‘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.......

I thought the difficulty in establishing the seventh day began when the second temple was destroyed, in Biblical times... isn’t that when people actually lost track? (Forgotten exactly where in the Bible that is, but I’m sure it’s in there)
Really? The large Jewish population in Babylonia at the time of the destruction of the Second Temple lost track of the Sabbath because there wasn’t a Temple?
How would that work?
Not unless every Jew AND SABBATH-KEEPING CHRISTIAN in the world lost track of the 7 day weekly cycle.
Now that the Essene calendar has been rediscovered the flaws in the Pharisee's lunar calendar are evident, and you haven't a clue since you do not know the Essene calendar.
Puppets! I used sock puppets and the cultist is STILL trying to kick strawmen!
How could I condemn Ravi? He’s OSAS and he’ll be in heaven.

Damn right he is, because he has a new self gifted by God, and the old sinful self with all the wickedness that existed in the body has ceased to exist.
Did you not pay attention to the sock puppet show? Or did you just sit and drool through it? I’m not sure I can dumb down the concept any more for you.
Perhaps too sophisticated for the one-track mind of the cultist.
Ah, it was the first temple I was speaking of. I still can’t find the biblical reference, but I feel certain it’s there... somewhere... the second temple was destroyed by the Romans
And before you start whining, “BUT HIS SIIIINS!” I suggest you re-watch the puppet show about the point at which the old self stops existing.
LOL, Luircin! I saw your sock puppets the first thing this morning with my first cup of coffee. Could’ve killed you because I laughed so hard it made my stomach hurt!
You are on the right track. The Zadok Priests of the Essene line of Judaism continued to keep the solar calendar, even as the Pharisaic line of Judaism fabricated the lunar calendar, which of course was not given to them by God so it was never going to align properly with what God gave to Israel to keep the High Holy Days properly.
Sock puppets bookmark.
The destruction of the First Temple was how all those Jews got to Babylonia.
Prophets like Ezekiel and Daniel were included, as were Temple priests and Levites. Ezra and Nehemiah note the genealogical records they had. Only a minority of exiles returned to the Land of Israel. Not a chance any group lost track of the Sabbath.
The Sadducees were Sad-You-See, because they didn't believe in the Resurrection.
The SADventists are sad and must vent, because they don't believe in the Gospel of Grace and can't bear to see others living in grace.
"This issue arose because some false brothers had
come in under false pretenses to spy on our freedom in
Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.
We did not give in to them for a moment,
so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.…"
"As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would
proceed to circumcize themselves!"
Yep. Willfully blind.
On the other hand, we now know that sock puppets are a better source of Biblical teaching than a SADventist.
👍
I’ll take comfort in the ‘almost’ part of that!
I doubt he’ll listen, but it was still a lot of fun to construct.
I had no idea you made it, Luircin.
You win the Internet forever!
——>wrong perspective, cultist. GOD gave Israel a specific day which is HIS seventh day and anchored that particular day on the solar calendar.
The 7th-day-Sabbath was instituted at CREATION. It commemorates CREATION and the CREATOR, Jesus Christ.
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
The 7th-day-Sabbath is INDEPENDENT OF ANY CALENDAR.
1 2 3 4 5 6 SABBATH 1 2 3 4 5 6 SABBATH 1 2 3 4 5 6 SABBATH, etc...
Now, CEREMONIAL sabbaths are a different story. You do know the difference, don’t you? I’ve posted it many times on these threads to haters of God’s law, such as yourself.
