‘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.

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.”

You played with that which may damn
‘Cause you ate oysters or ham
Don’t be a nutter
By eating butter
And never eat biscuits with jam!

Ellen G White had a really hot head
I keep hearing about it on this thread
She took a path
That led to wrath
And did something quite evil instead.

The point is that it’s NOT in the Bible. The point is she was a liar and deceiver.

Do you believe she was shown a vision regarding all the sicknesses and diseases and misshapen heads, etc., etc., etc., were caused by masturbation?

Do you forbid feather pillows, too?
