haven't heard that out of him but i'm with you. i like mel, and he is based, but his pre-vatican ii catholic splinter sect obsession is unfortunate. presumably he gets it from his father, who was a big-brained guy with idiosyncratic, "independent thinker" sorts of beliefs. mel clearly has some deep psychological hangups related to him. the protestant in me finds mel's super-strident catholic turn sort of funny, since while he's not a bad guy, he's no saint himself. you'd think you'd worry about other things before obsessing over church law and proper liturgical procedure to the point of building your own compound in the desert.
