Once again, priests decided that a movie shouldn\u2019t be played in this country. This is the second time in a year. Whether you agree or not, I believe we should be given the right to decide what to watch. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x6hKnMrDyu\">pic.twitter.com\/x6hKnMrDyu<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Anis Tabet (@AnisTabet23) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnisTabet23\/status\/1041605673191124992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote><br \/>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>  <br \/>  Presumably, the ban was evoked by Lebanese priests due to scenes deemed offensive to Christian faith and was advised against general viewing. <br \/>  <br \/>  The movie\u2019s plot revolves around a young nun in Romania who takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past, and a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun. The film was criticized for an inconsistent and weak narrative, but praised for its well-planned scares. <br \/>  <br \/>  The most terrifying part, however, is the interference of Lebanese religious figures with movie screening decisions. <br \/>  <br \/>  This is not the first time a movie has been banned from cinemas in Lebanon. Similar censorship incidents have been practiced on Anabelle 2, The Conjuring 2, Spotlight, Sheikh Jackson, and Rings.      <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
