According to her, she was born and raised in the Catholic Church, received all its sacraments, and remains committed to its teachings, adding that her identity within the faith remains unchanged.

In her reaction, she questioned the appropriateness of a priest engaging in a TikTok game alongside a woman she described as being immodestly dressed.

She contrasted the behaviour with her expectations of religious leaders, stating that clergy should maintain standards aligned with their spiritual responsibilities.

She further argued that social media platforms should be used primarily to spread Christian teachings and encourage faith-based values, rather than participating in trending entertainment content.

Her comments have since generated debate online, with users weighing in on the evolving role of religious leaders in the digital space and how they engage with modern platforms.
