‘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.......

Jesus had many brothers, which means Mary had multiple kids and had much sex.
Maybe Catholics have a thing for frigid marriages?
Well, when God is the terrifying judge who sentences even his children to thousands of years of suffering in Purgatory, and Mary is the one who gets you out of that suffering...
It’s like a two-tiered salvation system. Christ gets you out of Hell, but Mary gets you out of Purgatory.
If I’m wrong about your devotional tendencies, then I’m very happy to be wrong.
You’re only going to get salvation from Christ after all.
Izzat so?
How does this work?
Mary is dead.
She is not in Heaven answering the prayers of millions of Catholics.
Murf; all the TITLES that your chosen religion has attached to a simple Jewish girl are the things that 'diss' her.
The term "Larger Than Life" comes to m ind.
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
Heck, there’s a Catholic prayer to Mary she is appealed to for mercy by the person praying from “Jesus, my Judge”.
Catholics aren’t even presented with and hence don’t see Him as Jesus as a loving, compassionate Savior, the GOOD shepherd. They see Him as a demanding, capricious judge who one needs to grovel to in order to beg forgiveness.
Just looking at the tone of so many Catholic prayers shows that.
in the final judgement, we can all use a little help.
Let's look into this...
Exodus 32:32-33
But now, if you will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.” But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.
Daniel 12:1
“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.Philippians 4:3
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.Revelation 20:11-15
"Then I saw a great White Throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and THE BOOKS WERE OPENED. Another book was opened WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to their works. Then death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, he was thrown into the lake of fire."Revelation 21:27Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
It appears that the only witnesses will be some data written in some books of some sort.
Amen!
Can you imagine putting Mary between yourself and a true relationship with God the Father and the Son???
Scripture tells believers to approach the throne of God BOLDLY!
Catholicism tells it's victims they're guilty and have to do more false works, hang onto beads, pray to Mary because "Jesus can't turn down His own mom!"
Hey Rome! You had ONE JOB! Teach the Gospel of Grace. Instead, you added paganism and perverted the Gospel into a false religion.
Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!
"Hey!! Knock it off! We made her into a demigoddess, which is like a junior god, but many of us are working to elevate her to Co-Redemtrix to help her ascend to full godhood. It takes time! You must not love her!"-Catholic Dude
Or maybe they just wanted a frigid marriage for Mary and Joseph, but not others. I mean, look at my Catholic parents. They were fruitful too, but I think Mary and Joseph were even MORE fruitful. 😀😂🤭
She’s right, too many homosexual Bishops and very little internal accountability for decades. Perhaps the biggest malpractice of religion of our time.
When the wine ran out at the wedding in Cana, Mary turned to Jesus and said:
“They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:3-5, NIV)
just sayin...
