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.......

——>By the time the Mark scene arrives, those in Christ will already be in Heaven witnessing the opening of the seven sealed scroll (see Chptr 5 of the Revelation: we are the redeemed by His Blood).

Your false teachers/prophets have all but sealed your fate. You heard the truth but you freely chose not to believe it, and instead decided to follow Satan. The unrepentant LAWLESS will never enter heaven.

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Rev_19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

You should put down you ham sandwich and do some bible study instead, Big Bird.

Daniel 1:20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

This should be a lesson to you. But, your hatred of God’s law prevents it.

You have your FRiends and Christ has the true kingdom. I know this will trigger you, but perhaps just think about it.

Are you saying they are not the same?

A simple yes or no will do.

Pfft. I STILL obey God’s law far better than you do.

Your blind hatred of the Word of God Incarnate proves your disobedience.

It’s pretty funny to watch you seethe though.

——>Pfft. I STILL obey God’s law far better than you do.

Maybe someday you’ll figure out that committing LAWLESSNESS isn’t obeying God’s law.

Matthew 7:21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…

Being set apart as Holy unto God, means something, TO GOD. As an example, every time you eat unclean meat, you are telling God to stuff His holiness. I’d worry about that if I were you.

“For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy...” Leviticus 11

AGAIN, God would NEVER sanctify something he has already declared as an abomination,

It is always interesting when a poster claims they omnisciently know what God would do or not do - based on every possibility and every reason! That they perfectly know God's thoughts. I see this a lot with cults.

I'm guessing it has to be the regular evening barrel-soaking, abstaining from wearing his wig at night, etc - all the things Ellen recommended to avoid lascivious behaviors.

You despise God’s law.

Now, this is a clear case of mind-reading by a poster.

From reading his posts, not mind reading. His distain (yours too) for the law of God is clearly evident in his posts.
