Marjorie Taylor Greene: I Was Raised Catholic, but Wicked Bishops Have ‘Driven Me Away’ from the Church
LifeSite News ^ | 5/4/22 | Claire Chretien

‘Mrs. Greene's statement about leaving the Church is as enlightening as it is saddening,’ commented Michael Hichborn, president of the Lepanto Institute.

(LifeSiteNews) – Following criticism of comments she made about the U.S. Catholic bishops, conservative firebrand U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed that she was raised Catholic but left the Church “with great sorrow” when she had kids because she had concerns about the left-wing hierarchy protecting abusive priests.

“With great sorrow, and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, I stopped attending Catholic Mass when I became a mother, because I realized that I could not trust the Church’s leadership to protect my children from pedophiles, and that they harbored monsters even in their own ranks,” the now-evangelical said in a lengthy statement.

The Georgia Republican was responding to the Catholic League’s Bill Donahue, who slammed her for suggesting in an interview with Church Militant’s Michael Voris that “Satan is controlling the Church.”

“The Church is not doing its job. And it’s not adhering to the teachings of Christ,” she added.

“It’s the Church leadership I was referring to when I invoked the Devil,” Greene clarified on Twitter. “Just so we’re clear, bishops, when I said ‘controlled by Satan,’ I wasn’t talking about the Catholic Church. I was talking about you.”

“The Catholic Church must throw out these monsters instead of lecturing the people its own bishops have driven away,” she continued, blasting the U.S. Catholic bishops as “some of the worst in the world” and “scheming bureaucrats in miters.” It was the “bishops’ wickedness” that drove her out of the Church, Greene said, and her own refusal to “submit the spiritual and physical livelihood of my children to these monsters.”

Greene, who is sometimes referred to as “MTG” (à la “AOC”), went on to say what many faithful Catholics who.......

Wonder what the replacement theology-believing cult thinks of:

Rev_3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

——>“And the seventh day adventist cultist calls opinions historical facts.”

FRANCISCO RIBERA (Jesuit)
CARDINAL ROBERT BELLARMINE (Jesuit)
MICHAEL WALPOLE (Jesuit)
MANUEL De LACUNZA (Jesuit)

What they are on record as saying, and that of the Protestant Reformers, is HISTORICAL FACT.

Sounds like what Ken Johnson does every time I hear him on Prophecy Watchers.

Yikes! This thread is still going, with 3,383 posts and counting since 5/13/2022?! And you want me to add to it?

To which I should not have to add anything, esp,. since (as is evident) you like a true cultist confess (as a half-truth), "This may come as a shock to you, but I rarely read anything you post, unless it’s to the point, which it usually isn’t."

May God peradventure grant you "repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." (2 Timothy 2:25)

Hoo boy. Don’t remind him of his hypocrisy and soul-judging. The meltdowns are epic.

I’d like to believe that it’s shame that he deals with by attacking people.

Why did your church founder, Martin Luther, hate Jews and everything associated with them? Does your church teach it’s members to hate Jews?

It is.

The claim of perpetual ownership of a soul by a church or religion is the epitome of control freakness, and the assumption that one is not a practicing Catholic because they have unresolved questions or misunderstandings about Catholicism is the height of hubris.

Every Christian I have ever met who is a former Catholic knows exactly who “owns” them, which is Jesus Christ and Him alone, and knows exactly why he or she left the Catholic religion. There is no misunderstanding among us as to what Catholicism teaches and why we left the church.

It’s a great day to know the grace of God, to be saved, to not be stuck in a false gospel of works and rituals that could never save! ☀️

So it is becoming the Doug Bathcelor thread. When someone bad mouths Ken Johnson as a moron or liar you know the source of the spittle is satanic.

I watched Doug Batchelor a few times, till I found out he was a SADVentist, so I stopped watching him. 😀😃👍

It's a simple yes or no.
 
Someone who claims to 'follow the law' surely wouldn't miss a biggy like this:
 
 
 
Exodus 20:22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
 
yada, yada, yada...
 
Exodus 22:18  Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
 
 

And Jesus said:
 
Matthew 5:18-19
18 for i tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the law until everything is accomplished. 19 so then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; ...
 
 


So; what's it gonna be?

Don't you just hate it when someone answers a question of yours with a question?
