Sam Taylor-Johnson's directed erotic movie 'Fifty Shades of Grey' has again been accused of encouraging kinky sex and sexual exploitation through the relentless promotion of the upcoming movie.

U.S. Catholic bishops condemned the movie for sending destructive message of infidelity, the Washington Times reported.

Melissa Henson, director of grass-roots education and advocacy for the Parents Television Council has accused that 'Fifty Shades' and its obvious release on Valentine's Day was pushing people to view sexual relations in the context of loving, committed, long-term relationships as boring and unfulfilling.

Buffalo Bishop Richard J. Malone, who chairs the U.S. bishops' Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth said that sexual intimacy in marriage was a great dignity whereas the movie discourages this fact and makes it all about domestic violence and sexual exploitation.
