‘Mrs. Greene's statement about leaving the Church is as enlightening as it is saddening,’ commented Michael Hichborn, president of the Lepanto Institute.

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.”

Miss Ellen stated that she could not understand scripture without going into a vision. You already know what that means about her.
And yet I disagree with you … I am allowed that right?
I hold my disagreement as you and I will never be able to kindly speak of it. You use your FR friendly’s to protect your speech. Prayers for you.
Before the summer of 1972, I too was in the dark on scripture. I quoted from it doing one of my three designated papers for a degree, but I really did not understand what I was quoting, it was word searched research. The paper was about the mystery religions.
I would have loved to read that paper!
Are you disagreeing with me, or the scripture that I post?
I’d love to read ANYTHING that Obama wrote in college!
Glad you never will. As I am now I would not have written it from the perspective I took.
That Bill Ayers didn’t write for him, you mean?
I DO??
I thought I could handle things all by myself!
But it IS good to have friends with similar beliefs.
Cometh for those who are in the night ... but we are ot of the night!

Yes you do and you know it …
You have your FRiends and Christ has the true kingdom. I know this will trigger you, but perhaps just think about it.
Either one of you care to fill in the rest of the class?
——>Yet another reason that I obey the Law better than you do, I might add.
I “obey” my heavenly Father. It’s a shame that you call God, “unholy”.
This is a personal discussion …love Elsie and seeking understanding….

——>Phil comes onto these threads strutting and boasting about how much better he is than the rest of us...
It only seems like that to you because of your unrepentant lawlessness. You despise God’s law.
