‘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.......

Like Nebuchadnezzar?
😀🤭🤔😆
“Sip no more the beverage of China;
‘Cause the stuff from Malaysia’s much finea.
It would appear to me, we have created several monsters. 🤭😀
A half a limerick?
Too long for a hiaku.
But even he finally came to his senses.
👏👏👏
Yes, Nebuchadnezzar finally did come to his senses.I don’t think Ellen G ever did.
Now, judging from what Nebuchadnezzar said, about God, leads me to believe, he might have passed the investigative discovery. We simply don’t know for sure,but maybe Nebuchadnezzar, might be another one, who will rise, along with the men of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba, in judgment over this generation, and condemn it. Can you imagine, Nebuchadnezzar condemning cult members, like SDA. 🤔
Looks like I have the house to myself right now. 😀😂😁🤭🤗😆 while the rest of you are snoring away peacefully.
Notice she allows chocolate.
Isn’t that like a woman?
And of course, she didn’t know that chocolate also has caffeine in it.
Which, if this were from God, she would have forbidden as well.
She’s just another control freak who feels the need to make others live the way she wants them to and got more mileage out of it by adding Jesus as a window dressing.
1 Timothy 4:1-5 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
One of the signs of false teachers is requiring abstinence of food.
Funny about that……
Surprised at the responses on this thread… such bs in all directions. How about hold and keep to your faith and let God judge? Take a deep breath and live your own life.
You mean like no meat on Friday, only fish? I wonder if they still do that?
That, my friend, is how we got into the awful situation we’re in today.
We need to contend for the faith in the public sphere, both for our neighbors’ sake and our own.
If nothing else, EGW proves Scripture correct yet again.
But not in the way SDAs would like.
“How about hold and keep to your faith and let God judge?”
Because all roads/faiths DON’T lead to Heaven.
Because keeping to an apostate faith, no matter how strongly you do it, is dangerous.
God already judged.
“She’s just another control freak who feels the need to make others live the way she wants them to and got more mileage out of it by adding Jesus as a window dressing.”
So true, Metmom. She sounds like she would have been a barrel of fun.
Today a doc would institutionalize her for having so many thoughts and visions about the no-no she mentions over and over and over again. I can’t imagine what her husband had to endure. Poor soul probably went insane from her insanity.
That is a such a sweet limerick. Seriously, Mark. I love it.
