There has been a lot of speculation about Mel Gibson being "schismatic" and whatever. This article provides some hard facts, although it does not definitively answer the question.

Note that Fr. Stephen Somerville is officially a priest of the diocese of Toronto. However, as the article says, he has become a traditionalist, now offers only the Latin Mass, and has publicly renounced his service on the ICEL -- the commission that created the vernacular English Mass. That article has been posted here on FR before, here is an original link:

An Open Letter to the Church Renouncing my Service on I.C.E.L.

About 25 square feet in size

that would be five feet by five feet. elevators are bigger, usually, i think they meant 25 feet square.

At times Caviezel would attend Father Somerville's Mass in full costume before the day's shoot -- though not during the bloody scourging scenes.

What an impression that must have made on Fr. Somerville!

The last sentence is in error in that Lefebvre was exciommunicated for disobediently and illicitly consecrating bishops not for ordaining priests. The article is otherwise certainly useful in clearing confusion.

[Arthur McGowan]

LeFebvre incurred an automatic excommunication for illitly consecrating BISHOPS.

Please Help and no flames, Please. OK, I am starting to read the Bible for the first time (that it is not under threat of my parents, my Sunday School or for a grade in school) Where can I find a dictionary (on the net I hope) that defines words used in KJV? I know what the words mean now but they do not fit into context. Thanks. And yes I when out and bought a new Bible because I could not find my old one. Thanks to Mel and The Passion.

Mel knelt on his knees on the floor behind me and answered the prayers in perfect Latin."
