Report: Mel Gibson Builds Calif. Church
.c The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Actor Mel Gibson is the person behind a 9,300-square-foot, Mission-style Catholic church complex in Malibu, Calif., that is not affiliated with any diocese.
The star of ``Braveheart,'' ``Lethal Weapon'' and ``Mad Max'' financed the building for about 70 fellow members of the ultraconservative group Holy Family, according to Sunday's The New York Times Magazine.
Among other things, Holy Family and other so-called traditionalist congregations conduct Sunday Mass in Latin.
Gibson has never minimized the importance of his religion, but of late it is even showing up in his work, the magazine noted.
Last year he portrayed two characters deeply affected by their religion - a former minister in ``Signs,'' about an alien invasion, and a Catholic lieutenant in the war drama ``We Were Soldiers.''
Currently, Gibson is directing a film that depicts the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus Christ. The movie, ``The Passion,'' is in production in Rome, with the actors speaking only Latin and Aramaic.
Gibson declined to comment for the Times article, but at a news conference to announce the film last September, he acknowledged difficulty in finding a U.S. studio or distributor for the film.
``Obviously, nobody wants to touch something filmed in two dead languages. They think I'm crazy, and maybe I am. But maybe I'm a genius,'' Gibson said.

***AP's "Slight" here reminds me of when famed AP Reporter LINDA DEUSTCH was sitting right in front of me at China Army Moneyman JAMES RIADY's CHINAGATE Plea Agreement Hearing...
...as he told a Los Angeles Federal Judge under oath that he had not received one single nickle back from anyone in the Democrat Party he gave money to ..who had been telling US on TV that they had.
A Hot reportable FACT that went unreported to US by AP then ...
and now.
Just ask yourself: "WHY???"
