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.......

Apparently it did on Miss Ellen, for she took it off the list of proper things to consume ... along with preserves, which I really have a problem with. Don’t touch my coffee or my preserves!

Oh, yeah ... and butter, too:

“You place upon your table butter, eggs, and meat, and your children partake of them. They are fed with the very things that will excite their animal passions, and then you come to meeting and ask God to bless and save your children. How high do your prayers go?” (Testimonies, Vol. 2, p. 362)

I want my coffee, yeast biscuits, butter and preserves. She just crossed a line here that is absolutely unacceptable. And eggs? I knew that would be included before I ever got to it!

It’s beginning to appear that Miss Ellen was turned on by almost every food ... and yet, she was a very “hefty” woman. Don’t know how because it looks like her diet consisted of grass, rice and air.

This is true, AMPU. But they have to ingest a heckuva lot every day to get that way. I can’t see eating 5 bowls of rice and a cup of seaweed every day. I don’t think she stuck to her own advice, and would bet she enjoyed bacon like we do.

Well, we already know she didn’t obey her own commands for pork and oysters, so.

Mmm hmm. With all the left over money her parishioners gained by not buying meat, etc., they were probably able to tithe well which would mean she had more at her disposal for groceries. Lucky her.

Yup. And apparently we outsiders know more about her than the members of the SDA organization. At least one of them anyway.

We snored away peacefully for all of last night
Good wishes from Elsie and SC, came forthright
We slept very well,
Till the alarm bell
Woke us, with not a thought of Ellen in our sight.

A woman once sat in her bucket
A big plate of oysters she sucked at…
When the pork chops were done
She had lots of fun
Telling Falseworld to only eat buckwheat.

🤗☀️🥓

I asked would your prophetess approve.

You can’t ask her. That would be necromancy. 🤗

There once was a false cult prophetess

Who fooled her adoring duped followers

She told them to leave off with meat

And never the shellfish to eat

But ate all she could of the porkifest.

If that’s all true (it’s not) every person on earth, would be in an asylum. 😂
