An Italian politician has sparked a furore by urging state broadcaster Rai to block the transmission of a controversial BBC documentary.
The programme, aired in the UK in October, investigates the sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church.
Italian journalist Michele Santoro has asked to purchase the rights to the film to broadcast it on his talk show.
But Mario Landolfi, who heads Rai's parliamentary oversight committee, has asked Rai to prevent its transmission.
The programme, Sex Crimes and the Vatican, has been Google Italia's most popular online video choice since a version with translated subtitles was put online.
The Catholic newspaper Avvenire says that the bloggers who posted the documentary online have committed "wicked slander".

I believe you can view the video and see for yourself here:
But, these old commie computers I bought don't allow you to watch videos, so I can't be sure that works.
