Marjorie Taylor Greene: I Was Raised Catholic, but Wicked Bishops Have ‘Driven Me Away’ from the Church

‘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.......

Typical catholic drek trying to twist someone's words to fit the lies of catholicism.

Here is a vide you would do well to watch and take to heart, but we know you are so deceievd you will refuse truth:

For convenience start at minute 4 and following, regarding ECF Victor writing on the Revelation.

Mother of JESUS, what the Holy Spirit identifies her as in Scripture, not mother of God as Catholics deify her as.

Catholic convoluted explanations of why they are claiming Mary is mother of Deity are not based on Scripture, but rationalization. Why Catholics think they can improve on what the Holy Spirit breathed out in Scripture is beyond me but is quite a bit of chutzpah.

God is eternal and was not given birth to like Mormon’s believe. It sounds more like you are espousing Mormon doctrine than anything Christian. Have you converted?

[metmom]

It’s too bad Catholics weren’t as focused on following Jesus as they are in following Mary and their church.

The only way they seem to be able to relate to Him is either eating Him, or worshiping a wheat wafer, thinking they are worshipping Him.

Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

Acts 17:29 Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

[metmom]

Unreal.

The Scripture that the Holy Spirit gave us through the JEWS, is being claimed byCatholicism as its own work and we’re supposed to give credit(glory) to THEm for what God provided?

Someone needs to read Acts 12 and take it to heart. Herod learned the hard way.

[MurphsLaw]

But then the catholicv org invented replacement theology, to elevate their org above Judaism,

So how was your vacation you big lug?

I see you are still dealing in falsehoods...

If you're looking for any anti-semitism dust-up.. look no further than German Monk "Brother Martin" who BROKE AWAY from the Catholic Church... to start his own in Germany.
You know WHAT the Church stated 60 years ago in Vat 2 -

Vatican II Declaration Nostra Aetate 4 (1965)
The CHURCH […] cannot forget that she received the revelation of the Old Testament through the people with whom God in His inexpressible mercy concluded the Ancient Covenant. Nor can she forget that she draws sustenance from the root of that well-cultivated olive tree onto which have been grafted the wild shoots, the Gentiles. [...]

The Church- WITH ITS TRADITION BASED The Church keeps ever in mind the words of the Apostle about his kinsmen: "theirs is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the law and the worship and the promises; theirs are the fathers and from them is the Christ according to the flesh" (Rom. 9:4-5), the Son of the Virgin Mary. She also recalls that the Apostles, the Church's main-stay and pillars, as well as most of the early disciples who proclaimed Christ's Gospel to the world, sprang from the Jewish people.

As Holy Scripture testifies, Jerusalem did not recognize the time of her visitation, nor did the Jews in large number, accept the Gospel; indeed not a few opposed its spreading. Nevertheless, God holds the Jews most dear for the sake of their Fathers; He does not repent of the gifts He makes or of the calls He issues-such is the witness of the Apostle. [...]

True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ;(13) still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today. Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures.

Why do you persist in the things you say that you know are wrong in the time in which you live?
- or what the Church does NOT believe- that you stubbornly say it does against all evidence?

What is the reason to invent falsehood where there is none?
I'm game for whatever you want to throw my way- but zi would suggest it at least be truthfully relevant.
That is my hope anyway. Furthering this topic, we should also look at the undeniable Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith.
Dr. Bergsma wrote a great book on the DSS and the Jewish rooted Christianity you deny.

“The Church’s liturgy and “sacramental economy”—is“prefigured in the Old Covenant” (CCC 1093). To understand “Christian liturgy,” we must first understand “Jewish liturgy” (CCC 1096). Many ancient Jewish practices and beliefs lie at the roots of the present-day Catholic Mass."

