Gibson's chapel has 70 members and attendance is by invitation only. That's an "exclusive" church.I imagine that if he didn't do this, he would have to contend with groupies showing up there just to get a glimpse of him and possibly disrupting the service.

Also, private chapels have historically been very common for wealthy Catholics to own. There isn't a crime or sin here; the guy wants to worship at the ancient rite of Mass in peace. More power to him.

No it is a private church and is not a part of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It is NOT a Catholic Church in union with Rome.
