Beyond that, Niederauer had this to say when asked what he thought of the film Brokeback Mountain. While the film has been condemned by pro-family groups as a dangerous homosexual propaganda film, Niederauer admitted to seeing the film and remarked on it saying it was "very powerful". He added that "one of the lessons (of the film) is the destructiveness of not being honest with yourself and not honest with other people and not being faithful, trying to live a double life."
Perhaps that's what the Archbishop meant? That the 'very powerful' part of the movie he spoke of was how it shows what homosexuality can do to a family and how painful it is?
I'm just giving this man the benefit of the doubt here. It can be very easy to misinterpret words. I doubt he would've added the text in bold if he thought of Brokeback Mountain in the same way as the rest of Hollywood does.
Go back and read it again.
"Brokeback Mountain" has some truthful messages in it--even though the film certainly is pro-gay propaganda. One of the truths in the story is the role of the fathers of Jack and Ennis in causing the two men to grow up emotionally starved. The two cowboys need each other so desperately because their fathers were completely inadequate. Another truthful element of the story is the disaster brought about by dishonesty.
