2:11 I’m glad that he gave Greg some encouragement: “Love who you want, when you want! Get out.”

Father Greg is the metaphor of the Catholic Church. When I was going to a Catholic sectarian school we were always taught about the Church infallibility and immutability. But if you do a little research on its history you know that the Roman Catholic Church has its fair share of mistake. That because basically it is ruled by men, it is susceptible to mistakes. Those who run it are also not perfect human beings and are capable of committing unspeakable sins. Here we see our main hero who is a conflicted man. He is devoted to his vow as a servant of the church and its tradition but at some point its those very same traditions that make him unable to help evil that is happening. He hears a confession of a young girl who is being sexually abused by her father. To add insult to the injury the father also validates through a confession that he has been engaging indeed engaging in a incestous sexual relationship with his daughter and is not one bit remorseful about it. He want's the damn thing to stop, but at the same time he must respect the secrecy of the sacrament of confession. Father Greg himself, while a genuinely good person struggles with his own homosexual tendencies. He tries to deal with his urges the most discreet way he knows how, but eventually that becomes his undoing. Nonetheless, you sympathize with him knowing that he is not really an evil person. Its not like he raped anyone, or hired a prostitute to deal with his urge. I am not saying that what he did was moral, but the point is when his secret comes out, everybody judges and codemns him for that one flaw that he has and never really asked for. Nobody really asks to be born gay, or to grow up gay. Its just the way he is. In the same way, I do not want to say that despite of the catholic church being imperfect from my perspective, it deserves to be demonized. Niether am I saying that such acts should be tolerated. To tell you the truth, I honestly believe that IF (Yes all caps IF) homosexuality is indeed a sin in the eyes of God, then then let him be the one to pass the best judgement on them. Point is, like the hero the Church IMO is a flawed institution but it would also be unfair to call it bad or evil. I loved the ending of this movie (Spoiler ahead). Father Greg and the abused young girl embrace each other during a communion. No church goer took a communion from Father Greg besides that girl. And they end up sobbing together. I they were two broken people who found redemption in each other.

神父演員Linus Roache 在1997年主演The Wings of the Dove

欸,神父的情人是演過007反派還有童話小鎮的Mr.Gold耶

 

故事好,演员佳。故事带出了同性恋所要面对的问题,与其同时,也被宗教绑架了。最讨厌这种自以为是,好像什么都知道的道德/宗教绑架。有什么宗教教义,会让信徒以自我为中心,摒弃其它不同类型的族群?有,只有邪教。所谓的教义是人类杜泽,来约束信徒的力量。那些为宗教疯狂的蠢才,是无脑无知无能,还是脑袋装屎装草,只有自己才知道。
我非常尊重他人的宗教信仰,但不得不说过去的教义与经典已经无法解决今天的社会问题和矛盾了。陈旧的信条和新兴的思想成了这个新世界的众多不安之一。宗教对于人类来讲到底是恩赐还是诅咒呢?
 
 
就是因為知道 神父不會告訴別人 才會和神父說呀 如果破壞了這種規矩 誰還會去說呀 暗示都沒得暗示了好吧
 
 
是对是错 是好是坏 每个人的心中都应有一盏明灯 这个世界上只有上帝是完美的 其余的都是罪人 都犯过各式各样的错 居然如此 他们又怎么能因为性取向 而定下一个人的罪
