SUMMARY:Something Wicked
DESCRIPTION:The culture wars have raged for decades\, but with seemingly little success. Christians are losing the cultural battle for family\, life\, and faith. But why? \nThe CIC invites you to join Dr. Carrie Gress here on Wednesday\, January 21\, 2026 at 6:00 PM for the launch of her newest book\, Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity.  \nSomething Wicked is Dr. Gress’ riveting look at the underbelly of feminism\, Carrie Gress explains why pro-life and pro-family efforts have failed to deliver. Feminism has quietly captured the minds and hearts of women by mimicking aspects of Christianity. Through its own “commandments\,” “virtues\,” “evangelization\,” and even “a sacrament\,” feminism has become an exceedingly powerful megachurch. \nThis program is co-sponsored by the Institute for Human Ecology (IHE) at The Catholic University of America\, and is available to attend either in-person and virtually through the livestream. \nThe book will be available for purchase at the CIC bookstore. \nJanuary 21st Program Schedule: \n\n5:45 PM: Doors open for Registrant check-in\n6:00 PM: Presentation by Carrie Gress – this portion of the evening will be offered both in-person and virtually via a livestream\n7:00 PM: Booksigning with Dr. Gress and a light happy hour\n8:00 PM: Evening concludes\n\nAbout the book: \nSomething Wicked examines that Christians have targeted the specific products of the feminist ideology\, such as abortion and transgenderism\, and have missed the bigger picture of how feminism’s shadow church has captured the psyche of Western women. \nFeminism is all too often perceived\, even among Christians\, as something virtuous that affords women true equality and freedom. Dr. Gress overturns this misconception\, smashing the idol of feminism and exposing its deeply anti-Christian origins. \nDrawing from history\, psychology\, philosophy\, culture\, and common sense\, Dr. Gress explains: \n\nHow early feminists opposed traditional Christianity and espoused occultic practices\nSix ways feminism has become its own religion that mimics the Christian faith\nWhy the feminist idol of women’s autonomy can never lead to happiness\nHow the prioritization of masculine virtues devalued the vital gifts of women\nWhat happens when Christians try to blend their faith with feminism\nWhy the restless search for identity by many adrift in culture is really a grasping for home\nThe vital role that men and the patriarchy play in meeting the needs of all of society\n\nDr. Gress lays out solutions to how womanhood can be viewed afresh\, without feminism’s menace\, healing the ever-growing rift between the sexes\, reconnecting the essential bond of empathy between mother and child\, and restoring God to his rightful place in the hearts of all women.
