Can Catholics Trust Greta Gerwig With Narnia?

Fr. Patrick and Fr. Gregory Pine discussed filmmaker Greta Gerwig's work through a Catholic lens in a recent episode of the Godsplaining podcast. The discussion examined how Gerwig's films, including Barbie, Lady Bird, and Little Women, portray themes of identity, love, relationships, and the human condition.

The friars analyzed Gerwig's ability to depict life with honesty and curiosity, specifically noting the role of faith and Catholic education in Lady Bird and the theme of homecoming in her storytelling. They also explored how her approach to character development might influence her upcoming adaptation of C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.
