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.......

Mornin’, bro. How’s it going?

——>So you were lying when you said that the Sabbath is independent of any calendar.

Still telling the truth. The 7th-day-Sabbath still is, and always has been, INDEPENDENT of any calendar.

——>After all, MHGinTN showed you evidence that there was disagreement in ancient Judiasm between the Pharisees and Essenes about which day actually was the Sabbath.

Jesus knew what day the Sabbath was on. No confusion, no issues. Do you think He would just let the Jews keep breaking the Sabbath commandment and not tell them? And, MHG follows known grifters like Andy Woods and Ken Johnson. Both of them knowingly LIE in withholding ECF statements on the Restrainer of the Antichrist.

——>And you’re claiming that the Pharisees were correct and we have to stick with their calendar, in spite of your claims about independence.

Nope. But I’ve often stated that you are a Pharisee, and not a very smart one at that. (That’s what I’m claiming).

Has the original Bible Sabbath been lost?

The modern observance of Easter

In the 2000-year interval between Christ’s day and ours, it would have been impossible for the true seventh day to have been lost, for some very significant reasons.

The world-wide, modern observance of Easter, which commemorates Christ’s Crucifixion on Good Friday; His rest in the tomb on Easter Saturday, and His resurrection on Easter Sunday. This observance is a public, irrefutable witness to the fact that the true seventh day has not been lost at any time during the Christian Age,

Three further evidences supplement the testimony of Easter.

Three remarkably-harmonious calendars have been in operation side-by-side for most of the Christian era. These are the Jewish, the Christian, and the Mohammedan calendars. Though they differ in some respects, they all agree about the order of the days of the week. Saturday, for them all, corresponds with the seventh day!

No calendar-change has altered the normal free-running order of the days of the week. For example, the sole change of the calendar in the Christian era, from the “Old Style” (Julian) to the “New Style” (Gregorian) - adopted in parts of Europe in 1582, and in England in 1752 - made a long-needed adjustment by dropping several calendar dates from one month. However, the adjustment affected the dates of the month, not the days of the week. One month was shortened, but there was no interference whatsoever with either the order or the names of the days of the week.

Finally, to remove the last lingering shadow of a doubt, the Science of Astronomy adds its authoritative verdict. If a modern astronomer were to be confined to six months in an underground cavern, without clocks, or calendars, or instruments of any kind, so that he lost all count of days, a few hours back in his observatory would enable him to tell precisely what day of the week it was! Drawing on his past knowledge of the heavens, though without any reference to printed calendars, he could relocate himself in time solely by checking the position and movement of the heavenly bodies.

Conclusion

One person, living in isolation without a calendar - whether Jew, Moslem or Christian - might conceivably lose track of a day, or several days, and thus become confused about which day of the week it was. However, immediately he renewed contact with relatives and friends, they would quickly point out his error and put him right. Individuals, communities and nations keep an automatic check on each other in this matter of time-determination, so that the losing of the seventh day or any other day of the week, on a universal basis, is a sheer impossibility!

——>Clueless calendar keepers don’t consider the concept that we are not using the same calendar that God told Moses to keep.

Clueless 7th-day-Sabbath HATERS can’t seem to understand that the 7th-day-Sabbath falls at the end of a 7 day week, AS IT HAS SINCE CREATION, and is therefore INDEPENDENT OF ANY KNOWN CALENDAR or calendar change. The 7 day week has never been interrupted. Haters gonna hate.

[Philsworld]

——>And what about adjustments for leap years and other adjustments every few hundred years to keep the calendar on track?

Again, the 7 day week is NEVER interrupted. It and the 7th-day-Sabbath are TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT of any calendar or calendar change. From Creation to now...

——>Colossians 2:16-23 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

Paul was quoting Ezekiel 45:17 and speaking about CEREMONIAL festivals, sabbaths, etc...NOT the 7th-day-Sabbath. The key to understanding Colossians 2 is the phrase THESE ARE A SHADOW OF THE THINGS TO COME, BUT HE SUBSTANCE BELONGS TO CHRIST.

Ezekiel 45:17And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.

How all of you must truly hate Jesus Christ’s 7th-day-Sabbath. Shame on you.

This coming from the man who’s stupid enough to believe that Ellen G. OtherWhiteMeat went to Jupiter?

I’ll take that as a compliment.

So you’re telling me that what Paul REALLY meant was the exact opposite of what he actually wrote.

Pull the other one; it’s got bells on.

Phil, you’re still a lying LAWLESS LAWBREAKER.

[Luircin]

That’s a lot of exclamation marks. What I’d expect to see from a 5 year old who just learned how to use the shift key.

A Philtdown first thing in the morning! What a blessing to see a freakout from our favorite lawless punching bag. Thank you for proving once again how stupid SDAism is.

[Luircin]

Among those on this thread, Phil, there is only one of us who spends his Saturdays babbling about fecal matter like some kind of closet coprophiliac.

And he’s the one who thinks people live on Jupiter.

Says a lot about you that you prefer poop to the Word of God. Just saying.

Mornin’, bro. How’s it going?

It’s almost 11 PM in this south sea island paradise. 🥹🤭

[SouthernClaire]

Lucky thang, you.

[Mark17]

I’ll take that as a compliment.

You should bro. I don’t care if someone considers one day more important than another, or if they worry about some investigative discourse, or if they believe some false prophet. I just don’t care a hill of beans bro. The bottom line bro, is that, I don’t believe any of that. I am just not into false religions. 😀😂🤓😃
Have a nice, OSAS, pre trib rapture kind of day placemaker. 👍

LOL ‘other white meat’ ... LOL

[Luircin]

I’m seriously envious. I’m actually on the spectrum, and Phil screeches in a way that puts me to shame.

[Philsworld]

Hahahahahahahahaha, One Trick Ponies ready for the glue factory. All either of you have left are insults. I win, again.

[Luircin]

All either of you have left are insults. I win, again.

Plagiarizing me again, are you? Thou shalt not steal, Phil.

Of course, this coming from crybaby who has screaming meltdowns every day, I’d say that you ran out of everything but insults months ago.

[Luircin]

Let me make it plain to you.

For months on end, you’ve been insulting, stalking, strawmanning, rageposting, threatening, and holding other people to standards that you yourself refuse to uphold.

(And now you’re whining that you’re being treated in the same way you’ve treated everyone else, but that’s beside the current point.)

You ran out of goodwill a long time ago. You’re never going to convince any of us because you’re nothing more than a source of amusement. You’re a clown who can’t see his own red nose, and that’s how you are treated.
