‘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.......

Just when are we broken humans able to put up the banner:
LOL Good sock puppets. Describes many cultists. 👍
You did indeed sir. I hope you had a nice ham sammich for lunch, and turkey loaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, for dinner. 👍😀
And I hope your new day in paradise is amazing.
Is it hot enough there to require a nightly soaking in an Ellen White Cooling Barrel™️
Good job simplifying concepts …
Maybe the sock puppets will stop the strawmanning.
I doubt it, but it was fun to put together!
Only one suggestion for your brilliant presentation: reduce the words to fourth grade level for the SDA cultist, to get the message across.
One woman told the investigators that “after he arranged for the ministry to provide her with financial support, he required sex from her.” She called it rape.
She said Zacharias “made her pray with him to thank God for the ‘opportunity’ they both received” and, as with other victims, “called her his ‘reward’ for living a life of service to God,” the report says. Zacharias warned the woman—a fellow believer—if she ever spoke out against him, she would be responsible for millions of souls lost when his reputation was damaged.
Is Nicolaitan a 4th grade level word?
Who knew that married OSAS ministers, as their reward for “living a life of service to God”, get to hook up with multiple women. Ravi should have chosen the ice water barrel and prayer. But why would he? FLESH SINNING DIDN’T COUNT (unfortunately for Ravi, Paul says is does). Hook up with all the women he could find and NO PENALTY. What a life.
Oopsie, sorry, I was wrong about there being no penalty. I was previously reminded that OSAS, UNREPENTANT sinners, will all get housed in the Trailer Park section of Heaven (but they get cable TV).
MHG, do either Andy or Ken have a teaching on the Trailer Park section in heaven? Do the Essenes mention anything? Any ECF’s? Please ask Andy to preach a sermon on that, then post it for us to view. Thanks.
Ravi Straw man in Your Head Rent Free Placemarker!
Luirsin, maybe think about doing a sock puppet montage in a trailer park?
Or maybe sock puppets cleaning cat turds out of a litter box?
He can live rent free in my head for as long as he wants. He’s the gift that keeps on giving.
In April/May it certainly is. Don’t visit here in April/May. Best months are December/January. Nice and cool, but good time for island hopping. We will roast a pig and a goat, and have a grand time. 😀🤗🤪 Unfortunately, there are some SADventists here too, though I have not met any, except for the few I met at Davao Adventist hospital, after a dog bite. I never went back there again. 👍🤭
Of course!
What ELSE could a Beast * 4 be?
I ain’t said nuttin’ about no cable, lil buddy.
At the rate you’re going, you’ll be walking on that ungodly ugly orange shag carpet from the 70s.
BTW, I noticed you just skipped right over my question. I’m sure it was accidental:
How many times do YOU get to repeat the same sin, repent, ask forgiveness, before God kicks YOU out?
