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.......

How about a nice lechon baboy? A whole pig, roasted on a spit. You should see these people fight over the skin of the pig. It’s comical.

There once was a cult called seventh day
With all the false doctrines up on display
Don’t struggle with this
I don’t think I will miss.
A false religion that tells me it’s the right way.

There still is a cult, that’s centered in Rome
Right down the street from the hippodrome
It isn’t well placed
It’s actually disgraced
It’s right above the dead in the old catacomb.

When awake, but just laying in bed,
Silly rhymes run around in your head.
The room starts to spin,
As you scream, “Not AGAIN!!”
If you can’t make them stop you’ll be dead.

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

You believe in the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. So your statement is a blatant lie. Nicolaitans also believed in OSAS and sin is for suckers. Your false teacher and prophet, Ravi Zacharias, believed that as well.

——>And then on top of demanding that other people obey rules that Jesus has already fulfilled the purpose of, he deliberately disobeys the same laws that he demands other people follow and makes excuses that HE’S allowed to violate the Sabbath.

Except that Jesus clearly says you are wrong, BREAKER/ TEACHER (Professor)

17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Violating the Sabbath again Phil?

Don’t try to tell me that you’re ‘doing good’ by insulting people on the Internet.

You’d serve God better by actually reading the New Testament instead of displaying your ignorance of it.

Referencing verse 20

Can I safely assume that you are more righteous than a Pharisee or Sadducee?
