Marjorie Taylor Greene: I Was Raised Catholic, but Wicked Bishops Have ‘Driven Me Away’ from the Church

‘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.......

Well; in California bees are now fish, so anything is possible these days.

Ha, ha! I read about that! Without God, people will believe anything.

We need to parachute in some crates of Bibles in California.

Let’s begin with the title. Just why do Catholics eat fish on Friday – or, better said, why do Catholics abstain from warm-blooded flesh meat on Friday? The obvious answer that every Catholic should know is that it is a penance imposed by the Church to commemorate the day of the Crucifixion of Our Lord – to enable us to make a small sacrifice for the incredible sacrifice He made for our salvation. Why, then, is fish allowed? The drawing of a symbolic fish in the dirt was a way that the early Christians knew each other when it was dangerous to admit in public that one was Christian. Our Lord cooked fish for His Apostles after His Resurrection, and most of these men were fishermen. After He established His Church, these fishermen became “fishers of men” for the Kingdom of God.

Ooooh. Thank you very much for that, Elsie.

[Mark17]

We must always be preaching what is right
And to be forever ready to join in the fight
And tell them all
To avoid the fall
Not to die lost, they’ll never escape their plight.

Good stuff, Mark. And truthful.

There once was a pastor named Ravi
Who thought he was sexually savvy
He molested the weak
To satisfy his freak
Until his wife found out about Sally

[SouthernClaire]

Cults ever refuse the light
In favor of the night
They won’t be a sleuth
Never seeking truth
‘Cause they know it will bite

[MHGinTN]

Amen

[Philsworld]

Satan loves the lawless
They’re easy to be fooled
PTR, pork and shrimp
Salvation overruled

[SouthernClaire]

Cults forego Christ’s wonderful grace
‘Cause they have their own rules in place
They have no free autonomy
And live in Deuteronomy
It’s one hurried run to Hell they race

[Mark17]

It seems we have an interloper, as it were. A cultist is writing Limericks. Are we going to let s cultist get the upper hand? I think not. SC had already made an attempt to counter the cultist. By the way, I read Walter Martin’s Kingdom of the Cults. 😀😃 SDA was there too. It’s a false religion. I knew of a Calvary Chapel pastor in Phoenix, who is ex SDA. Who was it here, that said half of new SDAs end up leaving? Many can see through the trappings and just leave, similar to what I did with the RCC. 😀

[Mark17]

Hear hear. You are improving RAPIDLY. 👍🥩🐠🦪

Anyone can claim God’s grace
And disobey His word
Hebrews clearly spells the penalty
Their hearts remain unstirred
Death to lawbreakers, says our Lord

Beware of the Jabberwocky

[Philsworld]

Pack your mouth full of pork
Shove it up your nose
Abomination God declares
Salvation God forgoes

Well,trying to do so
