‘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.......

You would think if he was truly a SADventist, he’d follow his prophetess and her teachings carefully, but no.
He picks and chooses.
You’re still going to Hell unless you repent, ebb. Catholicism says so.
Or are you going to lie that you never called me a lost cause? Again?
I’m glad I live rent-free in your mind.
***
Says the man who just revealed that he’s been stalking my posts. Methinks that ebby doth protest too much.
I never denied that I called you a lost cause.
You’re reading way too much in that expression.
As far as repenting, that’s between me and God, via the Sacrament of Confession.

WRONG!
Sorry ebb, but I know Catholicism better than you do. I know Catholicism well enough to know that you need to apologize to anyone you’ve wronged, else it’s not sincere repentance. I know Catholicism well enough to know that if your priest didn’t tell you that, he was doing his job wrong... unless, of course, you didn’t tell the entire truth while confessing.
Same way that if a hypothetical someone stole something and told the priest, he doesn’t get to keep what he stole.
And while we’re at it, I would LOVE to know how your calling me a lost cause wasn’t judging my soul when you defended yourself right afterwards by comparing me to Judas.
And I would love to know even more why you decided to wait until NOW to insist that you weren’t really judging my soul. Considering how much you insulted me and kept trying to change the subject when you COULD have just said that’s not what you meant?
You were certainly treating it as true. So either you were lying before or you’re lying now. Funny how you change your stories so fast.
Mary isn’t going to save you if you just lied unrepentantly, ebb.
Your little scapular isn’t going to save you from Hellfire that you earned by your unrepentance.
See what I mean?
All I had to do was mention that according to his own religion he’s bound for Hell and he explodes in REEEEEEEEEEEE.
You’d think that he’d just swallow his pride and apologize if for no other reason than to get me to shut up about it.
Time to calm down and get back inside.
Regarding you infantile insecurity, I’ve never had anything to apologize to you for, ergo nothing to confess regarding your little complex.
Are you on drugs now?
If you knew Catholicism better than I, you would become a Catholic.
Because: Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus
You’re the one who won’t shut up.
You’re never getting any apology for some imagined insult.
Grow up.
Oh ebb. Lying again? You said so many things completely different upthread.
I won’t shut up because you’re sending yourself to Hell and I don’t want you to be damned.
If I hated you, I’d laugh at how deep you’re throwing yourself into your sin and lies and self-contradictions, JUST to spite me.
But instead, I suffer your constant abuse and insults because calling you to repent is the right thing to do.
Ah, another insult from ebb, throwing himself even deeper into Hell because he hates me so much...
It’s sad.
Literally no matter what you say, you committed a sin and need to apologize.
If you really did judge my soul then you need to apologize to me because that’s a sin against me.
If you didn’t judge my soul but just let me think you did, that’s a lie of omission against me and you need to apologize.
A refusal to apologize is a sign of unrepentance, and thus, according to Catholicism, you’re going to Hell.
Mary isn’t gonna save you from that.
And finally, I’m using Catholic theology to try to reach you because your past behavior suggests that if I didn’t use Catholicism you’d refuse to listen.
I’m not surprised you’re not more grateful that I’m trying to talk to you in a way you understand instead of just calling you names.
——>Except when you overheat, you begin to blurt out “Ravi! Ravi!” Like a SADventist Rainman.
It sounds like you’re becoming unglued. So, now I know that I need to mention Ravi even more. Thanks for the suggestion OTP.
——>Of course I keep the Law better than you do.
That’s exactly what I would expect a lawbreaker and hater of all things God’s law to say.
He is a joke. What’s that name you call him, Lurch? Hilarious.
Then why do you say it all the time?
Thank you for admitting you’re a filthy lawbreaker just like your pork-sucking prophetess.
