Mel Gibson 'Church Needs House Cleaning'

Mel Gibson is set to release a new film starring Mark Wahlberg, entitled ‘Father Stu’.

The story is based upon the true story of Father Stuart Long, a boxer and troublemaker turned priest.

In a new interview, the Catholic director has stated that this story is a reminder for Catholics to get back to what the church is good at. Gibson points out that bad characters have used the institution for evil in recent years, with a need for ‘house cleaning’ now required to take place.

The comments come some months after Gibson criticised the ‘bullying and persecution’ of Traditionalist priests by extremist liberal ones.
