Over the weekend, Mel Gibson finally surfaced, walking from his $14.5 million Malibu home to his Catholic church for mass over the weekend.

The actor, 54, built the chapel in 2003 and services there adhere by his "traditionalist" views -- a foot-tall crucifix is located on the altar; the priest performs mass every morning entirely in Latin and women must wear head coverings.

Gibson could use a prayer right now.

For weeks, he has been at the ugly center of a bitter custody battle with ex Oksana Grigorieva.

Almost daily, new audio tapes surface of the actor berating his 40-year-old ex, threatening violence and spewing racial slurs.

In his latest tape - posted Monday on RadarOnline - he allegedly tells Grigorieva he regrets having a baby with her and acts jealous over her ex, actor Timothy Dalton.

"Did you get my last message about me being a bad father and Tim being a great dad?" Gibson asks. "You didn't hear that one? Well, you should go f*** him … because I don't care."

    TerriJ... This is not something he came up with. It is obvious you have no clue of the Catholic Faith. It has been that way for hundreds of years until just recently. When women started to act out !!!

    Women must wear headcoverings at all times in his church. This man does not see "us" as equals, and any woman supporting him is seriously lacking self-respect. We are in the 21st century Mel, and we don't live in Iraq. No sane person can be "made" to act insane. Mel was crazy long before this. I don't have any of the wealth and power this man does, but I am rational and capable enough to know when my buttons are being pushed and react accordingly. Mel has enough lawyers to handle a gold digger. What he doesn't have is self-control and decency.

    All I can say about this, is "Ye whom is without sin cast the 1st stone". As for me I will pray for him.

    Anyways Said: "all these negative postings are insaine...who cares what he does and he says. hes a brilliant actor with a great mind!..." ***** If you believe that--YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S INSANE TWIT! Whether he's a brilliant actor or not--no decent human being would spend one iota of their hard earned money on this SCUM BAG. Since you're so enamored of the man, why don't YOU and MEL Gibson meet up so you can butt F@CK one another. ...and it's INSANE not INSAINE...moron!

    What a sexist, arrognat ass! I used to love Mel Gibson...USED to. I hope he loses all rights to that child...she and Oksana would be better/safer w/out him. That being said...what did Oksana expect from a guy who leaves his wife to procreate w/someone young enough to be his daughter. Another GREAT example of a hypocritic Catholic "livin out" his faith. Takes a lot to make Tom Cruise/Scientology look good~congrats Mel...idiot

    Okay seriously this guy has some psychological issues. Why doesn't he just come out and say it. Maybe if he admitted he has bipolar disorder or whatever the case is, people would feel a teeny weeny bit more pity for Mel. But as of right now he just looks like a big bully.

  • July 28, 2010 - 7:21am sandy

    Definitely, nothing but prayers: I'm pretty sure that God is inter-religious, so it should not be a problem that I am not Catholic! Seriously, still wishing the best for Mel, especially peace of mind.

  • July 28, 2010 - 5:58am Amber

    Oh so now he wants to spend some time with the Lord. When he was getting another woman pregnant while he was still married he wasn't thinking about God. When he said those hurtful things he wasn't thinking about God.

    Mel, go to YOUR church all you want. Your actions are anything but Christian. Just fade and hide in phoneyland. Your number is up and you are all played out. Woman beater, racist, pyschotic nut. That is the real YOU and that is pathetic.

  • July 28, 2010 - 2:50am SunshineZ

    "Women must wear head coverings." OMG He really is insane. I never liked him as I always had a feeling he was THE biggest phony in the business. John Travolta is second in line for that title.

    LMAO! church?! why bother mel?

  • July 27, 2010 - 11:25pm Moni

    His behavior is indeed despicable, awful, horrendous! I would personally like to kick his butt for his hypocritical ways. I feel he deceived the public. Turns out he's a adulterer, fornicator, racist, uses excessive profanity, degrades women, isn't slow to anger, mentions pre-meditated murder plans, etc. Despite all of his sick ways, if he ask for 4giveness & is completely SINCERE, he will be 4given. Maybe not by us...but by God. For his sick soul, I hope he is able to get himself in order, b'cause right now he's out of ctrl !

    I think in part his religion has Mel all mixed up about what is right, wrong, decent, acceptable and he distorts the words of the bible to use as his justification for all his bad behavior.... He looks OLD and TIRED. He has shown himself to be anything but Christian or Religious.. "Just because with his money he has a Church built doesn't exonorate him from his numerous SINS... Since he can't act anymore (no one wants to see him on the screen), he should fade into the obscure..... Oksana saw that old fool coming a mile away... She got him to show his true colors and she will get lots and lots of money and sole custody of the child... Mel you've behaved like a man with an enormous ego soothing a midlife crisis.... Bet Robins glad now she's away from him... To think I was such a huge fan of his when he was younger and acted like a man....

  • July 27, 2010 - 7:44pm boohoo

    Now Mel goes to Church to get forgiveness? He is nothing but a slimeball. I don't care how good an actor he thinks he is, the things he says on these tapes is totally disgusting. He tells Oksana that her son should watch her screwing and that he is sorry he had a child with her. Don't blame the baby for their misgivings. Anyway, if anyone still likes that slimeball, you are nuts. He is a deranged man. No one forced him to spend millions on that woman. He did it because he wanted to. Give me a break.

  • July 27, 2010 - 7:04pm anyways

    all these negative postings are insaine...who cares what he does and he says. hes a brilliant actor with a great mind! this women obviously is one of those (of many) drama queens..and yes i am female but know someone that is just like Mel's ex apparently is. Shes making everyone think shes some victim when shes not...rock on Mel and continue holding your head up high and doing what you do best! Screw her shes an idiot and she will get what she deservse...which is nothing

  • July 27, 2010 - 5:42pm melfc1221

    Mel, you obviously haven't been taking your meds, lately. You've managed to offend just about everybody BUT God! It's time to clean up your act and start acting like a man! Let's hope the next time you set foot in church it doesn't fall down on your hypocritical head! What's that old saying about God not liking "ugly". Take the hint!

  • July 27, 2010 - 5:35pm Ali

    THE DEVIL WALKS!
