‘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.......

——>Dunno, and I’ve never told anyone to break His commandments.
Same difference telling people they were nailed to the cross and Christians aren’t responsible for them. You certainly are teaching others to break God’s commandments.
Matthew 5:19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven...
That’s you, Claire.
Ask any sailor what happens if he gets one degree off course in his journey across a sea.
No human is above the bible, and that includes EGW.
Ya gonna answer the question or not?
Why do you hate God’s law so much?
What question? And BTW, start answering some of mine.
Well, who in your organization thought it up, lawed it up, wrote it up, or otherwise distributed to the great congregation of Miss Ellen G. White/SDA? Can you not answer this very basic and easy question about the “church” you’re a 4th generation member of? Who decided to add the 11th Commandment of “Thou shalt not eat pork?”
Wow, you could have written this...

The subject of God’s law is controversial among the churches that call themselves Christian. In the professing Christian world, there is much confusion and division about God’s law. Some churches reject the law wholesale, while others reject portions of it. Here are some arguments people use to say the law is irrelevant today:
Jesus fulfilled the law so we don’t have to keep it.
The law was only for ancient Israel.
The law is only for Jews today.
The law was only for those under the Old Covenant.
The law is not for the present dispensation.
The law is a burden Christ came to free us from.
The law brings a curse on those who try to keep it.
Christ was the “end” of the law.
Trying to keep the law is legalistic.
The law is totally unrelated to salvation.
We are saved by grace alone and don’t need the law.
Love, not law, is all we need.
I’ve never once told anyone to break His commandments. You just dream crap up and decide it’s real in your own head and then foolishly post it.
Have you sold all that you have and given it to the poor?
If not, why not? Who decided you should/shouldn’t keep this command?
——>Who decided to add the 11th Commandment of “Thou shalt not eat pork?”
Same one who told Paul this:
Galatians 5:19-27 (KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
And this:
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
And this:
Revelation 21:
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
That command was specifically given to the rich, young ruler, who didn’t want to give up his money. Jesus read his heart.
I don’t see “pork” in any of that.
You sure your org didn’t make a mistake, Phil?
Oh, right. So that command is thrown out, too. Convenient “law keeping” y’all got going on.
Take comfort in the fact that every cult does the same picking and choosing of what to follow or not in God’s word.
You should learn how to rightly divide the word of God. Sadly, you are lacking in that department.
Catholics have their Mary and you have your Ellen.
They have the Nine Commandments and you all have the Eleven Commandments.
Catholicism is works-based salvation, and so is the organization of the SDA.
I think I’m beginning to see a pattern, Phil.
I just had a nice helping of lechon baboy. 😀👍
Lucky you! I was just thinking this morning about putting a pork roast on the smoker.
Paul wrote for us: Colossians 2:14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
The SDA cultist cannoty rightly divide the Word so the spirit within it tells him to accuse soemone else of not dividing the Word correctly. Projection is not showing movies.
