BOMBAY (Reuters) - Christians in India will step up protests against the screening of "Sins", a Bollywood film that shows a Catholic priest in a cassock and cross having sex with a woman half his age, a religious group said on Friday.
The film prompted an attack this week by protestors on a theatre in Bombay, India's film capital and home to a large Catholic community. A further protest is planned on Saturday.
Christians object to the scene mixing sex with the cross, their main religious symbol.
"We want the objectionable scenes in the film to be deleted or the movie be completely withdrawn," Joseph Dias, general secretary of Catholic Secular Forum, told a news conference.
