I don't know if this is where Mel stands or if he has thrown his hat in with the Lefebvre gang.

Last night EWTN rebroadcast an interview with Mel Gibson and he specifically said "Christ died for ALL" and that it wasn't the Jews that were responsible for the death of Christ it is ALL of us who are responsible. That didn't strike me very SSPX-like. Also he said he "was over-run with Jesuits" on the set - hired for language and historical purposes.

Are you out of your gourd? Why would you suppose the SSPX would not agree that we are all responsible for Jesus' death? What kind of bizarre prejudice do you harbour against the SSPX to state such an outlandish thing? To even state this so casually is shocking to me. SSPX affirms whatever the Church had affirmed before Vatican II. It does not in any way shape or form believe, for instance, that the Jews are collectively responsible for the death of Jesus, or that we are not all responsible. You need to set the record straight on this and not spread slanders about a group of dedicated Catholic priests about whom you know nothing about.

Good catch. He nailed every answer.
