Not a fake: The streaming service Netflix has to remove the parody “A Primeira Tentação de Cristo” (The First Temptation of Christ) from its program.

Because the character Jesus in the parody of a Brazilian satirical group “Porta dos Fundos” suggests that he is gay, a judge in Rio de Janeiro has now ordered that Netflix must remove the parody.

This was preceded by massive criticism from the church and also a petition from a Catholic organization that millions of Catholics see as an insult to their honor. The lawsuit itself was filed by the Catholic association Centro Don Bosco, which now published the following on Instagram after the verdict:

This is not the first ruling on the program with the gay Jesus, but rather the second instance: In the first instance, the broadcast of the video was still permitted and it could therefore still be found in the program.
