As a Roman Catholic lawyer and a member of the cultural center Centro Dom Bosco, in 2017 she staged an action against the humorous Porta dos Fundos, by virtue of its video parodying the sky in Catholicism. The process was extinguished without examination of the merits in the following year, due to the lack of payment of procedural costs.

Political Positions

Abortion

Gender and sexual minorities

On June 12, 2020, Chris Tonietto posted on Facebook: "Pedophilia relates more specifically to the so-called 'gender theory' and its application in school settings. Explicitly defended by some exponents of the LGBT movement, pedophilia is visibly entering the country as a factor in the dissolution of trust in family relationships and moral corruption of an entire generation of children exposed to an abominable eroticization from their earliest childhood."
