Catholic bishops say a case they have brought before the High Court could have a big impact on the community.They launched a legal case over a controversial episode of the animated television show South Park, featuring a menstruating Virgin Mary.
Catholics complained to the Broadcasting Standards Authority when it was screened, but the complaint was thrown out.
Lawyers for the bishops have appealed to the High Court, claiming the programme breached obligations under the Broadcasting Act.
Church spokeswoman Lindsay Freer says the court has reserved its decision.
