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.......

Clean meats were SANCTIFIED. Unclean meats were not. That’s what the bible says.

God’s people. Do you belong to God?

I’m Israel. Obviously, you are not.

You sure don’t like to/won’t admit that God gave the law to His Chosen People, the Jews.

Kind of tears down that whole cult of yours to admit it, doesn’t it?

——>When did God give the law of unclean meats to the Gentiles? When, Phil?

Exactly 3.5 years after Christ’s death, the Jews finally, once and for all, rejected Jesus Christ, and when the gentiles began to be grafted into the vine and share in the “promises”.

God’s people keep His commandments (but not you). Ergo, those claiming to be God’s people, but not keeping His commandments, are not His people.

Noah and Abraham weren’t Jews.

That is a lie. God gave the Law to the Jewish people.

Never said they were, Phil.

You see the way your org changed the Bible to say what it wanted, and yet you post it proudly. Better wake up to what a cult does, Phil.

Maybe you haven’t heard...Galatians 3:28 28There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

God’s people, since the creation of the earth, are expected to keep His law (commandments). Saying or doing otherwise is LAWLESSNESS.

Don’t move the goal post now, Phil. You were in Leviticus.

Genesis 26:5Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

IT WAS KNOWN AND ABRAHAM KEPT IT.

Genesis 7:
1And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

The distinction of clean and unclean was known to NOAH.

And this post and the one before has what to do with your trying to keep the laws in Leviticus given to the Jews? Your point?

There’s nothing in you that says, “Wait a second. That’s the word of Almighty God. You have no right to change His word.” Nothing stirs in you when you see that, Phil?

Rightio. Now, why are you trying to be a Jew and keep the Law that God gave specifically to them?

More like restating His law to a group of people that had no idea who He was or what His law was. God started from square one. The Law was clearly stated by God and codified by Moses/Israel. It’s the same law that Abraham kept.

But, you are under no obligation to keep God’s law if you don’t claim to be one of his chosen. You are excused.

So, which law exactly are we NOT under?

It was known BEFORE the Jews (Abraham, Noah, etc...). But after 400 years of captivity, everyone forgot. It was therefore “given” to them, God’s people.

Check it:

Gal 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Gal 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Gal 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Do you comprehend it?
