A.K.A., Barbie & The Theology of the Body
Catholics and Conservatives are trashing the movie Barbie and telling people to not see it, but should an excellent opportunity to take themes from the movie and attempt to evangelize/catechize the masses of fanatical fans of this current cinema phenomenon be passed up? We think not! Join Fr. Paul Houlis, Emily Appledorn, and Susan Godeaux for a Holy Mess of a movie review of Barbie as seen through the lens of the Theology of the Body.
CAUTION, there will be spoilers!!!
Themes discussed: What Am I Made For? Creator & Creature. Perfectionism. Beauty. Barbie/Ken & Adam/Eve. “The Real World” & Historical/Fallen Man. Wanting to be seen, loved, and desired. Body Image. Not feeling “enough.” Objectivity & Lust. Gender and Genitals. Patriarchy and Feminism. The reality of dying, and sooooooo much more!
Plus, Fr. Paul shares personal stories of his past that were triggered by watching and talking about the film.
RESOURCE: As per Emily’s pitch at the end of episode, an excellent source for women and couples struggling with infertility: https://popepaulvi.com/?fbclid=IwAR0EozXi2YhXEgr2h79j3ZxFeJN92G76E5a3mqLP_cGC7lKO10EVkHNvBoE_aem_AaZrABH_NADyxfIVcRaUNy6ZoiSLWSLuhb-a253iX4sOOAcjqqRW-7_yxIk3VDNrtLs
