You seem to attract a good amount of religous people who are trusting in your catholic point of view.... let me digress. I read your review of Brokeback Mountain and then went on to read all of the thoughtful and very interesting comments that followed. I was very impressed with the time,devotion & passion with which your readers responded. I even learned some things!! What I was totally taken aback with was the three or four postings at the end which refered to NOTHING concerning Brokeback mountain and in fact seemed to be adds for "a remodeling website", a link to a cheaper means of premium movie channels, and last but certainly NOT the least, one that actually said they accidentally found your website, liked and have bookmarked it and then goes on to say "I will pop back in from time to time to see what you have new here. Feel free to check mine out also 'better sex'"... Are you leaving these on your website to get random people who are doing searches for these other things so you can boost your number of "hits"??? How low!! Get this tasteless stuff off of your very lovely website... Other than that, I very much enjoyed reading your reader comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020370.post-1138773283378232342006-01-31T21:54:00.000-08:002006-01-31T21:54:00.000-08:00I guess I'm not as eloquent as the speakers here, ...I guess I'm not as eloquent as the speakers here, as being a high school student from CA. But I just wanted to praise God for you guys and Ms. Nicolosi. I guess I would be classified as an evangelical, and I don't believe the Catholics recognize any elements of outside churches. However, I wanted to thank you Catholics for "giving a ready defense" (1 Peter 3:15) admist the cultural wars of this nation. As you guys have been on the front lines taking the heat, we Protestants have been also tried and tested. I thank God for your commitments to Him, and I hope that He'll bless you guys. I've been following the arguements carefully, and I've been satisfied by sgf and gene's reasons. I want to state here, if there is any doubt, that the Church is not bigoted in the sense where it hates homosexuals but rather the sin of homosexuality. I have homosexual friends that I love as brothers, but I know that Jesus died on the cross to liberate them from sin. Jesus loves them also, or why else would He died for their sins? But Jesus loves them too much to let them stay who they are.

And when you say that you would be glad to play that role, do you mean the role of Jesus or the role of the donkey?"</I><BR/><BR/>Well, above I expressed that I am content to worship Christ, the founder of the Catholic Church & follow Him rather than rely on my own understanding of Scripture (since I am a fallible human being, I need to rely on the authority Christ gave the Church through the Pope & the Magisterium to interpret His Word) & not put myself or my will above Him & His will for me. This voluntary giving of one's will over to God is done in humility & not meant to be a source of pride. I am fully aware that it was, in part, my sins that caused Christ to be nailed to a cross. In turning my life over to Him, He can (hopefully) work through me for His greater good, rather than mine. ("I must decrease & He increase.") We were created by God to worship Him. And He demands to be worshiped in very specific ways (see Revelation).<BR/><BR/>In light of that, I think you could probably answer your own questions, MC. But (since we both know they were loaded to begin with) here it is from the donkey's mouth: God may use me in any way He sees fit. He is my Lord & Savior & I would never seek to put myself in His place. Just as he rode that donkey into Jerusalem, it is my hope that He will use me to spread His Gospel in whatever way He deems best. My life is not my own; it is His because Christ is the one who purchased my salvation with His death on the cross. I must choose to follow Him. The donkey, being an animal, had no choice. But we do, being human & having free will. Christ died for all persons &, being God, He knew full well that some would make the choice not to follow Him. But it is a testament to the great & infinite love He has for us (a love we can never hope to comprehend with our finite, human minds here on earth) that He sacrificed Himself anyway!<BR/><BR/>Does that help?<BR/><BR/>Also, there is some very specific symbolism in Christ's use of a donkey to ride into Jerusalem. You might wish to do some research on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020370.post-1138112015838354402006-01-24T06:13:00.000-08:002006-01-24T06:13:00.000-08:00"Christ had to ride a donkey into Jerusalem" Gene,..."Christ had to ride a donkey into Jerusalem" Gene, what is the point you are trying to make here?

See, I'm not God's spokesperson - that would be the Pope. I'm just a practicing Catholic who knows my faith, thanks. Nothin' more. Hey, even Christ had to ride a donkey into Jerusalem. I'll be more than glad to play that part.<BR/><BR/><I>"On second thought I think that I'll keep my version of GOD thank you."</I><BR/><BR/><B>Your</B> version? Yeah, have fun with that. Hmmm . . . I'll stick with the God of the Bible, thanks. The God that I can't put into a box shaped like me.<BR/><BR/><I>"No, it all comes down to the fact that it tells a story that it includes homosexual acts of love."</I><BR/><BR/>Um . . . no. It all comes down to that fact that Jack & Ennis make the choice to ruin the lives of everyone around them because of their lust. The only tragic character in the film is Alma.<BR/><BR/>Please learn this, MC & Larry: Just because folks might disagree with you, doesn't invalidate their POV. Or yours, for that matter. Just means they have different tastes. And, as matters of taste are not to be disputed, we're all free to have our own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020370.post-1138073889807808302006-01-23T19:38:00.000-08:002006-01-23T19:38:00.000-08:00My sincere apologies Gene.

All of that intimate knowledge of GOD's will and intention must be quite a burden to bear here in Sodom.<BR/><BR/>On second thought I think that I'll keep my version of GOD thank you.<BR/><BR/>And finally, with regard to the controversy Brokeback Mountain has generated here on this blog, in the end it isn't really about if the movie is slow, the characters well developed, or if this is a tragic love story. No, it all comes down to the fact that it tells a story that it includes homosexual acts of love. That alone is it's undoing in your narrow window of acceptance.
