Episode 40: She Protested a Drag Show at a Catholic College—What Happened Next Will Stun You

In Part 2 of Emily Torres’s testimony, she continues her story of standing for truth at a Catholic university that seems to have abandoned its identity. From confronting radical gender ideology to being verbally harassed for defending the Church’s teaching on marriage and pro-life issues, Emily increasingly found herself isolated on campus.

Despite threats, public ridicule, and faculty pushing blasphemous theology, Emily refused to back down. She organized protests and reported blatant anti-Catholic behavior to college administrators, only to be met with silence.
Now a Catholic high school teacher and soon joining Catholic Answers, Emily shares the lessons she’s learned and offers wisdom for students and parents navigating today’s culture wars.

Her witness is a reminder that even in darkness, grace sustains, and truth demands courage.

It also should provoke a sense of urgency. Every Catholic family needs to know about The Newman Guide. It is the antidote to the radical ideologies lurking in our educational institutions.
