Mel Gibson WWJD?!? I'm Not Asking This Excommunicated Archbishop!!!
Published
Mel Gibson and a controversial archbishop chopped it up during a visit to the set of "The Resurrection of the Christ" ... but there's no consulting going on, TMZ has learned.
Here's the deal ... a Friday report stated excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is a consultant on Mel's follow-up to his blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ." It was a shocking development to some, given that Viganò was booted by the Vatican in 2024 for refusing to recognize Pope Francis’ authority.
A source close to 'Resurrection' production tells TMZ … Viganò is NOT a consultant on the film. Viganò visited the set, and the two conversed … but that’s the extent of their relationship. Viganò posted some snaps of his set visit, which likely kicked the rumors into high gear.
