‘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.......

Well, it is a command of God, that He specifically says will keep you out of heaven. Here’s some others that you keep avoiding...
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.
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.
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.
Oh snap, I forgot, YOU CAN’T SIN, so none of this applies to YOU. Sorry, my bad. (Not)
“16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:”
Why do you disobey? Who told the SDA to make their 11th Commandment of “Thou shalt not eat pork?”
You’ve got to know or else you’re just blindly following behind a bunch of others as a 4th-generation SDAer.
You’re being the liar again, Phil. You have no idea how I or anyone else here lives life. I don’t need to be told to not commit adultery, but I understand that some need to be told to not bump their own sister. If the Holy Spirit lives in you, then you can try all you want to enjoy sin but it’s not going to happen. Anyone who’s been saved and born again can tell you that.
——>Ellen’s “Thou shalt not eat pork” commandment?
That’s actually God’s commandment.
“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.”
I keep hoping, against all evidence to the contrary, that you’ll work out when and where to apply this one verse, but you just keep blindly posting your twisted false doctrine. Good luck.
Not to the church, it isn’t. Period.
Read and understand the plain meaning of the texts of the New Testament, Phil. It’s not that hard.
Who tacked it on to the 10 Commandments? Ellen herself or someone else? Do you even know? Does it not bother you a little that you have Ellen’s Eleven Commandments instead of the Ten Commandments of God?
Just sayin’, Phil ... were it me, I’d have already found out who dared to twist God’s word and add an eleventh commandment. I know it would bother me enough so that I’d have found out by now.
——>I don’t need to be told to not commit adultery...
But if you did it, it wouldn’t matter anyway, BECAUSE YOU CAN’T SIN. BORN AGAINERS CAN’T SIN. RAVI COULDN’T SIN. (fleshy body or whatever) You are already judged and sealed at the moment of Grace. Everything else is academic. Just waiting to see all of your buddies in the clouds.
See my point?
Where’s “eating pork” in all of what you posted, Phil? Point it out to me, please.
——>Good luck.
Luck has nothing to do with salvation. Grace, THEN obedience, does.
Those who reject God’s commandments will not be in heaven. Nothing you can say will ever change that.
Calm down, lil buddy.
You just keep missing it when everyone around you keeps telling you that the spirit within them cannot sin because it’s the Holy Spirit of God. Why not find out why you can’t understand it? Find out about those Eleven Ellen Commandments and you may open your eyes to some truth. Until then, I’m afraid you will never be able to understand what we are all telling you over and over and over again.
If, as a 4th-generation SDA, you don’t know what a struggle with the flesh is, you may just want to check yourself, Phil. You don’t have a struggle with your flesh, Phil?
Never had moments where your flesh wants to do one thing but the Spirit within wants to do another?
Act 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Act 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Where do these commands forbid the eating of pork, Phil? Did God’s Holy Ghost forget to add it?
What you’re really displaying is that you have no clue about the Holy Ghost living within a person, Phil. That is why you’re going about to “establish your own righteousness.”
Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
Rom 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
In my best Sylvester Stallone/Dredd accent, “I knew you’d say that.” 😀👍🤔
——>Where’s “eating pork” in all of what you posted, Phil? Point it out to me, please.
As God’s people, we are SANCTIFIED. We are set apart for Holy use. We are to treat our bodies as the Temple of God. Leviticus 11 makes that point ABSOLUTELY clear. Peter reminds us is 1 Peter 1:
14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Peter is quoting from Leviticus 11. Even you should be able to understand that.
Eating unclean meat is an ABOMINATION unto the Lord. It makes you DEFILED (as does homosexuality, etc...)
Rev 21:
8But 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.
27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
In other and shorter words, it’s not there.
Phil.
You poor thing.
You have no clue as to what the church is, and apparently not a clue as to how read plain texts.
Someone has you reading with their glasses.
Greeting
“1Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1Pe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”
To whom was Peter sent and to whom do you think Peter is writing in the above text?
