Are you Roman Catholic yourself? Traditionalist? Just curious as to what makes you qualified to judge whether someone who's rejected Vatican II is "in full communication with the Church."

Yes, I'm Catholic. And any baptized person who holds to the Catholic faith is a Roman Catholic, according to my catechism. I certainly don't have any authority to say that anyone is a Catholic. But neither does anyone-except for the Pope- have the authority to excommunicate Gibson.

The notion that a good Catholic can't reject Vatican II is ridiculous. It was a pastoral, not a dogmatic council--hence nothing it decreed is binding. In fact, it was a disastrous event which led to a widespread collapse of the faith.

Just out of curiosity, have you read the Vatican II documents?
