Bishop Jose Guadalupe Martin Rabago, president of the Mexican Catholic Bishops’ Conference, and head of the diocese of Leon, has criticized the movie “Brokeback Mountain”—which in Mexico is currently being distributed under the name “Secret on the Mountain”—for its promotionof homosexual love between two cowboys.
Bishop Martin Rabago said that behind these types of movies and television programs, “there is a very clear tendency…of inserting a conviction into the atmosphere and mentality of society that a deviated sexual orientation can be considered completely normal.”
Asked about the controversial movie, the bishop noted that “people who have this type of orientation deserve respect, because they are human beings...but orientations of this nature are always abnormal, they are deviated orientations.”
“I can tell you,” he continued, “that those of us who have pastoral contact with these types of people know about their great suffering.”
