‘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.......

That is grotesque. I almost tossed my cookies over that. 👎
Another ridiculous notion of the SDA. You either are or you aren’t, just like you are or aren’t pregnant, no in between.
I hear ya. I already knew it but my coffee is sloshing from side to side in my stomach.
LOL. I never quite thought of it, as being PG, but yes, there is no middle ground.
“What about the potatoes and gravy, Code? I’ve never heard that one before.”
No kidding. Just a quick google search: “The laws of Kashrut prescribe the separation of meat and milk. That means that either meat or dairy can be served in one meal, never both. Mashed potatoes, for example, served with steak are fine as long as they are dairy-free.”
——>What about all those poor Gentiles who never once learned all the Levitical laws, and were never told to do so...
No doubt that there were many Gentiles over the last 2000 years unaware of many things, dietary laws included. But, that doesn’t include you, now does it? You are aware but choose not to obey.
Romans 2:
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
LOL. Madame, you are in rare form tonight. Well, it’s night here, 8:15 PM, Wednesday night. 😀👍
Sorry, Code! It dawned on me a split second after I hit “send” that dairy is usually added to mashed potatoes.
What’s the current temp there, Mark?
“16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.”
The last two words are very, very important, Phil. If you understood them, you wouldn’t twist the scriptures as you do.
P.S. It’s where you’re missing the boat.
Sincerely,

No problemo. I am always surprised by Jewish customs. There are hundreds and hundreds of them. I am surprised they can function.
According to my gospel. Some have understood this to mean that Paul was so confident of the truth of his message that he could here assert that his gospel would be the standard in the final judgment (see 1 Cor. 15:1; Gal. 1:6–9). However, Paul may have simply meant that the fact noted, namely, that not only will men be judged, but they will be judged by Jesus Christ, is set forth in the gospel. Coming judgment is clearly taught in the OT (Dan. 7:9–12, 26, 27). But one of the distinctive teachings of the gospel is that He who lived and died to save men is also to judge them (2 Cor. 5:10).
SDA Bible Commentary
“Some have understood this to mean ...”
“Paul may have simply meant ...”
Riiiiight. LOL
(Christ Jesus does not judge His own body. I am IN Christ Jesus. You really think He’s going to put Himself on trial?)
SAD. Bible Commentary Placemarker
If I used that commentary, I’d be sad too!
☹️
“SDA Bible Commentary” Ok. See, I’m not SDA. I thought you knew that already.
What you would find more profitable is to read the Bible for yourself and discover what “[Paul’s] gospel” is, and then believe it.
You got that right, AMPU.
All I’ve seen from the SAD Commentary so far is how the Bible doesn’t really mean what it really states.
If was 89° today but is 78° now, at 9:10 PM.
“The Bible only means what Ellen says it means.”™️
If I used that SDA commentary, I think I would be tempted to off myself. 🤭😀
