“God wants me to be a priest.”
Having attended a Catholic parochial school and then a Catholic high school, one is exposed to many of the teachings of the Church and the duties required of priests in their role of representing Christ on Earth. There’s the priestly vow of celibacy and the sanctity of the confessional. If one believes in the doctrines of the Church, the conflicts presented in this movie are bound to be troublesome for the viewer of faith. You have a priest faced with the dilemma of keeping quiet about a parishoner’s sexual abuse of his own daughter which came to light in confession. And you have that same priest conducting a homosexual affair as a result of a gay bar hook up. On a side note, you have the young priest’s parish pastor conducting a live-in relationship with his housekeeper, thereby sidestepping the role of celibacy in his position as well.

It’s easy enough to believe that the film makers had an agenda here, and I don’t know if that was the case or not. For me it’s pretty simple, if a priest who made of vow a celibacy engages in sex with either a woman or a homosexual, then they shouldn’t be a priest. Father Matthew’s (Tom Wilkinson) justifications to Father Greg (Linus Roache) and himself don’t fly because they made a decision in their lives to uphold the vows of the priesthood. On the question of keeping a vow of silence regarding the confessional, I would prescribe to the idea that doing what’s right is more important than following a hard and fast rule if that rule were to cause serious physical or emotional harm to an individual. Personally, my own relationship with the Church was strained irrevocably when pedophile priests weren’t dealt with the way they should have been, that is, defrocked and expelled to prevent abuse to further individuals.

Within the context of the film, I thought the screenwriter and actors did a fairly commendable job in their difficult roles. The subject matter wasn’t presented in a sensational way and there appeared to be some thought put into the arguments on both sides with the characters of Father Matthew and Father Greg. For another thoughtful treatment of the priestly requirement on the sanctity of the confessional, one might look up Alfred Hitchcock’s 1953 film “I Confess”. It deals with a priest who faces a murder charge unless he divulges the identity of a man who confessed to the killing. It’s a story in which the fabled director shifts the viewer’s attention in different directions in somewhat of a departure from his usual movie fare.
