The New York Film Festival premiere of Paul Verhoevens Benedetta was greeted by a small group of protesters on Sunday. The biographical drama, starring Virginie Efira, tells the story of a 17th century nun who falls in love with another nun. It opened to wide acclaim at this years Cannes Film Festival, receiving a five-minute standing ovation and quickly becoming the talk of the event. But a group of protesters from the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property didnt have the same reaction, gathering outside of NYFF venue Alice Tully Hall with signs calling the film blasphemous. NYFF itself even acknowledged the protesters, posting a photo of a few of them along with information of the films screening times. We vehemently protest the blasphemous lesbian movie Benedetta, that insults the sanctity of Catholic nuns, one sign reads. Why the endless insults to Jesus? another asked. Benedetta has been fairly well-received by critics, with Varietys Peter Debruge writing: With its haters-be-damned approach to all things carnal, Benedetta is intended to arouse, thereby satisfying the most basic definition of pornography, even if Verhoeven (who claims a certain scholarly interest in the subject as well) does surround the titillating bits with illuminating insights into Renaissance religious life. Representatives for Verhoeven did not immediately respond to Varietys request for comment. What does CE think? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe they should protest the rampant pedophilia in the Catholic Church instead

I'm assuming these are the same 'Catholics' that are ignoring the Pope. Lol, I've seen some of the hardcore trad-catholics in my social circle denounce Pope Francis as being part of the "Deep Church".

Trad-catholics are some of the worst people you can ever meet tbh. They're all super recent converts too. It's all very weird.
