2000-year-old virgin finally makes it to Inverness

March 26th, 2007 by Monitor

Gagwatch reports that Martin Scorcese’s Last Temptation of Christ will finally be shown in Inverness where it has been banned for almost 20 years. It is part of a Visions of Christ season being staged over Easter.

The Highland Council confirmed that the ban had lapsed, but said it would look into the matter again if complaints are received.

    Why has this film been banned until now?
    I do hope that no church around the area has an icon of the Virgin Mary or such like, as that would break the 1st commandment. Some people are really stupid.
