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.......

Amen to that, Luircin. Not quite the righteous man he claimed to be.

All pardonable, except that one.

About 40 million times.

Paul was a repeat sinner. Do you listen to him?

——>So, now that you’ve been found out to be a repeat offender, it’s changed to “licensed sinner” for Zacharias.

I hope someday you finally know what you’re talking about.

Thank you for admitting that you have no answer other than to start insulting people.

You lose.

HAH!

Good job; now you’re arguing my points for me. That was an unexpected 180.

I trust that you’ll never whine about Ravi again now that you’ve established that being a repeat sinner is no proof against what they’re talking about.

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like...

if OSAS, all going to heaven. If they are sins, they really aren’t, because it’s the FLESH committing them, not the Spirit. (what a load of cat turds)

Not a 180. Christians sin. They need to REPENT, and ask the Holy Spirit for strength in conquering sin. But, that would not apply to you, Claire, MHG, etc... because you are OSAS and sin can’t keep you out of heaven. Good for you. Good job!

9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

OSAS say that’s a lie. After grace everyone goes to heaven. “I’m not really the one committing the sins (if they really are sins), it’s my FLESH”.

Dopey Doctrine of the Nicolaitans, guaranteed to keep you out of heaven.

14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

OSASers say “nope, that’s a lie. Nothing will keep me from from entering heaven. I’m going to get what’s mine” “After grace I’m locked in. I can’t be unsaved. No amount of sin (if there really is such a thing) is gonna keep me out of heaven”.

And yet again, you prove yourself either too proud or too obsessed with poop to actually address what OSAS teaches in the first place, which bears no resemblance to what you just claimed.

Do I need to use sock puppets?

Ah, another ad hominem from our Phil, once again proving that he’s lost the argument and is going to soon start melting down into a screaming mess.

Hi there! I'm the old self; I'm dead in my trespass and can do nothing but sin!

Hi there! I'm the new self, given freely by God's grace, and I'm alive in Christ! I can't sin!

I hate you; new self! I'm going to try to make the body that we have to share commit sins worthy of Hell!

That's a pity, old self, but the sins you committed have all been crucified with Christ and are all forgiven. And because I'm the sinless new self, I have eternal life just like God promised!

But I committed so many sins! WHY AREN'T YOU GOING TO HELL WITH ME!?

Your sins can't affect me, old self, because I'm alive and you're dead. And when this body we share dies, you're going to cease to exist, and the resurrected body when Jesus comes back will have only me in it!

Just which trick do you refer to Phil?

The one where I point out your:

SADventist Heresies?
Logical Fallacies?
Crazy practices?
False Prophetess failures?

Actually, I’ve already listed 4 great “tricks” as you call them.

Poor little Phil; he suffers a righteous ass whupping and he has nothing left but insults that would be laughed off of a kindergarten playground.

Just like always.

One would think he’s a masochist with how much he comes back for more.
