Art film showing a naked man rubbing himself against Christ on the crucifix prompts priest to take legal action against Polish culture ministry

A Polish priest has filed charges against the culture ministry after it backed a controversial art film showing a naked man rubbing his genitals against an image of Christ. The shocking film - exhibited at the Warsaw Centre for Contemporary Art in Poland - shows a naked man writhing on and licking the statue of Jesus. It has provoked a furious backlash from religious leaders and politicians. Father Tadeusz Rydzyk said that he had referred the artist, gallery and the Ministry that sponsored the event to prosecutors. He said: 'We are filing a complaint against this pseudo-artist for insulting our God and against the Ministry of Culture for wasting public money on this obscenity.'
