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，演員佳。故事帶出了同性戀所要麵對的問題，與其同時，也被宗教綁架了。最討厭這種自以為是，好像什麽都知道的道德/宗教綁架。有什麽宗教教義，會讓信徒以自我為中心，摒棄其它不同類型的族群？有，隻有邪教。所謂的教義是人類杜澤，來約束信徒的力量。那些為宗教瘋狂的蠢才，是無腦無知無能，還是腦袋裝屎裝草，隻有自己才知道。

我非常尊重他人的宗教信仰，但不得不說過去的教義與經典已經無法解決今天的社會問題和矛盾了。陳舊的信條和新興的思想成了這個新世界的眾多不安之一。宗教對於人類來講到底是恩賜還是詛咒呢？

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

是對是錯是好是壞每個人的心中都應有一盞明燈這個世界上隻有上帝是完美的其餘的都是罪人都犯過各式各樣的錯居然如此他們又怎麽能因為性取向而定下一個人的罪
