Kathryn, who was an Iglesia ni Cristo member, got negative comments from some netizens who possibly are Iglesia ni Cristo members like Kathryn. According to them, what Kathryn and her family did was against their doctrine.
"Sana kc d kn lng nag post ng pics..kung gusto nyo mag celebraate.para d k nausig...tas s likod nyo pa ang laking christmas tree s loob ng bhay nyo...alm u nmn bawal..sna sinrili nyo n lnb pag cecelebrate..pra kcng lantaran mong pinapakita ang alm mong paglabag sa atin..." commented one netizen.
Iglesia ni Cristo members do not celebrate Christmas, a Pagan-associated tradition. According to them, Jesus Christ being born on December 25 was just a myth and that the Holy Scriptures does not specify the date of the Lord's birth.
Meanwhile, fans and followers of Kathryn defended the actress.
"Tignan mo mga tao ngayon MAPAGHUSGA talaga hahahys!! She just want to be happy. People should never judge her because she just really want to spent time with her family. Hindi ba nila gets yan? Duhh!! Shut up haters!!" posted one fan.
