'Every Sperm is Sacred' wasn't exactly banned, but as the scene immediately following in 'The Meaning of Life' talked about contraception, it was frowned upon by the Catholic Church in many countries.

'Life of Brian' on the other hand WAS banned with many cinemas refusing to show it in the Republic. I have a southern Irish friend who took a trip north over the border risking all manner of indignities, just to see the film.
