A sermon by priest Krunoslav Karas has gained significant attention on social media, amassing over half a million views. In the video, published by the Studentski katolički centar Slavonski Brod, Karas advises women against entering marriage without being educated, employed, and financially independent.

Karas stated that a woman should not be dependent on a man, arguing that the dynamic where a man rules and a woman simply listens is not God’s will. He acknowledged that his views might be labeled as feminist, stating, “Pa i jesam u jednu ruku, da” (Well, in one hand, yes).

The video, which was also shared by singer Severina, has sparked diverse reactions. Many commenters praised his realistic approach to women's empowerment, while others disagreed, noting that some women choose to stay at home to raise children by their own choice.
