‘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.......

——>Praise God for the OSAS, pre trib rapture. 👍
I think awhile back that was a Jeopardy question under the category of “Top 10 things Satan would say” (before Alex died)
Gee whiz bro, cut me some slack. I will give you credit. You know, if you post more than one sentence, I don’t even bother looking at it. Let me say it again. Praise God for the OSAS pre trib rapture. 👍 If that sticks in your gizzard, all I can say is sorry about that. Deal with it, and stop being in a cult.
That’s funny.
What about all those poor Gentiles who never once learned all the Levitical laws, and were never told to do so, but believed the simple message of God’s precious saving grace? I guess the SDA condemns all of them to Hell with us.
So, the Jews are wrong and your SDA bunch are correct? It’s just a simple question, Phil.
That’s really good, MHG!
“Ken Johnson is either a moron or a liar. Take your pick.”
You know what, Phil? There are boundaries that the Holy Spirit keeps me from crossing. You seem comfortable in condemning people to hell and speaking evil of a man who loves the Lord God Almighty.
What is the Investigative Judgment?
I’m not condemning anyone
But, you and your friends are no one to talk.
“I’m not condemning anyone”
Pardon me. I thought when you said that certain people would not be in Heaven that you meant they’d be in Hell.
“The Jews deduced from Scripture to not eat meat with dairy.”
Actually, that is not true. Read more of that history to find out why. It’s a gross story. The Jewish leaders often made up “God told us to stop doing that” kind of stories to get the people to stop terrible practices.
It is why Jews cannot have mashed potatoes and gravy with their meals and consider the rest of the world unclean because they do.
Ask me if I care. 😀😂🤭 Now, give me some space, so I can try to get ready for my investigative discussion. 🤗
Hey, CodeToad. I thought it was from the prohibition of not seething the kid in its mother’s milk. Is it something else entirely?
P.S. I had never heard of the ‘taters & gravy prohibition. Thanks.
Is the “Investigative Judgment” just exactly what it sounds like it is? That you’re “investigated” by God? Or, is it something else entirely different?
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk....
What’s so hard to understand about this?
And, there are many other CHRISTIAN denominations that obey the Levitical dietary law of clean and unclean. It’s a command from God and has nothing to do with types or shadows (the Ceremonial law). God’s people are SANCTIFIED and therefore forbidden from eating unclean meats. The only way this law has been cancelled is if God is no longer Holy. Is that what you are saying? I hope not.
The Jews don’t have a very good track record. They missed our Savior. Yeah, those Jews.
Yeah, it was about boiling live animals in their mothers’ milk. Gross.
——>Pardon me. I thought when you said that certain people would not be in Heaven that you meant they’d be in Hell.
You would have to take that up with God. He put it in the bible, not me. But, since you can’t sin, I guess you’re good.
P.S. I won’t say the ancient Jews were gross pigs for doing it as I am sure my own ancestors from the time might have done that or worse too. I do claim that the Old Testament of the Bible was written by Jews that added things to it to get the people to stop doing such practices. It is why I believe man wrote much of the Bible and it is not so much a divine intervention. The Jewish leaders of the time used God to scare the people into submission.
The animal would have been killed according to their dietary laws, Code. All blood drained, etc.
What about the potatoes and gravy, Code? I’ve never heard that one before.
I think we are supposed to be investigated by God, but I am not sure. I have no desire to ask any SDAer about it, since I don’t believe a word of it. I believe, if anyone waits till they croak, till they are investigated by God, I think they might be in deep kimchi.
Some of the laws were to make the children of Israel distinct from everyone else. The prohibition of not seething the goat in the mother’s milk probably derived from people doing it just the way you thought: a live kid. It was the cruelty factor that God condemned.
But pagans gonna pagan, ain’t they?
