Deft blend of melodrama and tract that manages to deal with homosexuality, abuse, incest, and the politics of the Church with incisive results -- and even a dark sense of humor. Flawlessly acted.

Jimmy McGovern, scribe of the brilliant UK "Cracker" miniseries, completely shoots himself in the foot! I was rooting for the bishop more than for the "hero", who acts like a complete fool throughout

I don't get it, just because he's gay doesn't make it any harder for a priest to remain celibate--not that I'm catholic, or gay. But I do love me some Robert Carlyle.

Not very subtle, but it is still a very interesting morality tale.

One of my favorite closing scenes of any movie I can think of. It's an interesting struggle and I love the message of grace.
