Lentorama 2009: Great(?) Moments in Catholics on Television
February 16, 2004: Mel Gibson gets theological with Diane Sawyer
In an interview promoting The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson went on Primetime Live and talked about his personal struggles with addiction, his faith, and the movie, which was about as interesting as you might expect. At least until he mentioned that is was possible for non-Christians to get into heaven, which you think would be at odds with his Traditionalist beliefs, which look to roll back much of what was put in place after Vatican II.
Gibson also got to stick it to the Vatican a bit over whether or not the pope had seen the movie, which I guess would make him feel better for making All Dogs Go to Heaven that much closer to a documentary.
