/^t/The Polish Church was opposed to the movie because it could not put up with the way the morality of the Catholic Church was portrayed. A priest's breaking the vow of celibacy is viewed by the Church as immoral. It is severely punished by expulsion. In the movie, however, the priest who broke the vow of chastity was featured as a positive character, and his behavior was interpreted as the reflection of his human soul. The Church also criticized the movie because of its portrayal of a Catholic bishop. In the movie, he is shown as having undue concern for earthly property, power, and prestige among people.
