Benedetta is a 2021 France/Belgium/Netherlands historical romance by Paul Verhoeven Starring Virginie Efira, Charlotte Rampling and Daphne Patakia
A 17th-century nun in Italy suffers from disturbing religious and erotic visions. She is assisted by a companion, and the relationship between the two women develops into a romantic love affair. A lesbian
nun thriller that features a sex scene that has been slammed by Catholic groups who have claimed it as appalling and blasphemous. The film was released on Good Friday, The film, Benedetta, directed by Paul Verhoeven, is based upon a real-life
story of a 17th century nun called Benedetta Carlini who is suffering from from disturbing religious and erotic visions. A scene which features a statue of Virgin Mary being used as a sex toy has been particularly slammed by Catholics. A spokesman
for the Irish Society for Christian Civilisation, Damien Murphy said: This movie is a fraud and nothing more than a blatant attack on the Catholic faith. There is no way that a director would depict Mohammed acting in
a sexual manner. There is not one director in Hollywood or Europe who would dare mock Mohammed or the Jewish faith -- it just wouldn't happen.
The Irish Society for Christian Civilisation have launched a petition calling for the film
not to be released, which has drawn more than 13,000 petitions. The petition reads: I strongly oppose and condemn your distribution and promotion of Paul Verhoeven's film Benedetta. It offends God, and countless
Catholics all over the world. This immoral film blasphemously features several Jesus-on-nun intense 'make outs', a statuette of Mary Most Holy used as a sex-toy and voyeuristic lesbian nuns pornography.
