    Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity (Guest: Dr. Carrie Gress)

    Fr. Mark welcomes Catholic author and speaker Carrie Gress to discuss her powerful new book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity. In this timely conversation, Carrie explains why the feminist movement, rooted in Marxism, envy, contempt for men, and radical autonomy, is fundamentally incompatible with Christian anthropology. She contrasts it with John Paul II's vision of women, complementarity, fruitfulness, and authentic femininity grounded in Scripture and the dignity of the human person. From the historical roots of feminism and its quasi-religious structure to the importance of motherhood, beauty, spiritual maternity, and the genius of women as life-givers, this episode offers clarity and hope for rebuilding a culture that honors the true gifts of men and women. A must-listen for anyone navigating today's gender debates, marriage, family, and the role of women in the Church and world.
