From the start I've felt there was something unsavory about Gibson and
his movie. Yesterday I found this:

Actor-director Mel Gibson talks about his new film, "The
Passion of the Christ," during a nationwide satellite
interview seen Sunday, Feb. 8, 2004, at North Ridge
United Methodist Church in Millbrook, Ala.

February 12, 2004

Mel Gibson has come under fire for being hard on Jews in
his film The Passion of the Christ, but apparently, he
feels that Protestants are also doomed to damnation. In
fact, it looks as if Gibson, a conservative Catholic,
believes that his Episcopalian wife could be going to hell.

Gibson, interviewed by the Herald Sun in Australia, was
asked if Protestants are denied eternal salvation.
"There is no salvation for those outside the (Catholic)
church," Gibson replied. "I believe it."

He elaborated: "Put it this way. My wife is a saint.
She's a much better person than I am. Honestly. She's,
like, Episcopalian, Church of England. She prays, she
believes in God, she knows Jesus, she believes in that
stuff. And it's just not fair if she doesn't make it;
she's better than I am. But that is a pronouncement from
the chair. I go with it."

That's creepy.
