ATHENS, Greece — A scene from an animated film shown to visitors at the new Acropolis Museum that depicts Christian priests destroying parts of the Parthenon has been deleted after protests by the Greek Orthodox Church.

The creator of the segment, Constantin Costa-Gavras, has demanded that his name be taken off the film credits.

“The priests used to destroy ancient temples. Now they want to remove scenes from a film,” Costa-Gavras said. “This is the kind (of censorship) that used to happen in the former Soviet Union.”
