Center
Primary
The film's central thesis critiques the hierarchical power and dogmatism of the Catholic Church, advocating for a direct, personal, and inclusive spiritual experience over institutional control, which aligns with left-leaning anti-authoritarian values.
The movie features traditional casting with no apparent intentional race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative focuses on institutional critique within the Catholic Church, rather than explicitly addressing or critiquing traditional identities or promoting DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays the institutional Catholic Church as corrupt, power-hungry, and willing to suppress spiritual truth (the Gospel of Thomas) and commit violence to maintain its authority. While individual characters like Father Andrew are sympathetic, the overarching narrative condemns the Church's actions and dogma.
