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.......

Let me make it even more plain to you...

You are a ONE TRICK PHONIE. You pretend on this site to be some kind of “religious expert” Same for AMPU and MHG. However, when the tough questions are asked, you collapse like a termite-ridden horse barn. You get angry and lash out. You are an embarrassment. You have no answers other than gibberish. You should see a psychiatrist, if you don’t already see one. And if you do, have him or her up your doses of meds, or try some new ones. You also appear to truly hate Catholics (and SDA’s). You need to get a handle on that. You need professional help, and I mean that sincerely.

I only read 10% of what you post anyway, so I may have missed it. So, if I don’t remember you ever saying it, IT’S NOT PLAGIARISM. LOL Dude. Why are you so angry all the time?

Who/what else should I add to your hate list?

God’s law
Catholics
SDA’s
Mormons

Just lookit the angry little Phil, accusing other people of hate when he’s spent months rageposting foamy hatred at those same people.

This is why you have no respect among us, Phil.

Not that you’d ever understand it anyway, as one who hates God’s law.....

You almost certainly (should be officially diagnosed by a psychiatrist) have an Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD). You might be bipolar. Mention that to your psychiatrist the next time you see him/her. Just get help Luircin.

Phil? I don’t care.

You’re a clown in my eyes remember? Anything you post doesn’t matter to me other than to laugh at because I do not respect you at all.

Doesn’t surprise me. That’s the same attitude you take with God’s law, hate and disrespect.

Yep, don’t feed the troll. Mostly, I don’t really even know what he says, cuz I don’t read his posts. There isn’t anything said, that I am interested in hearing. 👍😂🤪 Now, if you will excuse me, I have go prepare for my explosive discovery. Or is that investigative dissertation? I can’t remember what it really is. 🤭🥩🥓🍳🤗

On second thought, here is another opinion. I think the troll does much damage to the image of SAD. At one time, only a few months ago, I had a positive view of SAD. I certainly don’t now. By all means, continue. 👍

Much like several of the local Catholics who think that they’re defending their cults by screaming foaming rage instead of actually acting like Catholics are (supposedly) supposed to act.

If they don’t even bother to follow the rules of their own religion, why should they expect anyone else to believe it’s true?

To be fair a very small cadre do that, not the majority of Catholic Freepers.
