‘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.......

Romans 5:6-8 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
An online poll of ex-Mormons found that a majority of ex-Mormons do not self-identify as a member of another faith tradition, choosing to describe themselves as agnostic, atheist or simply ex-Mormon. Some can also become apatheist. A Pew Research report corroborated this, finding in 2015 that 36% of those born Mormon left the religion, with 21% of born Mormons (58% of ex-Mormons) now unaffiliated, 6% evangelical Protestant, and 9% converting to other Protestant, Catholic, or a non-Christian faith.[19] Others either retained belief in God but not in organized religion or became adherents of other faiths.[7] Among ex-Mormons with no current religious preference, 36 percent continued the practice of prayer often or daily.[13] Ex-Mormon attitudes toward Mormons and Mormonism vary widely. Some ex-Mormons actively proselytize against Mormonism, while some provide only support to others leaving the religion. Other ex-Mormons prefer to avoid the subject entirely, while still others may try to encourage healthy dialogue between adherents of their new faiths and active Mormons. Attitudes of ex-Mormons also differ regarding their church membership. Some formally resign, which the LDS Church refers to as "name removal", while others simply stop attending church services.
MATTHEW 26:41 KJV
“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation;
the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Our old English teachers would be SO proud of us!
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
I finally had time to view this video by Ken Johnson. I have been working a lot of hours and its canning season. Just a few comments.
He mentions satan accusing the saints at the judgment.(about 17:30 in the video) Revelation 20 seems to put Satan in the lake of fire before the books were opened.
At about the 38 minute mark he says that Ruth became an Israelite. This is not in the Bible and is conspicuous by its absence. Ruth is called a Moabitess and is typical of the PTR. She is not mentioned again after the birth of Obed. The women said “a child is born unto Naomi.”
No appeal to Greek.
Just posting what the passage says using what gets left out in English and loses what was inspired.
If you want to know what something *means*, it’s always good to understand what it actually *says”
Just the lyrics to a song I posted a few threads back.
Elsie posted the link too I believe.
Yep, ex Mormons too. I would like to see what ex RCC, JWs do.
I am sure amoreperfectunion DOES know Greek.
When Ruth married an Israelite (one of Naomi’s sons) she became an Israelite. That is not what happens if a non-Jew male marries an Israelite. When the child, Obed, was born to Ruth THAT meant an heir to Naomis deceased husband was re-establishing Naomi’s husband lineage. Mahlon and Chilean were both deceased without children, but Ruth had been the wife of an Israelite before she was taken in marriage by the near kinsman.
You might take that one as directed at you.
Bravo! You learn fast!
Bring it.
Let’s see what you consider to be so bad, instead of making vague references to something unsaid.
Claim ‘free verse’ and you can write anything!
Maybe the dude is a cultist. I think he (she) is being way too judgmental. 🤗😀😂👍
