Movie review.From John B. Shea MD FRCP FRCP Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. FRCP abbr. Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (C) re Michael Swan, in his article "The truth will set movie-goers free" that reviews the award-winning movie, Brokeback Mountain, in the February 9, 2006 issue of the Catholic Register, stated: "When the gay cowboy cowboy Horseman skilled at handling cattle in the U.S. West. From c. 1820, cowboys were employed in small numbers on Texas ranches, where they had learned the skills of the vaquero (Spanish: “cowboy”). lovers first discover a way to be authentic with each other--truthful about their basic sexual attractions Noun 1. sexual attraction - attractiveness on the basis of sexual desire attractiveness, attraction - the quality of arousing interest; being attractive or something that attracts; "her personality held a strange attraction for him" and the source of their happiness in each other--they achieve a resemblance to truth itself." My comment: homosexual attraction does occur. That is a fact. However, it is also a disorder, a temptation which must, morally speaking, be resisted. Swan also says that the cowboys are truthful about the "source of their happiness in each other." Does this mean that homosexual activity is a true source of happiness? Plaudits for this movie are hardly what one would expect to read in a Catholic publication. Toronto, ON Editor:.
