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.......

Pure trash. Guttersnipe trash. Not surprised.

Not surprised either. Spiritual warfare with a cultist. Get ready to have the thread pilled. I am going to watch the video. Several of them are by Walter Martin. This thread will be pulled. I predict.

Oh, boy. So, she believed herself to be the “Lesser Light” to guide us to the “Bigger Light.”

Her titling of her works as, “The Testimonies of Jesus Christ” is enough to blow my mind.

I like the way Pastor Tim is going line by line, refuting with scripture, and making things as plain as day.

Yes, he is good, but there are others who refute the SDA as well.

The difference between you and us is that we’re having fun spanking your false prophetess in rhyme.

You’re making yourself miserable trying to give us a “taste of our own medicine,” not realizing that it just makes us laugh at you more.

Tl;dr: Seethe more, Phil. Ellen G. “Pork-sucker” White is burning in Hell.

The following is a letter by Fannie Bolton who was EGW's secretary, to Mrs. E. C. Slawson, of an incident that took place on the day, in 1891, when Fannie and EGW sailed for Australia.

Fannie Bolton: "...

"I have been as they say 'through the mill.' I became an Adventist in Chicago under the labors of G. B. Starr, and was very zealous for what is called 'Present Truth.' I truly believed it was the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and lived up to the testimonies with all faithful­ness discarding meat, butter, fish, fowl and the supper meal, believing that as the 'Testimonies' say, 'No meat-eater will be translated.'

"I had been faithfully instructed by Eld. Starr that the testimonies came, as they were, written from God...I had been taught that oysters were abominable in God's sight... I had several good openings for original writings at the time which would have been more to my taste; but waived everything to go with the 'prophet.'

"...I left to go with Sr. White on the very day when my brother was to be married. At the depot Sr. White was not with her party, so Eld. Starr hunted around till he found her behind a screen in the restaurant very gratified in eating big white raw oysters with vinegar, pepper and salt. I was overwhelmed by this inconsistency and dumb with horror.

"Eld. Starr hurried me out and made all sort of excuses and justifications of Sr. White's action; yet I kept thinking in my heart, 'What does this mean? What has God said? How does she dare eat these abominations?'

"On the cars out to California, W. C. White came into the train with a great thick piece of bloody beefsteak spread out on a brown paper and he bore it through the tourist car on his own two hands.

"Sarah McEnterfer who is now with Sr. White as her attendant, cooked it on a small oil stove and everyone ate of it except myself and Marian Davis who I found out afterwards was more the author of the books purported to be Sr. White's than she was her­self.

"I was with Mrs. White for seven and a half years like a soul on a rock, because of all kinds of inconsistencies, injustices, and chicaneries. I have seen Sr. White eat meat, chicken, fish, fowl, shrimps, rich cake, pies, etc. etc.

"I cannot go into detail but Sr. Daniells told me she herself had cooked meat for Sr. White on the campground. Eld. Horn told me his wife had done the same thing. Sr. Rousseau told me that she too had done so. Dear Sister, Sr. White has written that when we do not live up to the testimonies we re­tract them. She has vitiated (made lifeless) her own claims..."

—Letter from Fannie Bolton to Mrs. E. C. Slawson, Dec. 30, 1914, as quoted in The Fannie Bolton story, pp. 107,109.
