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.......

“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.”

You serious?

Since you lay claim to Spiritual Israel, what are you doing trying to keep the law which is of the flesh? Which one are you, again? Spiritual Israel or the one of the flesh indebted to the law?

Was Joseph (in Egypt) a Jew? He certainly knew that Adultery was a “great wickedness, and sin against God”

How did he know that if the “law” was given to the “Jews” 400+ years later?

Are you kidding me? He was of the patriarchal lineage, Phil. Please stop moving the goal posts. This is the 2nd time I have had to ask you, and I neglected to ask in several other instances where I should have. You jump to something else every time proof is put in front of you that you’re in a cult.

It’s a separate law that we are ALSO required to keep.

All inclusive here:

Hebrews 8:

10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

look at all the things Paul says will keep you out of heaven. Include those. Add the one’s that John talks about in Revelation. Include those. All the ones that Jesus Christ tells us to do/not do. Include those. Etc...

Jesus was a Jew who came for them. Of course He kept the Law. He was and is a Jew. A real One.

But where does the SDA come up with their 11 Commandments? The 10 of God plus their one prohibiting pork? How did that come about? Much like the above where they just changed what they didn’t like into something more fitting for their ... organization?

I don’t know SC, maybe that’s the one that says, thou shalt believe in the investigative judgment, even if it’s false doctrine. 🤭😀🤗😂😃😆👍
