"But what you may not know is that Gibson has also put up $5.1 million so far to run his own personal church near Malibu."

Ever heard of tithing? Apparently Mel Gibson has:

Malachi 3:8-12

8. "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, 'How have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.
9. "You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you!
10."Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.
11. "Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes," says the LORD of hosts.
12."All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land," says the LORD of hosts.

The Left hates rich people who hoard their money and do not give to "worthy causes". The only thing worse, is a rich man who gives money to the Church.
