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.
