A pivotal nude scene on HBO's "Game of Thrones" has the show in hot water with a church in Croatia, and could result in a shooting delay, TMZ reports.

The popular series is shooting in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where the local film commission is refusing to grant permits because a scene calls for the character Cersei -- played by Lena Headey -- to walk out of  the Church of St. Nicholas onto the streets naked.

Apparently the church holds sway over the film commission, and the church is none too pleased with the scene in question.

Not only that, it is a very famous scene from the "Game of Thrones" book series, and important to the plot, so its hard if not impossible for the show to get around shooting it.

Stay tuned..
