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.......

Ken is a treasure for sure. Through him ‘the old one speak from the dust’. Look at what the scoffers are missing!

I won’t pretend to know what happens if they land on Kolob instead of Bolok and have no magic underpants.

Oh yes, the mormon star base Kolob, with no magic underwear. One of life’s embarrassing moments. 😀😂
You mentioned another religion, another Jesus. I have said it a million times, it’s not enough to have faith in Jesus. We must have faith in the RIGHT Jesus. The Jesus of SDA, RCC, LDS, JWs, ROP, have a false Jesus. They are up a creek.
By the way, I have no desire to ask SDA, but do they really not eat pork? I am glad I am not SDA, cuz I really like lechon baboy. 😃😀

So what is the actual interpretation of the verse in Matthew?

There is really nothing new under the sun:

"Did GOD really say..." Genesis 3

The words ARE very clear; aren't they!!

Then Jesus declared, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

And provable to; for no Catholic has EVER starved to death or died of thirst.

Turkey for Thanksgiving Day and ham for Christmas dinner.

I get a really nice kosher ham from the deli each year.

My wife used to have a pig farm, and probably next year, will have one again. We used to get a nice, fat, two month old male pig. About an hour after the pig is slaughtered, it’s on a spit, roasting over an open fire. You should see these people, fighting over the glazed skin of the pig. It’s comical. 😀🤗 They like the stomach and intestines too. Can’t say as I do. 👎 By the way, occasionally, we get a female pig who doesn’t want to take care of her piglets. Within hours, that female pig, is roasting over an open fire too. 👍

“Look at what the scoffers are missing!”

Well, you posted it for them to watch, and I’m sure one will watch it because he will believe he’ll have more mud to sling against our dear brother.

Brother Ken is a gift. He’s allowed himself to be fully used by God and his works show it.

Also, Christians are able to easily identify other Christians. Ken Johnson is a Christian, as you and I and many others already know.

Many scriptures have been given you proving that there is now no dietary restrictions. You, as you’ve been taught as a 4th-generation SDA, attempt to explain away every one of them or outright ignore them.

The Body of Christ has tried time and time again to show you the truth, and you reject it.

To boot, you have no problem mocking men of God.

Your attempts to explain away your mocking of the Body of Christ are going to be rough going on your day of your Investigative Judgment.

Glad I’m not in your shoes, Phil. I can smell them burning from here.

I’ve had some before cooked that way. Everybody trying to have a little party but you know what they’re thinking, “When?” LOL. Certainly no need for BBQ sauce, is there?

P.S., Mark. This might give your wife a chuckle.

I came across an old cookbook. One night my brother was over and we had one heck of a good time reading it.

Started off, literally, teaching you how to boil water. Next was how to fry an egg.

But later, it taught how to clean the teeth of a dead pig. Kid you not.

We laughed for a good couple of hours over things we read in it, but I’m sure the people during WW1 or WW2 (I forget which) were glad that it was printed during their time. Matter of fact, might not be too long before we all wish we had a copy!

Not much need. They put tons of spices in it. 😀

Yeah, I watched it. The best part of the whole video was when the introduction guy was talking about all the books that Ken creates that are to the point. Then he talks about how Ken writes about the “Ancient Church Fathers” (ECF).

Funny. Get it??? Ken claims that the Restrainer of the Antichrist is the Holy Spirit, AND YET EVERY ECF ON RECORD SAYS IT’S NOT. What a riot.

Maybe MHG can pull up a KJ video where Ken admits that all the ECF’s who commented on the subject, named Pagan Rome as the Restrainer? I doubt it. That would end Ken’s career as a Prophecy Watchers stooge and guest lecturer.

KJ is a LIAR BY OMISSION. What a coward. Definitely intellectually dishonest. The rest of the video was his normal GIBBERISH.
