Barbie

Diocese of Antwerp presents 'Barbie' by Greta Gerwich. This blockbuster not only entertains but also raises substantive themes. To begin with, feminism and the emancipation of women. The role of women in the Church in positions of authority, both locally and internationally, is still not a reality there. In Barbieland, matriarchy and patriarchy are at loggerheads. People stuck with sky-high expectations, in a relationship, at work, ... are a major theme in our faith. More specifically in the fifth Galatians letter. Do we comply or not? And what about love: does it come unconditionally or with conditions? Being loved for who you really are is the highest good, as Paul also shows us. Yet there is a catch under the grave there too: don't abuse that freedom for pride. Stereotypical Barbie chooses the human way after all. Check it out in yet another fascinating episode of Screensaver!
