The actress referred to the controversial phrase of the Pope that caused discomfort among those who prefer to have pets than children.
Colombia News.
Lina Tejeiro, one of the most recognized actresses in Colombia and the one who has the most echo on social networks due to her more than 7 million followers on accounts such as Instagram, questioned Pope Francis for his comment on “dogs” and gathijos, that is, animal adoption to replace the raising of a child.
The Supreme Pontiff during the first general audience of the year in the Paul VI room, regretted that pets sometimes take the place of children in homes:

Today we see a form of selfishness. We see that some do not want to have children. Sometimes they have one, and that’s it, but instead they have dogs and cats that occupy that place “, said Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
In turn, he urged institutions to facilitate adoption processes as long as people meet the requirements:
“The denial of fatherhood and motherhood diminishes us, takes away humanity, civilization becomes older,” he said.
“Having a child is always a risk, be it natural or adopted. But it is more risky not to have it. More risky is denying paternity, denying motherhood, be it real or spiritual, “advised the High Priest.
To these words of the Pope, Tejeiro responded (who does not have children but does have three dogs and who has openly declared on several occasions that he does not want to bring children into the world, at least for now) on his Twitter account with the following question:
«The Pope says that we are selfish who do not have children and prefer to have pets. How many children does the pope have? “Asked the actress.
The Pope says that we are selfish who do not have children and prefer to have pets.

Lina’s voice was joined by those of many Internet users who, in protest at what the Pope said, uploaded photos of their “dogs” and “gathijos” to their social networks.
Very dear to the Pope and everything but not to mess with pets and / or dogs, each one decides what his family is like and how many species make it up. Families support each other on this account, all families without distinction, each one will see how they weave those bonds of love and loyalty. pic.twitter.com/s6vzcpQOXR

Bandita with Gathijos or Perrhijos, so that the Pope does not get angry, if one day you need someone to take care of your pets while you leave the city, I recommend a thousand to @admichi.

It should be noted that one of the reasons why many believe that they do not want to bring children into the world refers to the current social crisis that the world is going through, added to the economic problems.
It is worth noting that those who assume Celibacy (the concept is usually linked to the way of life of religious who choose not to have sexual relations. In the case of Catholic priests, celibacy is an indispensable and unavoidable condition to be ordained ”, have this responsibility.
