Mel 'holier than thou' Gibson, who used to brag about what a rabid Catholic he was, and once stated his beloved wife would be going to hell because she is an Episcopalian or Church of England or some such and only his brand of Cathoolic get to go to heaven.

Guess the hypocrite will be able to spend eternity with her after all.

What a laugh! Another self declared saint brought down by Eve.
