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.......

“LDS or SDA? I have trouble keeping charismatic leaders separate.”

And then there’s the cult Pope guy.

Basically, if you’ve got a mortal as head of your church, you’ve got a cult, Baby.

Garbage and fecal material eventually sink to the bottom in the ocean, especially the coastal oceans. Following W C Fields’s lead, I do not eat oysters which live int he muck of coastal ocean bottom.

LDS or SDA?

I have trouble keeping charismatic leaders separate.

You have trouble keeping EGW and Joe Smith separate? They don’t look alike bro. 😀🤗😃😂🤭 I suppose, however, if you REALLY can’t keep them separate, maybe you could meander off to Jupiter, and ask the 6 foot quakers for help. Wait a minute. 6 foot quakers? It would appear that I am also having some trouble keeping them separate.
Why don’t we do this. We know EGW was from out of this world anyway. Let’s catch a ride on the next space shuttle to Mars. Or is it Jupiter? I can’t keep them separate either, but we will probably see her up there. Gee whiz bro, I am confused. It’s your job to unconfuse me. 😀🤭😂

Gee whiz bro. I know Ellen G White was one screwed up individual, but did she make a trip to Uranus too. My goodness bro. It’s worse than I thought. First, it’s 6 foot Mormons on the moon, to people living on the sun. Then it’s EGW and Enoch on Jupiter, or was it one of the moons? I can’t keep them separated. Now it’s Uranus. Agghhh. I am going to freak out bro. Life on all these planets and moons. I can’t take it anymore bro. When is the next flight to Jupiter? I am packed and ready to go. I choose the non smoking section.
I hear they have a great inflight meal, though, do you suppose only one inflight meal, will be enough for the entire flight to Jupiter? I hope Ellen G White is still there. I want to meet her and ask her where she got this doctrine, called internal digestion, or international generosity, or investigative discovery or investigative judgment. I can’t keep them separate bro. We need to get to Jupiter ASAP. It really IS on my bucket list. 😀😃👍

The greatest want of the world is the want of men—men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.

Prozac, schmozak. I don’t care about that. I just want to get to Jupiter, or Jupiter’s moon. I want to meet Enoch and see if EGW had any influence on Enoch. Maybe Enoch was, under EGW’s tutelage, actually the one, who came up with the intersectional reality, or underscored ability, or internet capability, upstanding individuals, or internal judgmentalism. I just can’t remember what they call it now. What a bummer. Does anyone have as much trouble as I do, trying to keep EGW honest? Actually, I think it is impossible, to keep EGW honest.
Maybe you can make sure you get reservations, for round trip tickets to Jupiter. That would be nice bro. Make the reservations today. 👍😀

I thought only Muzzies didn’t eat pork? Of course, I have known a few who did. It’s been so many decades since I was a Catholic, I don’t know if they still eat fish on Fridays. 🤗

Always a great day when you wake up not under the Law, pretending you are keeping it, soaking in barrels, etc.

BUT the 4th is a great day to be free in every way - a freedom you would never have as a SADventist!🇺🇸🥓😎
