Gibson – heretic and phony Catholic who totally rejects the Catholic dogma on
salvation

Objection
from a reader: “…you quote Joseph Pohle, S.T.D.: ‘In like manner Mass may be celebrated
privately for the souls of deceased Jews and heathens, who have led an upright
life, since the sacrifice is intended to benefit all who are in
purgatory.’ [the reader says:] This is pure modernism, and implies that a
Jew or heathen who has led an upright life but died outside the Body of Christ
on earth could be in Purgatory.’ Hutton Gibson’s response: … ‘I can
appreciate that Leonard Feeney might
have difficulty in reconciling Joseph Pohle’s
implication with his own views.
Naturally, if no Jew or heathen
can be saved, then neither can be in Purgatory. But Pohle had never encountered Feeney’s subsequent
innovation, and therefore took no cognizance of it.’”
Comment:
A few years back Hutton Gibson, the “traditionalist” father of the famous Mel
Gibson, wrote us and expressed his disappointment that we hadn’t quoted him in
Issue #1 of our magazine. He also stated
that entire writings of his had been dedicated to our “heresy.” Hutton has
denounced us several times in his newsletters.
As we inform the many people who ask us about Hutton Gibson, the
unfortunate fact is that Hutton Gibson does not possess the Catholic Faith
(even though he claims to be Catholic), because he obstinately rejects the
dogma that all who die as non-Catholics are lost. It is a fact that Hutton
Gibson believes that non-Catholics can be saved without the Catholic
Faith. He has indicated this many times
in his writings. He consistently attacks
with a devilish tenacity the staunch priest Fr. Leonard Feeney, because Fr.
Feeney believed and defended this dogma which Hutton hates so much.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate
Domino,” 1441, ex cathedra:
“The Holy Roman Church firmly believes,
professes and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church, not
only pagans but also Jews or heretics and schismatics,
cannot share in eternal life and will go into the everlasting fire which was
prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church
before the end of their lives; that the
unity of this ecclesiastical body is of such importance that only those who
abide in it do the Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts,
almsgiving and other works of piety and practices of the Christian militia
productive of eternal rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no matter how
much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed blood in the name of
Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic
Church.”
In
his October newsletter, we see that Hutton Gibson again reveals his heretical
depravity. He is asked about Jews and
heathens getting into Purgatory, and therefore being saved. He says that Fr. Feeney might have a problem
with this, but J. Pohle (a heretic who also rejected
the dogma) did not encounter Feeney’s “innovation.” In other words, according to
Hutton Gibson, it is an “innovation” of Fr. Feeney that all who die as Jews and
heathens cannot be saved! This is
clear-cut heresy from a wicked man who is subverted in his sins. Hey
Hutton… you liar and corrupter of the Faith… tell Pope Eugene IV and Pope
Gregory XVI that this was Fr. Feeney’s innovation… you heretic.
Pope Gregory XVI, Summo
Iugiter Studio, May 27, 1832, on no salvation
outside the Church: “Finally some of these misguided people attempt to
persuade themselves and others that men are not saved only in the Catholic
religion, but that even heretics may attain eternal life… You know how zealously Our predecessors
taught that article of faith which these dare to deny, namely the
necessity of the Catholic faith and of unity for salvation… Omitting other
appropriate passages which are almost numberless in the writings of the
Fathers, We shall praise St. Gregory the Great who expressly testifies that
THIS IS INDEED THE TEACHING OF THE
The following could take place
at Hutton Gibson’s Judgment: [Jesus
Christ]: You know, Hutton, that I stated again and again in the Gospel that
he who does not believe in Me is condemned, and that Jews that don’t believe in
Me will be condemned. And you know that
the Council of
This
is not what could happen, but Hutton Gibson’s damnation is what will
happen if he continues on his path – and it is what will happen to all the other heretics who believe the same
way. Hutton Gibson is no different
from the Protestants who cannot accept the Catholic dogma on the Eucharist or
the Priesthood. He cannot accept the
Catholic dogma on salvation; it is too hard for him, just like those who left
Our Lord in John Chapter 6.
And
by their fruits you shall know them.
When Mel Gibson was interviewed on National Television by ABC’s Diane
Sawyer, just before his film came out, he had a great opportunity to
evangelize. When asked about whether
Jews and Muslims can be saved, all he had to do was read from the Bible, or
point to the words of Jesus Himself [in Mk. 16:16; Jn. 14:6, etc.]. And Mel should have anticipated that ABC
would ask him if he believes Jews go to heaven, so he should have been prepared
simply to quote Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Instead of simply quoting Jesus or Catholic dogma, Mel vacuumed the
power and the truth out of the Gospel, and told the world a new gospel, that
you don’t even have to be Christian to be saved.
From Mel
Gibson’s interview with Diane Sawyer on PrimeTime:
DIANE
SAWYER: (Voice Over) So when we talked with
Gibson and
his actors, we wondered, does his
traditionalist view bar the door to Heaven for Jews, Protestants, Muslims?
MEL GIBSON:
That’s not the case at all. Absolutely not. It is possible for people who are not even
Christian to get into the
DIANE
SAWYER: (Off Camera) You have the nonstop ticket?