Jewish liturgy and the Mass, especially the Jewish Passover and the Jewish hope for the new manna of the Messiah. Both these aspects of ancient Jewish practice and belief can shed light on Catholic eucharistic practice and belief, revealing that there is much more in common between ancient Judaism and present-day Catholicism than there might seem at first glance. (The Jewish Roots of the Mass, Brant Pitre, PhD, Notre Dame Seminary)

Catholics broke with a tradition of language, and then returned to it, regarding the use of God’s revealed Name. The Jewish High Priest was permitted to say the Name of God one time a year. The rest of the year, God’s Name was YHWH, not spelled correctly, or completely, and not used in any trivial manner. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below In the 1960s, part of the abuses which flooded the church after Vatican II was a rush towards a near hootenanny with folk songs, tambourines, etc. During this phase, one of the folk songs that was used rather extensively was “God of My Salvation”:

The Ark and Tabernacle
Walk into a Catholic church, and there will be a candle burning near the Tabernacle. Why? The Ark of the Covenant was always accompanied by a candle.
Why is this important? What was in the Ark? The stone tablets were there, and a sample of the manna from the desert.
,br> What is in a Catholic Tabernacle? The Bread of Life, Christ Himself. How do we know this to be true? Go back to John chapter 6: Jesus tells the people around Him, “You know the bread from heaven that your ancestors ate in the desert? Well, they still died. I am the Bread of Life, my body is real food, whoever eats of my Flesh will never die.” The Tabernacle contains the Bread of Life.

The Jewish Passover is marked by several cups of wine. When Christ blessed the wine, He told the group that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine again until He drank it with them again new. But He drank it when it was offered to Him at the Crucifixion—what does this mean? He was still correct, the last drink of wine was the completion of the Passover meal, the completion or His Sacrifice, and the completion of His purpose.

When He and the Apostles left the table, the Apostles may have thought that they were simply going out to sing some hymns and come back and finish the last cup of wine. They did not get to finish Passover, but Christ did.

I wish all Catholics would pay attention to ALL texts of the Bible. That way, they could worship their made up Mary (the one they worship now is in no way the one of the Bible), and just be honest about it not being biblical:

“Yeah, I bow down to this plastic statue I call “Mary” - hang on a sec and let me get the light inside it turned on - several times a day and ask her to ask God if He would do something for me. So? You gotta a problem with that?”

And, “Yeah, where I come from Jesus is a cracker. A Jewish cracker, but a cracker nonetheless. And I eat that Jesus cracker so that I won’t wind up in hell. My priests turns the wine into blood and I drink that. Not bad, really, once you get past the smell.”

And, “Well, yeah, I know our priests molest the innocent little children and that they, the priests, have a lot of homos in the group. So? You gotta problem with me supporting that?”

Etc., etc., Metmom. You get my point. That way the argument would at least be honest.

We could respond, “Well, the God we worship is Spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and in truth. We don’t chew on Him, but we do “chew” on His words. And we darn sure don’t drink His blood! That is forbidden by Our Lord and Savior.”

You posted the perfect verse from Scripture:

Acts 17:29 Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

[MHGinTN]

You lie to try and win something? You asserted, “ the Jewish rooted Christianity you deny.” Why do you need to lie, to frame my position falsely?... Because you are a liar at heart. Your worship of Mary as a co-mediatrix/co-redeemer is proof enough that the spirit of truth is not in you. And do you actually know the history of replacement theology? Try to use truth as truth, not a tool to be twisted to suit the lies of your religious org cult.

[SouthernClaire]

“Your worship of Mary as a co-mediatrix/co-redeemer is proof enough ...”

A little leaven ...

[MurphsLaw]

Oh really? I'm twisting your words...
What exactly, are the Jewish roots involved in your worship?
I'm really curious to know what elements of Judaism exist in your Faith worship?
Since you are critical and denying of the 2000 year old Church- and it's replacement of Judaism- you should have some fine examples for me.
But do so in a way that you will be able to cover my follow up- of the ANTI-semitism on display TODAY (not centuries ago) in the Evangelical- Non-Denom world you favor...

Because let me tell ya Brother,...

I am in unload mode...

[MHGinTN]

Finally you sneak in a bit of truth about your religion of Catholicism: "Since you are critical and denying of the 2000 year old Church- and it's replacement of Judaism-"

Your heart is too darkened to follow truth so even when I tell you that the trinity was written about by the Essenes and the Zadok priesthood hundreds of years before Jesus was preaching (in the year the Essene priests prophesied for His ministry to begin)you will not believe your religion is falseworld.

The Catholic ORG was established by men, leaking paganism into Christianity to ensnare more pagan membership for monetary goals not spiritual goals, making it no longer Christianity. I liken that spiritual cancer to the transhumanism movement which is dead set on changing humans into something no longer made in God's image.

