‘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.......

Elsie is probably still snoozing. 😂 Do you like our Limericks? We have been at it for years.
I love them, Mark. You two are really talented in writing them. No joke. Thanks for all the laughs!
Only minutes before I conjure up a Limerick, I have no idea what I will write. I just do it. I can’t really explain it. 👍😀
I can see how that would be quite similar.
Possibly like packing boxes into the Amazon truck for delivery.
You gots brains inside of that melon?
Then refuse the stuff that she’s sellin’!
Just trust in the Lord,
Let Him reign in your gourd.
Too much fish and you’ll really be smellin’!
‘Twas my goal.
When thinking about eating an oyster,
Want you dry ones or some that are moister?
Unless you’re a nun,
Stay away from there, son.
No need for you to self-cloister.
When you wrote this I still was in bed,
Thoughts of Ellen long gone from my head.
‘Tis time to get up!
And some coffee to sup,
But I really want to lie there instead.
My very pathetic attempt:
Don’t slurp oysters or eat any ham
No spicy foods nor any jam
You’ll end up in bed
With a very hot head
Touching what will get you damned
(I think I will leave it to you pros.)
That’s great, Elsie!
Day shift has arrived.
You night shift folk may now stand down.
You snuck in an ‘ed’ on that last line.
The last line is usually the hardest for me.
Continous idea throughout.
Good attempt!!
You are right. I tried too many times to re-write it and didn’t notice the “ed” still on the end.
If the first limerick line ends in two words,
Like Green Gables, red roses, or bluebirds.
Then you’ll grunt and you’ll cry,
And think you will die -
(Dang! Why did I start this???)
Your last line is GREAT!
Perhaps use it as the first line in a new one.
LOL. I hate to admit that I’m trying hard to come up with a new last line! This gets addictive.
😀👍 pretty good to start.
Y’all are too good at this, Mark!
I’m afraid that now I’m going to be stuck with my mind trying to come up with one all day.