MEL GIBSON:
Well, yeah, I’m saying it’s an easier ride where I am because it’s like –I have
to believe that.
I
remember when this occurred feeling extremely sad and disappointed, because I
knew what a blow it was for the salvation of so many countless souls who were
watching; souls who might have been impelled to seek further, to move closer,
to investigate more deeply the traditional Catholic Faith, if Mel had simply professed
its necessity and that it is the only way for them to be saved.
Perhaps millions of souls could have heard the truth for the first time
in their lives – the only truth that ultimately mattered for them in their
lives filled with countless hours of worthlessness and diversion from the point
of life and eternity. Mel could have
told them that truth for once in their lives – a truth that may have shaken
them out of their darkness – but no, he told them a lie instead. When Mel told the world on National
Television, a world that was anticipating his new film day after day all over
the news, that it’s not even necessary to be Christian to be saved, it was like
the story of his film went from truth to fable, from history to theatre, from
power to emptiness, from fact to fiction.
Mel
Gibson uttered his heresy when he was sitting next to a Jew, Mia
Morgenstern. Thus, Mel holds that Jews, Buddhists, Protestants, etc. can
be saved, and even Jews who reject Christ
– for he said this while sitting next to a woman who rejects Christ. And where did Mel get this heretical
belief? From his heretical father, of
course, who believes the same thing. Thanks
a lot, Hutton. Hutton the heretic was probably sure to
instill in his son Mel a detestation for “Feeneyism”
– that “deplorable” error – and behold the wonderful fruits: the denial of
Jesus Christ on National Television. Hutton reared him and prepared him to answer
like a good heretic, and he did. Mel learned his lesson well to believe in
baptism of desire and to hate “Feeneyism,” didn’t he? Mel’s interview was so bad that the next day
on Good Morning America a
Christ-denying Jew of the American Jewish Committee called Mel’s words
“fabulous.” The Christ-denying Jew
specifically made note of the fact Mel mentioned the possibility of
non-Christians being saved. (The devil
and those who are his take in all of this.)
And
this brings me to two other points: 1)
We often hea,r from those who believe in the heresy
of salvation for the “invincibly
ignorant”/non-Catholics without the Faith, that their belief is no
hindrance to their effort to evangelize or profess the dogma Outside the Church
There is No Salvation without compromise.
This is nonsense! If this were
true, then Mel Gibson should have been able simply to say what the Church says:
Outside the Church There is No Salvation;
but he couldn’t. Mel had to indicate
that you don’t have to be Catholic to be saved because this is what he believes.
Pope St. Pius X condemned the following Modernist proposition on
July 3, 1907 in “Lamentabili Sane”:
“The dogmas
of faith are to be held only according to a practical sense, that is, as preceptive norms for action, but not as norms for
believing.”- Condemned
The idea that we can preach that there is no
salvation outside the Church, while we believe in our hearts that there is
salvation outside the Church, is false and heretical. Those
who believe in salvation for the “invincibly ignorant”/non-Catholics without
the Faith will fail to call the non-Catholics to conversion without
qualification when it matters, if they
even try to convert them at all. They
will fail to profess the necessity of
the Catholic Faith precisely because they don’t believe in the necessity of the Catholic Faith. A true Catholic, on the other hand, can call
non-Catholics to conversion without compromise precisely because he believes what he professes. And the Catholic
Church believes what She professes.
Pope Eugene
IV, Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441, ex cathedra:” The
Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all
those who are outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans but also Jews or
heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal
life and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and
his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the end of their lives;
that the unity of this ecclesiastical
body is of such importance that only those who abide in it do the Church’s
sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts, almsgiving and other works of
piety and practices of the Christian militia productive of eternal rewards; and
that nobody can be saved, no matter how much he has given away in alms and even
if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the
bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”
2)
A “traditionalist” who also denies this dogma recently complained that those of
us who adhere strictly to this truth are making such a “big deal” about this,
and causing division among traditionalists.
The hypocrisy of this statement is astounding. Think about this: if you don’t want division,
then why can’t you people just be quiet – nay, shut the heck up – and repeat
with the Catholic Church that all who do not die as Catholics will not be
saved? Why must you and your heretical
friends insist on the contrary and all kinds of “exceptions”? Does this benefit anyone, even if they were
true? Even if you believed that some
men who are not Catholic can be saved without the Faith (which is clearly false),
you know that it does no one any good to
insist on this idea, so why do you go out of your way to do so? Is this not totally evil? Can you not see that this is evil, that it
benefits only the devil, that it serves only to discourage conversions and evangelism?
Why
can’t you just shut your mouths, drop your pens and repeat without
exception: Outside the Catholic Church
There is No Salvation? Are you trying to
keep non-Catholics from the Catholic Faith?
You blind fools, you are enemies
of God and the non-Catholics whom you falsely try to justify! For even if you believed that some men
don’t need the Catholic Faith for salvation, you can see that it does not
benefit anyone to insist on this. But
you insist on this falsehood simply because those who don’t believe this
truth cannot profess it when it matters, and the devil causes you to attack
the truth which you have despised in your hearts.
Only
those who believe in their hearts that there is utterly no salvation outside
the Church (Innocent III, Fourth Lateran Council) will be able to profess it
and truly call non-Catholics to conversion, which is true charity.
