‘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.......

Here’s a tip, Phil: For whom did Christ Jesus say He came?
“These people thought they were saved. Unfortunately, they were wrong. Maybe they were OSAS? What do you think Claire?
“Obey God (keep His commandments), trust and believe in Him, repent of your sins, endure to the end.”
Where is this in the Bible?
And still haven’t answered my other question in which I asked if you were saved or not, and how you know either way.
OSASers don’t know how to look that up? Do your own homework.
3077
I’m too stupid to find it. Where is it, Phil?
“3077”
Okaaay.
So, after committing the same sins over and over again, repenting again and again, asking forgiveness again and again, you don’t know if you’re saved or not. Got it.
3077. “Obey God (keep His commandments), trust and believe in Him, repent of your sins, endure to the end.”
3085. “OSASers don’t know how to look that up? Do your own homework.”
I tried, but it’s just not there. I used “endure” as the only search term so as to be sure to find it. Maybe you could enlist the help of your wife to find it. All I found was:
Mat_24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mar_4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
Mar_13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
2Th_1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
2Ti_2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Ti_2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2Ti_4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti_4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Heb_12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Heb_12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
Jas_5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
1Pe_2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself.
SC, did you check the SAD Bible Commentary??😂🥓
So many things you could be reading about OSAS
Type in “is OSAS a lie? etc...see what pops up. Many churchs do not believe it. You’d be surprised. Because...it’s not biblical.
The yo yo god of cults is not able to save completely. You are exhibit A. Will you eventually be saved, cultist? Is the yo yo up or down when you die? Is the god of your cult making its decision based on how well you kept what you thought was the exact day GOD set aside as the Sabbath? Following the lunar calendar or the Gregorian calendar, youy cannot know. Sad that
Except as I’ve told you before, PROFESSER BREAK AND TEACH, the 7 day cycle is INDEPENDENT OF ANY CALANDER. Get it?
1 2 3 4 5 6 Sabbath
1 2 3 4 5 6 Sabbath
1 2 3 4 5 6 Sabbath
Are you so dull that you cannot understand what any 2nd grader can?
You just keep showing how ignorant you are, cultist! LOL
Uh oh.
The shouting is starting again.
Time to step away from the wig as Ellen instructed, Phil.
It seems you’re overheating already and it’s not evening yet.
Are you eating too much meat today?
I checked it, AMPU, and it is sad, indeed. SAD, SAD, SAD.

I read almost everything I could years ago about the subject, Phil, and compared scripture with scripture. It’s not like someone tells you what to believe and you just bel....
Oh, right. Never mind.
The Gregorian Calendar Reform
Sometimes people will say the calendar reform in the Middle Ages must have altered the weekdays as we know them, so we cannot be sure which day is the seventh day. Again people that think this have not researched the issue.
The calendar reform of 1582 was initiated by Pope Gregory XIII because the calendar established by Julius Caesar, was not accurate and stable. This was due to the fact that the Julian calendar added a leap day every 4 years, without exception, and this resulted in adding too many days than required for an accurate solar calendar. The Julian calendar had commenced the 1st of January of the 46th year before the birth of Christ (the 708th from the foundation of Rome). At that time the Spring equinox fell on March 25th, but because of the Julian calendar's inaccuracy, it had gradually drifted earlier over the years to March 10th or 11th by 1582. This error was important to the Catholic church, because under the solar Julian calendar, the date of Easter (the most important date to the church), was gradually creeping farther and farther (earlier and earlier) away from the time of year set by the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D., when the equinox fell about March 21st. Easter was then to be observed by Roman Catholics on the first Sunday after the full moon occurring after the Spring equinox, except when that coincided with the Jewish Passover, in which case Easter was delayed to the following Sunday.
To correct this perceived Easter problem, Pope Gregory XIII (Inter Gravissimas) returned the Spring equinox to March 21st by decreeing that Thursday, October 4th, 1582, would be followed not by the 5th, but by Friday, October 15th. He jumped the calendar 10 days numerically, but did not change the weekly cycle of days.
So that this correction would be maintained, the Pope then decreed that leap years would occur only when the year was divisible by four, and only the centennial years that were divisible by 400 would be leap years. During a leap year, one day is added to the month of February (the 29th), as a correction. This method of calendar keeping was gradually adopted across Europe, and the world, and is nearly universal today.
England did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1752. By that time, eleven days had been gained so Wednesday, September 2, was followed by Thursday, September 14. The eleven days were skipped, but the weekly cycle of days, Sunday through Saturday, remained unchanged throughout the Middle Ages. (The French Revolution was a notable exception, when for a period of 14 years (1792-1806) a ten day week was adopted, the tenth day being the day of rest).
