One Family’s Story of Conviction and Cost in Post-Christian America
Called Not Canceled is the gripping true story of a family whose unwavering commitment to biblical values led to public persecution, professional devastation, and ultimately, a deeper calling. Caterina shares the raw and courageous account of how her outspoken stance in the cultural and political arena—through media appearances, conservative advocacy, and faith-driven leadership—resulted in an unthinkable backlash. When her husband, a respected and award-winning surgeon was abruptly fired, the family was thrust into the heart of cancel culture.
This powerful testimony exposes the high personal cost of standing for Truth in a society that increasingly punishes dissent. Called Not Canceled is more than a memoir—it's a rallying cry for those who refuse to be silent in the face of intimidation. Through heartbreak and resilience, Caterina’s story encourages others to remain faithful, courageous, and unashamed in a culture desperate to silence them.

I’ve known Caterina & Dr. Tori for 25 years, and they’ve always lived out their faith through generosity and love. Caterina learned these values early while serving at an inner-city Gospel Rescue Mission, where we became dear friends. For two decades, they supported our home and even opened their vacation home for inner-city families to experience God’s love. Caterina and Dr. Tori go out of their way to love others, raising their children the same way. Above all, Caterina is like a sister to me, and I love her dearly.

Persecution is not for an exclusive club of Christians. The 21st century American culture has marginalized and targeted those living out their Christian values. Caterina and Dr. Tori's story of standing for their Godly values despite loss of job, reputation, relationships and finances is an encouragement to all believers.

I’m blessed to call Dr. Tori and Caterina friends and have witnessed their kindness for over 20 years. They’ve served all people with love, especially the less fortunate, never mistreating anyone. It was heartbreaking to see them slandered for standing by their faith and values. Christian persecution is rising—radicals seek to silence those who uphold freedom and biblical truth. Will you stand firm and speak up before it’s too late?

Dr. Tori and his wife, Caterina, are courageous individuals. Dr. Tori, a respected surgeon, and Caterina, a successful author, have raised three strong, accomplished daughters. I’ve been friends with this family since Dr. Tori's days at Temple Medical School. Though targeted by anti-God activists, they persevered, and God turned adversity into victory. Today, they are thriving, and I was honored to stand with them. All glory to God.

Caterina's Story
Caterina is a homeschooling mother, conservative Christian radio host, and passionate advocate for the voiceless — the unborn, the marginalized, and those whose convictions have made them targets in an increasingly hostile cultural climate.
For years, God used Caterina's voice on National News Outlets and Christian radio to speak truth boldly and unapologetically into the public square. She championed the sanctity of life, biblical marriage, and the God-given design of male and female at a time when doing so was becoming not merely unpopular — but dangerous.
In 2020, her family paid an extraordinary price for that faithfulness.
The enemies of religious liberty rallied their forces and came for everything. Her husband, Dr. Luca, a beloved senior partner and award-winning orthopedic surgeon with twelve years of distinguished service, was unjustly terminated — not for anything he had done, but for what his wife believed. In a matter of weeks, their reputation, their safety, their finances, and the life they had carefully and faithfully built were stripped away by those determined to silence a woman who refused to stop speaking truth.
What followed were three of the hardest years of their lives.
But God.
Faithful in every valley. Present in every courtroom. Provider in every desert season. He restored what the locusts had eaten and opened a door in the South when every door in the North had been slammed shut.
Called, Not Canceled is Caterina's testimony — raw, redemptive, and urgently needed for such a time as this.
Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Tori
Dr. Tori completed his medical training at a high-volume university hospital in an inner-city setting, where he gained extensive experience managing complex and diverse orthopedic cases. He went on to complete a prestigious fellowship at one of the top-ranked orthopedic surgery programs in the country, further refining his expertise in advanced surgical techniques.
Graduating in the top 1% of his class and scoring in the top 1% nationally on his board examinations, Dr. Tori has demonstrated exceptional academic achievement alongside rigorous clinical training. His work reflects a commitment to precision, innovation, and excellence in orthopedic care. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Tori has been involved in charitable organizations and has led multiple medical mission trips to Haiti.
Dr. Tori is an award-winning surgeon who suddenly found himself at the center of cancel culture—not for something he said, but simply for being married to Caterina who publicly defended biblical values. If he can be canceled by association, what does that mean for the rest of us? Could it happen to you?
