    Such a weak belief is extremely fragile and has nothing to do with homosexuality. Regarding God as a magician who cures intractable diseases (spiritual and physical weaknesses and deficiencies), as a tool, but not an end. The verses chanted in the mouth are just fables of self-comfort. The film mentions body several times, refuses to send the Eucharist to the lover, and desires the flesh of Jesus on the cross. Body becomes the top priority of everything. However, the road to sanctification does...

    7.5 He stood opposite me and prayed to God. His face was pious and well-dressed, but I knew that his soft eyes were full of false feelings. I could guess what happened after he returned home and closed the door: walking naked, messing with pets, mistreating pets, changing Pretending to be peeping, etc. or more perverted and more disgusting... His prayers I have not heard a word, and my heart has blocked the hypocritical voice. After the prayer, I kissed his forehead. Will forgive you? I asked...

    Seeing that this film was actually a TIFF vote of a certain year, I made up a lesson. In fact, this is the predicament of the secularization of religion. If mankind contemplates God, then the secularization of religion is inevitable with the progress of the times. If God really created the world, then he can tolerate the independence of his people. Thoughts have evolved. No matter what the process is, the Catholic Church is walking on thin ice. The tendency of this film is...

    After reading the young pope, I learned that the Catholic Church has zero tolerance for gay priests. I wonder: Isn’t the chance of heterosexual priests breaking shoes more likely? Who will answer this question for me. This film attempts to look at it from a neutral perspective, first as a person’s priest, and then to see that the conflict between divinity and humanity can be reconciled from different interpretations of the Bible, but there is always no ultimate answer (it feels like the Bible...

    The greatness of this film in that era full of discrimination inspires people to ponder, what is the nature of Christianity? Is it strict dogmatism or love and tolerance (for all men)? In the context of today's time, I don't think this is a tragedy. It is the false respect that the priest loses, but he reaps his own salvation and rebirth. @2017-01-22...

    I thought the film title I found was "il Prete", with a duration of 102 minutes and 37 seconds, and a source of dialogue in Italian. It was not this movie, but it turned out to be true. It's a pity that the content of the film involves too much religious discussion, which leads to more and more loss of interest in watching the movie. In the end, I chose to browse the latter part hastily. --Director Antonia cut out the exposed part of Linus Rocher's buttocks to ensure that the film will receive...
