Love Mel Gibson.
Little quirky on his feeling that the mass should be in the language of ancient Rome, though.

the catholic mass has become a hippy love-in---a piano jammin' stupid freak show with the tabernacle removed from the center focal point on the altar to a secondary position on the sidelines. God has taken a back seat to man and his selflove

As a 51 y/o ex-seminarian I remember the Latin Mass. My parish church was right next to Dallas Love Field which was the main Dallas airport before D/FW. Sunday mass had a lot of international travelers. Missals always had Latin and the venacular. You could travel anywhere in the world and fully participate in the Mass because it was in Latin.
Now we have mass in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog. The English mass still looks like a U.N. conference but the others only have a particular group. I still prefer the Latin Mass. As far as the sermon goes, I usually fall asleep no matter what language is spoken.
