"Mel Gibson might be my favorite feminist. If he's not number one on my list, he's pretty close, in competition with Pope John Paul II." -- Kathryn Jean Lopez, Always Wrong About Everything, National Review 12/2/03
Mel Gibson, the National Review's favorite feminist, comes off kind of poorly in some new audiotapes, secretly recorded by his ex-mistress, in between the times he was punching her. He's clearly a hothead. Okay, and a misogynist. And a racist. And a bully and a douchebag. And, oh, let's just come right out and say it, the guy's a monster.
But is he a bad Christian?
Before we get on our high horses about anyone's career-ending rant, we have to remember: Mel Gibson isn't just a feminist; he's also Jesus's best friend. As patron of his own heretical sect, he's quite literally more Catholic than the Pope.
And before the secular humanist lame stream media starts judging Mel's words and actions, maybe they should ask themselves: Do you own a church that still performs a pre-Vatican II Latin mass?
So we can judge him by our own subastral standards, or we can ask: Were any of the feelings he expressed about women actually anti-biblical? Let's look.
