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.......

Such a sad little man, so obsessed with the sins of Ravi . So blind to the Grace of God in Christ due to obsessive focus upon the flesh. So deceived by the spirit of antichrist. The cult mind, obsessed with condemning Ravi to make itself feel righteous, at least more righteous than Ravi. So clueless is the cuyltuist.

What’s your answer? You always demand answers from others. C’mon, Phil. How many times do you get to commit the same sin before God kicks you out?

Yep. That’s it. “Look at HIS sins. I’m righteous and thank God I’m not like that sinner!” I do believe Jesus would have had a few words for such an attitude.

The hidden horror is that the cultist has never been 'in' .

The obsession with Ravi Zacharias is an indication that the cultist has a hidden repetitive sin which it cannot shake so it seeks a feeling of 'better than him' in the obsession over Ravi's sins.

Darn good analysis, MHG. Wish I were half as smart.

It makes perfectly good sense.

(And you should note, Phil, that doing it in the mind is the same as doing it in the flesh.)

Not smart just the obsession is so blatant ... and the sad cultist is so proud of his obsession. So obviuous ‘even a cave man could see it’.

How could I condemn Ravi? He’s OSAS and he’ll be in heaven.

I’ve no doubt that Ravi did it many times in his mind.

Ravi, Ravi, Ravi. You’ve really got Ravi on the brain, don’t you? Anything you want to share with the class?

How many times can you commit a sin, repent, ask forgiveness, and then commit the same sin again before God kicks you out?

I don’t know.

Do you? I suppose you have never thought about it. Why would you? OSAS would never have to worry about it.

Greatest Golden Poster Boy of OSAS ever. You should be proud of your teacher/prophet. He made a name for himself.

Are you still saved, then? If so, how do you know?

Obey God (keep His commandments), trust and believe in Him, repent of your sins, endure to the end.

These people thought they were saved. Unfortunately, they were wrong. Maybe they were OSAS? What do you think Claire?

Matthew 7:
21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’…

Where is this in the Bible?

I think you have no clue as to where, to whom, nor how and when to apply scripture.
