Emily Torres shares her powerful conversion story, from growing up in a nominal protestant home to discovering the truth of the Catholic faith as a teenager. But after enrolling at a prominent Catholic university that claims to seek God in all things, Emily instead encountered an environment that promoted an anti-Catholic agenda:

From Free Condom Fridays held outside the campus chapel, pro-abortion protests, drag shows mocking religious life, trigger warnings on Scripture, and professors pushing gender ideology, Emily faced a flood of scandal, hostility, and confusion.

Hear how her commitment to truth led her to the Cardinal Newman Society and deepened her faith in the midst of adversity. This is a powerful testimony of courage, conviction, and the urgent need for faithful Catholic education.
