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.......

Here, I'll untuck it for you, and for all to see (nothing I haven't posted multiple times anyway).

And of course, the Levitical dietary laws, which are NOT ceremonial, but instead related to God’s and our holiness (be holy, for I am holy).

LOL!

19The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; 20idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

I wonder if this includes crawling on all fours and barking like a dog.

While you’re asking Phil about which laws to keep and who picked what and such, you should ask him about the Selective Sabbath Rules for and by Phil.

He can work on the Sabbath and then claim he’s keeping the Sabbath and so should everyone else, EXCEPT others shouldn’t work on the Sabbath like him because he is in the medical field and it’s necessary to others (no other nurse around to fill his shoes). I’m sure he refuses pay for the Sabbath Days he works. He also gets to use the Internet. And drive. And, well, I guess it’s ...

“Easy Sabbath Keeping,” by our very own Phil.

Epheisans 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;

Have you noticed that the first law of commandments was dead on arrival? It was a shadow. Man cannot survive under God’s pure law so it was replaced with the second set of tables tempered with grace and mercy.

I guess you are in like Flynn then.

According to my PRE-cise calculations, 😀 you mean in like Flint (James Coburn) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Like_Flint
Other than that, this is a genuine, once saved, always saved, pre trib rapture, Mr Haney, guaranteed not to rust, rot, or mildew for 90 days of your money back, insertive discussion, non judicial punishment type judgment, PLACEMAKER. 👍😂

Isn’t that similar to what Nebuchadnezzar did? I am the eternal optimist. What did Nebuchadnezzar do when his mind was restored? He praised God. I hope he did this out of true faith and repentance. We don’t know for sure, but I hope we see him in the resurrection. 👍

He also gets to use the Internet. And drive.

Is it the 11th and 12th commandments, that say, thou shalt not use the internet, or drive on the sabbath?
Can you you imagine Lucifer, coming up to Eve in the garden of Eden, asking her, yea hath God said, thou shalt not use the internet or drive on the sabbath? Eve would have replied, riiiggghhhtt. What’s an internet? That wouldn’t have gone over well. 🤪

First law of commandments?
Dead on arrival?
Second set of tables?

Not sure what you mean here. Please explain further.

You must have overlooked post 3463:

19The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; 20idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

What say you, Phil?

Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. That’s in the Lord’s judgment, not mine.

My point is that YOU make the rules for what you call Sabbath-keeping for you. Whatever is an inconvenience to you, you simply bandage over. You miss the point of the Sabbath entirely.

I don’t think it’s necessary that I comment on your personal life. That’s kind of gross if you ask me.

You literally have no idea what you are talking about. Stick with your pork chops and bacon.

“Stick with your pork chops and bacon.” Like Miss Ellen and her pork consumption?

Go on, then, Phil. Explain how you get to do work (for pay) and other of what you do during the week and still, somehow, say you’re “keeping the Sabbath.”

Is it sin? Would it keep me out of heaven?
