Mel Gibson: "A Great Man, a Distinguished Artist, and An Honest Catholic"

/media/news/21834/6.jpg

It must be nice to receive compliments like that, although you kind of have to take them with a grain of salt when they come from a guy like Father Henryk Jankowski, the Polish priest known colloquially as "The Golem Of Gdansk." He's famous for both his love of wine and his hatred of Jews, so it's really no surprise that he wants Mel Gibson to direct the film version of his life.

Jankowski is so hell-bent on having his fellow alcoholic-anti-Semite direct the flick that he's planning to raise funds for the film through the sale of T-shirts, cigarette lighters and other holy shit. He's no stranger to merchandising: Papa already markets a brand of wine called "Monsignore," which features his consecrated countenance prominently on the label. If the sight of his (self)-righteous mug doesn't make you want to hit the bottle, I don't know what does.

In any case, Mel and Henryk are apparently planning to meet in Poland this coming September, at which point they'll most likely knock back a few and spend some quality time bitching about all of the penny-pinching Jewish bankers who won't fund their movie.

Just goes to show there's someone for everyone out there. Awww.
