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.......

BOTJ,
From false teachers proud and cocky.

You’ll regret it the Last Day.
Smell it now,it’s just horse hockey!

Ha! I just came from the bath. I hope I bathed well enough because the entire time was spent thinking of limerick lines.

Ravi liked to party
In Bangkok, Bangladesh
A certain gal he courted
Who showed him lots of flesh

Do you ever wonder when a couple wed whether
They sleep on a mattress made of cotton or feather?
Ellen says no to the latter
Should be a personal matter
But let us just hope they’re not a bed wetter

Of Bangkok Sally mistress
Then one day his doctor said
Herpes, Gonorrhea, Syphilis

Againer’s sexual talk
That’s all they seem to think
With Ravi as their leader
Their doctrines putrid, stink

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


What about oysters, Phil? Are people who eat those going to Hell?

Sunday is the mark
Againers all deny
Weeping, wailing, gnashing teeth
A chance you had to sanctify

Your post is an insult to many people who’ve lost limbs. You should be ashamed but I’ve learned by now that there’s none in you. Your post is absolutely disgusting.

And yet, 99% of what we hear from you is all about the sex life of Ravi Zacharias. Again, what a joke. Nasty minded little thing, aren’t you? Ellen would say you’ve been a bad boy and your brain has turned to mush with you having such thoughts. True, or did she lie again?

I thought you wanted to wash off the stench of false religion. I was absent for a bit, cuz I was enjoying a bacon 🥓 and ham sammich🍔 I know that’s a double whopper with Cheese, but close enough. I just love eating all this good good. Do I look like I am losing any sleep over whether a cultist likes it or not. Actually, I really couldn’t care less who doesn’t like it.
By the way, I just stumbled across a you tube video. I saw the face first, before I read it. It is a picture of, none other than Ellen G White. I don’t believe in coincidence, so maybe the Lord brought me to it. I will send you the link in freep mail. 😀😃🤭😂

Your sammich sounds good. I’d use pepper jack cheese and American, thin slices of a cold, crispy onion, and a couple of slices of pickle. (Dang. I don’t get hungry till around evening, but you’ve got my mouth watering!)

I don’t believe in coincidence either, Mark. Please send the link.
