Abstract

In my wide-ranging 8,100-word review essay "Walter Ong's 1981 Book, Judith Butler's 2024 Book, and the Vatican's 2024 Declaration on Gender Theory," I highlight (1) the American Jesuit Walter Ong's 1981 book Fighting for Life: Contest, Sexuality [Gender], and Consciousness (Cornell University Press), the expanded version of Ong's 1979 Messenger Lectures at Cornell University; (2) Berkeley's leftist Judith Butler's new 2024 book Who's Afraid of Gender? (Farrar, Straus and Giroux); and (3) the Vatican's new 2024 Declaration of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith titled "Dignatis Infinita; on Human Dignity." In addition, I highlight the NCR Vatican correspondent Christopher White's NCR news report about the new Vatican document.
