Kevin Orlin Johnson, Ph.D....raises some serious issues about the actor's relationship with the Catholic Church.

Looking at the responses, I feel better about not being "enlightened" by this news piece.
Is Mel in schism or not looks to be the unanswered question.
Reflecting back upon Mel Gibson's EWTN interview, there's nothing that stands out as an answer to that.  Wouldn't Arroyo have raised that issue?  I do recall Arroyo's comment "you and I share a love of the Tridentine rite", and Gibson's daily mass attendance being "detergent for the soul".  There was not much beyond that IIRC.
I will *definitely* tune into the next interview on January 23rd.

To me it's a little weird that we are commenting on the status of a particular individual. It's like standing at mass wondering whether your neighbors are in a state of Grace. Definitely not something that a Catholic should be doing.

The only question we should be asking is if the movie is appropriate to watch.
