Mel Gibson's church in Malibu

Mel Gibson shut down his church this week after one of his parishioners sold a photo of him playing with his daughter Lucia (this one) to TMZ. Wow, can you imagine traveling back to 1985 and reading someone that last sentence? You'd get punched in the face. From TMZ:
Sources connected with the church tell us ... Gibson was "extremely concerned about the invasion of privacy." One source adds, "He is not just concerned that photos of his daughter were taken at the church, he is concerned for the privacy of his parishioners."

Members of the Holy Family Chapel in Agoura, CA received an email notice from church honchos yesterday which read, "There will be no Masses here at Holy Family Chapel until further notice."

Our sources tell us, however, that limited services will continue to be provided. In fact, a service was conducted yesterday -- the Holy Day of Obligation  -- for long term parishioners.
It's sad Mel had to do this, but I understand his concern. If a guy can't get a little privacy at his own cult compound, where can he get it? Oh well, at least now Mel has a lot of free time on Sunday to watch football . . . or go deer-hunting with his bare hands.

    It's such an inviting church what with the walls around it. I'm sure J.C. would feel

    welcome.
