Mystery and Sacrament on Brokeback Mountain

Another interesting column on Brokeback Mountain and the Sacred, from Thomas Novak's Queer Spirit column:
...Brokeback Mountain is also a moving invitation to reconsider some classic themes of Western spirituality and a startling meditation on Christian sacramental theology.

Passing through Greek mythology, the Hebrew Song of Songs, the Christian gospels and even the Sufi Muslim poet, Rumi, the creators of this magnificent work have taken us, literally, to the heights and depths of the spiritual journey.
