When originally released it was subjected to a blasphemy case which the Pythons won.
Local councils could license what was shown in local cinemas and so a Mary Whitehouse campaign was launced and some local councils would not grant the film a license (obviously some never have).
The vicar is totally wrong, it does not poke fun at Christ, it holds a mirror up to Christianity (and by implication all religion) and shows how ludicrous it is. Obviously some Christins don't like what they see in the mirror!!!
There is a documentary about it all at the time of the release.
