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 […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
