I also find it strange that
they NYT thinks it’s an unbiased entity on that subject also.

Doesn’t it rip Israel every chance it gets? Doesn’t it suck
up to the middle-east terrorist world view?

Ahhhh, no thanks...

The article is trying to tie his anti-Semitism with traditional Catholicism. I hope he is with Jesus and Jesus is giving him a lecture about anti-Semitism.
