MEL Gibson has surprised a conference of US Catholic bishops by flying on a private jet to America’s heartland and asking them to pray for him.
The Hollywood star, linked to a sexy Russian songstress and expected to lose half of his estimated $1 billion fortune to soon-to-be ex-wife Robyn, shocked members of the Eastern Catholic Church Bishop Conference when he arrived in St Louis this week to meet them.
“I was more than surprised. I was flabbergasted,” Bishop Robert Shaheen of the Maronite Church told St Louis TV station KPLR.
The New York-born, Australian-raised Oscar winner did not ask the bishops for their support as he enters divorce proceedings with his wife of 28 years, but he did tell them he was “going through a bad time in my life”.
Gibson was interested in talking to the bishops about the Maronite’s tradition of using the language of Jesus, Aramaic, during mass.
