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.......

Jesus:
“Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil? “

Cronos, even Christ teaches one of His 12 is a devil. Chosen by Him.

For His purposes.
And His Glory..

No. I posted an anti-Catholic comment, and I will continue to do so as long as you all worship Mary, bow down to idols, lie about the Bible, remove 1 of the 10 commandments, lie about Mary being the mother of God (dumbest thing I’ve ever read in my entire life), and promote pedophilia.

So, now, get those knickers out of a bunch and go play in traffic.

Israel was kept about 2,000 cubits from the Ark before Passing Over into the Promised Land..

Your Roman Catholic Bible reference of this is Joshua 3:4.

Spiritual Israel has been enduring the same events.
Not literally, spiritually.
Just as Saul/Paul speaks of in his contributions within Your Roman Catholic bible

The thing is that those who believe in Darby ‘s pre tribulation rapture and being spirited away are disregarding Jesus own words

John 15 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me

This was visible in Acts 9

16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name

A ‘no u’ and an attempt to copypaste my posts.

Followed up by strawman arguments as well!

Good to know your rhetorical well is that shallow.

Rome is gay.
The priesthood is gay.
The leadership knowingly allows homosexuals to remain.
The gay leaders in the Vatican have drug and sex parties.
It is allowed.
It’s been true for at least 5 popes.
The child sexual abuse was know of and protected under at least five popes.
Bishops knew and hid it.
It’s all gay.

Christ’s church isn’t a gay church.

It was Catholic bishops, successors to the Apostles, who approved the various Gospels and Epistles for reading during the Eucharist. And it was the same bishops who in synod drew up the canon, the list of contents of Scripture.

So to accept the Scriptures as the Word of God is in fact accepting the word of the Catholic Church

The Bible is THE Catholic Book par excellence, the Church’s great treasure, handed down, proclaimed, taught and expounded for more than sixty generations.

1 Tim 3:15 God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

No strawman

Jesus was God in the womb.

The creator had as His mother one of His creations.

Do you agree that Jesus was God in the womb?

You can add the support of homosexuality and in fact married lesbian and gay pastors among various western non Catholic groups.

So you then agree that the pre tribulation rapture philosophy is a lie!

Good on you!

Christ came for the sinners, not the self righteous.

Btw do you think your organisation with its lesbia married pastors is within sin?

Ah yes, move the goal posts! You tried to float a lie, and did so over and over. Now you want to shift the focus.

I came to believe in the Pre-tribulation removal of the Body of Christ long before discovering even who and what John Darby is about. In fact, I have believed in and am reassured by the pre trib Rapture removal even before I discovered the reference to rapture in Enoch and the Dead Saea Scrolls and the pre trib website. When I heard Dr. Tommy Ice describing the pre trib rapture I was so pleasantly surprised I have sepnt literally years now researching and writing about the pre trib Rapture and why it is necessary to the truth of scritpure regarding the end times.

When a deceiver like you insults the truth of the Pre Trib Rapture I feel a spiritual urge to defend the truth as I believe it due to the enlightening that Holy Spirit within my human born again spirit. My motivation is to prevent seekers who can be deceived by folks like you who defend the catholic org rejection of The Rapture and the implications.

Those born 500 years ago would concur.
But the bible didn’t say about 1500 cubits or about 1500 demon possessed swine

It also mentions two cock crows in Mark. The same and only gospel that shows the about 2,000 figure..

He’s been in Heaven 2 Days Cronos.
If we can believe He tells time like the bible says, 1,000 years is a day. A day is as 1,000 years.
2 days, about 2,000 years.

Tick Tock

AMEN, AMPU! Gay through and through. Were I Catholic, I’d spend all I had on the fastest running shoes I could find. You’d see nothing but a blur whiz past you.

Catholics still remaining true to their “church” know that they are supporting everything you listed. Every dime and every type of support helps a pedophile molest children. I would think long and hard on that before I gave another red cent or attended the next service. I think we already know what God Almighty thinks about it, and I wouldn’t want to be in the position of trying to explain to Him why I supported such evil.

As you said, “Christ’s church isn’t a gay church.”

May God protect the little children.

Big strawman, because I defy you to find a single post where I was arguing the point you’re trying to argue against.

You just rushed to the tired old talking points that have been refuted over and over.

It looks from over here like certain posters are so full of Roman propaganda that all someone has to do is prick the ego and it all explodes out indiscriminately like a burst balloon.

There is coming a reckoning where you will deeply regret trying to usurp the power and work of The Holy Spirit:

Cronos: "So to accept the Scriptures as the Word of God is in fact accepting the word of the Catholic Church"

Do you recall what JESUS said about blaspheming the Holy Spirit?

I could add a lot of things wrong in many churches but as of yet I’ve never heard one claim the “One True Church” line and make up a church that is so far removed from the Bible that a mosque would be closer to the truth than it. The true Church is the assembly of the called out ones who make up the Body of Christ Jesus. It has nothing to do with popes, bowing down to idols, repetitious prayer, prayer beads, goofy hats, the idolization of Mary, nor with the molesting of little children who are so very precious in God’s eyes.

How long do you think purgatory will be for those holding up your “church,” Cronos?

May God protect the little children from the Catholic “church.”
