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.......

That’s so idiotic that only you could truly believe it.

Let me try to explain this to you on this topic: You nor anyone else who takes the mark will be fooled into doing it. God does not operate that way. People who take it will take it in allegiance to the antichrist.

Phil’s Reading List:

“Book of Revelation”

And who is the Antichrist power?

And what is their SELF-STATED mark of authority?

People will take the mark of the beast because they will not believe the truth.

You don’t even know if you’re saved now, so why worry about it. Shouldn’t you first figure out how many times you can commit a sin and repent, and commit it again before God disowns you? Should not that be most important on “Phil’s Little List of Idiotic Things to Mumble?”

No, Darby wasn’t the initial source of the PTR. It was the Jesuits, by way of Lucifer.

Francisco Ribera (Jesuit)
Cardinal Robert Bellarmine (Jesuit)
Michael Walpole (Jesuit)
Manuel De Lacunza (Jesuit)
Edward Irving
Margaret McDonald (ecstatic utterances)
Samuel Roffey Maitland
James H. Todd
John Henry Newman
John Nelson Darby
Arno C. Gaebelein
Cyrus Ingerson Scofield
Lewis Sperry Chafer

Dallas Theological Seminary is the key place where the Jesuit concepts were taught to thousands of Pastors, including today’s top TV and radio personalities.

Hey, Andy Woods went there. Imagine that.

Phil’s cult and your rapture philosophy are two sides of the same 19th century philosophy based on Darbyism.

Your belief in the pre tribulation rapture is biblically and historically false.

How’s that whole Mary worship and Pope thing working out for you? YOUR entire belief system goes against the entire Bible, so I wouldn’t be pointing any fingers if I were you.

You’ve been proven wrong so many times on the pre-trib rapture that I’m surprised you’re not full of embarrassment to keep posting the same lies. That would take shame and humility, though, so never mind.

That didn’t stop the CC from accepting the SDA’s gold, did it?

——>Phil’s “church” bows down to Cronos’ “church”

Every one of you OSASers that hold Sunday as sacred, and hates the 7th-day-Sabbath, LITERALLY pledges allegiance to Lucifer, and you don’t even realize you’re doing it.

- - - - - -

And yet wasn’t it the SDA who bowed to the Pope and paid gold tribute?

How do you square that with the above, Phil?

Y’all need to get your heads together and figure out which lie to stick with it.

Wow, lotta posts while I was asleep.

Not in the mood to read blasphemy this morning; did Phil address his self-contradictory BS about calendars or did he just pretend it never happened?

Mornin’ Lu. He posted his usual drivel. Still won’t answer how many times he can commit the same sin before God disowns him. Same old. Nothing new in any of it.

You’d think a Roman Dude would care that his leadership is homosexual and protected under the past 5 popes minimum.

Nope!

You’d think a SADventist would care that their false prophet stole, violated the rules she claimed were from God, etc.

Nope!

It’s always “Look over there!!!”

Got news for them.

God’s Church isn’t the one with a gay priesthood.

It’s not the one with the false prophet.

Very sad.

Amen, amen & amen to your posts, AMPU.

Looks as if they’d give their very souls to protect their organizations. Sad, indeed.

well the thing is that the Adventist group is the result of two distinct yet related streams.

The first stream is the Reformation - Luther initially thought that he would create a reformed church under him, with his teachings. This was shattered by Calvin, who was shattered by the Anabaptists who were shattered by the Brethren (Unitarians).
— More specifically Luther held that the church went off the rails in the middle ages. Then Calvin pushed it back to the early middle ages.
Then the Anabaptists pushed it to the 4th century and the Adventists and Jehovah’s witnesses pushed it back to the first century.

Second - as I mentioned above, the rapture philosophy, with different Millerite groups trying to one-up each other.

These two streams came to effect with the Adventists and the Jehovah’s Wutnesses both claiming that the church went off the rails in the first century and that Jesus had returned at some point in the 1800s or early 1900s.

The Jwut’s went further by even denying the divinity of Jesus, and so too did (and arguably does) the Adventists, with their merging of Michael and Jesus.

This is natural progression of ideas - if the first mover in a marketplace says “one razor blade? here’s two”, then next guy comes with more and more.

The same with the concept of “when did it get corrupteD” - the first guy “just a little before me”, then the next guy takes it further and futher.
