BOOK REVIEW: A CUA professor recently wrote a book on the roots of gender ideology
A Catholic University of America professor says that gender ideology, where men and women are told they can become the opposite sex by taking certain chemicals or having body parts removed, is a new form of an old heresy known as Gnostic dualism.
Professor John Grabowski ( pictured ), a moral theologian and ethicist at the D.C.-based Catholic university, recently published a book called “ Unraveling Gender: The Battle Over Sexual Difference .”
Grabowski’s book primarily focuses on the Catholic Church’s teachings on gender. However, anyone interested in the philosophical and historical basis for gender ideology will find this book useful, Catholic or not.
His publisher, TAN Books, shared a copy with The College Fix .
“Gnosticism can absorb and deploy language and ideas from diverse currents of thought, sounding similar to them by using their ideas and jargon,” Grabowski wrote. “This syncretism gives the heresy its chameleon-like quality, making it difficult to recognize in its own right.” The heretical belief began in the first century AD.
The theology professor noted that “dualism lies at the heart of gender ideology” and “bears Gnosticism’s many marks.”
Both are based on the idea of secret knowledge and the “evil” of the body. “Gnosticism explained the universe through metaphysical dualism: spirit is good, and matter is evil and illusory,” Grabowski wrote.“Gender ideology views the body of a gender discordant person as a problem to be overcome,” Grabowski wrote. “The true ‘identity’ of a person is independent of the body and its expression of sexual difference.”He said the language of LGBT activists mirrors that of Gnostics. For example, the idea that someone is “trapped” in the wrong body or their “sex [is] assigned at birth.” Professor says some LGBT people are not out to […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
