New
York
(ANI):
Mel
Gibson"s
father,
Hutton
Gibson,
has
called
Pope
Benedict
XVI
a
homosexual.
Hutton,
91,
called
Pope
Benedict
XVI
a
homosexual
during
a
radio
interview,
according
to
TMZ.
In
the
interview,
the
host
asked
Gibson
if
the
Catholic
Church
has
become
“politicised" to
the
point
that
it
cannot
address
issues
like
homosexuality.
Gibson
responded
that
the
Church
would
not
address
homosexuality
because
“half
of
the
people
there
in
the
Vatican
are
queer." When
asked
if
he
thinks
that
the
current
Pope
is
among
those
homosexuals,
Gibson
said:
“I
certainly
do,"
reports
the
New
York
Post.
Gibson
also
called
the
Pope
“a
slippery
character"
and
claimed
he
is
part
of
a
conspiracy
to
destroy
the
Catholic
Church.
Hutton
Gibson
has
advanced
several
conspiracy
theories
related
to
the
Catholic
Church,
the
Holocaust
and
the
Sept.
11
terrorist
attacks,
including
the
idea
that
the
Church"s
opening
of
the
Second
Vatican
Council
in
1962
was
an
attempt
by
Jews
and
Freemasons
to
take
over
the
Church.