First, catholicism is not 2000 years old. Two thousand years ago Jesus via the Holy Spirit began His Church, His body of believers in whom the Holy Spirit abides FOREVER. Your religion began to change away from Christianity to churchianity/orgianity when the bishops of local churches/assembled believers insisted that authority be centered in Rome. Well, actually the change began before that but there was no org yet so the inveigling was spread out and introduced by judaisers and nicolaitans, etc., as men realized they could amass power to themselves via religious empowerment; not holy spirit empowerment, religion empowerment. The first great Ekklesia council written of in Acts fifteen is the earliest effort we see of the spirit filled man and women seeking to instruct/authorize/identify the central behavior for Believers among the gentiles.

Your clever wording exposes your beliefs and you are unable to even realize it!

Catholicism is the largest cult on the planet! So paganized has your religion become, what Paul predicted of your religion is glaring forth -that it was an OTHER religion, not the Gospel of the Grace of God in Christ whereby salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone.

You are in a cult; when Jesus comes in hyperdimensional sppacetime to Rapture away the Body of Christ Believers living and dead, our disappearance will cause so many of your false believers to turn to Christ alone by calling out to Him not the catholicism Mary that there will be hundreds of millions of catholics who were not disappeared in the Rapture to be slaughtered by the God haters who survive the horrific chaos the disappearances will cause, with the spirit of lawlesness no longer being restrained in any way. They show up in Heaven under the throne in chapter six of the Revelation of John.

I sincerely hope that if you survive the catastrophes caused by tens of millions disappearing from their employment here in the US maintaining the infrastructure of our civilization, that you will have the humility towards GOD to fall to your knees and beg His forgiveness trusting in Him alone and none of your prideful works.

As for discussing further with you, well I don't usually toss pearls before swine, so you have all the room you want to spew your rafts of falsehoods of Catholicism; God has other things for me to do. When we disappear, don't grab your beads or your scapulae, don't run tio statues of Mary or cluster in catholic edifices to beg the priests for something. Fall on your pride swelled knees and beg God to forgive your blasphemies and save you from spiritual death which will come at your Great White Throne of Judgment appearance. You will get murdered for displaying your faith in Christ alone, but you will be whisked to Heaven in spirit, not throne into the lake of fire later.

[MHGinTN]

Ignorant Catholic, JESUS poured the last cup out, telling the disciples that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine again until in the Kingdom. Passover in the Kingdom will be fresh and new and Holy.

[MHGinTN]

throne should be thrown ... I must have left a letter out and auto correct lumbered in.

[Mark17]

Christ’s church isn’t a gay church.

No it’s not, but the Catholic Church is NOT Christ’s church. You can say what you want about all the sexual perversions of their false religion, but it’s the false doctrines, like the false plan of salvation, that bothers me. Paul warned about the Judaizers messing the gospel up so bad, that it degenerated into another gospel. These are modern day Judaizers, with their pagan worship of the queen of Heaven. Sorry bro, I am just not into syncretic paganism. 😀🤗

[cherry]

I was driven out by the lies of our local diocese....they talked about the priest situation and they just wanted to settle....no trials, no nothing...just give away church money....

we were promised that the individual parishes would not be affected since they're "individual"....

all lies...as soon as they could the diocese slapped bills on each parish that they had to raise no matter if it meant selling property....

so here we are....our "leaders" have left us high and dry.

[Mark17]

Nephilim?

[Mark17]

You will get murdered for displaying your faith in Christ alone, but you will be whisked to Heaven in spirit, not throne into the lake of fire later.

A related thought bro. I tend to think the OSAS pre trib rapture, and the Ezekiel 38,39 war will happen somewhat close together. The world’s Muslims, will see Damascus destroyed, they will see Iran, and other Muslim armies virtually wiped out. I hope millions of Muslims will become disillusioned with Islam, and wake up, and become born again believers. I heard many in Iran are already doing that.

[MHGinTN]

As I understand scriptures the Nephilim were the offspring between human females and fallen angels. But there was much more genetic manipulation happening back then. As said before, God does miracles, Angels use technology, and there are good Angels and bad Angels. The Bad Angels have technology beyond our 4D continuum understanding. But so do the good Angels.

In our times there are genetic changes being planned for the human race. I believe the change is associated with the mark of the beast and is the reason ALL who take to worshipping the beast and receive his mark are doomed as no longer made in God's image, rather then made-over in the image of the beast.

just sayin...

But WHAT are you sayin'?

I give up.
