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.......

Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces. OK, powerful graces, but are these graces more powerful than signal graces? Gee whiz bro, how many different kinds of graces are there? I am confused bro. You need to unconfuse me. How did I ever get so confused? If some graces are more powerful than others, I want the strongest graces I can get, so my stay in purgatory will be shorter. Will people who go to Hell, actually think they are in Purgatory? I wonder how long it will take for them to clue themselves in, that they are not in Purgatory, but in Hell?
Maybe I am ok, cuz I have already been to Purgatory. It has nice ski slopes. 😀😃

Where do we EVER find an angel praying for someone? I am not sure bro, but I may have run across it, in 3rd Tobias 5:1, you know, the hook between Malachi and Matthew. I think it was exactly 200 years after Malachi and 200 years before Matthew. Actually, I think Tobias was under the impression, that he had a private interpretation, so he had the green light, to write all the scriptures his little heart desired. 😀🤗🤭😂

Yes nice post...
Nice deflection...
My dark heart is fine with your insults...
But it won't distract me... Now quit farting around...
And TELL ME how your faith worship is more rooted in Judaism the my Catholic Mass as you claim...
Support you claims, or all you have is insubstantial pretense.

As I understand scriptures the Nephilim were the offspring between human females and fallen angels. But there was much more genetic manipulation happening back then. That’s the way I understand it too bro. I always wondered how the fallen angels ever got the human women to do sex with them. Someone said the human race had become so corrupt, the people were seeking relationships with fallen angels. That’s how the Nephilim came about.
I do agree, that there was much more evil going on. I think genetic manipulation, might have produced evil things like the Minotaurs, Centaurs, unicorns and mermaids, to name a few. I think the Flood happened, to wipe out the Nephilim, but also to wipe out these hideous genetic monsters.
I think genetic manipulation is going on now too.

LOL, are you stamping your widdle feet as you type that demand? You miss-characterize my religious beliefs then expect me to defend the twists you make? LOL, so very typical.
The truth is not in you.

But here’s a little hint: I do not pretend to eat the real flesh or blood of Jesus ... the admonitions against that cannibalizing feat are all over the first five books of the Hebrew Bible and thus also in my Bible. Your cultic blasphemy is duly noted, Catholic.

Thanks for putting in all those “it is written” things. I do not, however think it penetrates a spiritually dead, close minded, Catholic brain. Since I am an ex Catholic, I know what it’s like to be a spiritually dead Catholic. Things are different now. I am an ex spiritually dead person 😀😊

Ever.
Tobit 12 12
So now when you and Sarah prayed,
it was I (Raphael) who brought and read[a] the record of your prayer before the glory of the Lord, and likewise whenever you would bury the dead.

Placemarker ... this should be interesting, given that aphael does not claim to pray for them, merely bring THEIR prayer before the Lord.

But here’s a little hint: I do not pretend to eat the real flesh or blood of Jesus .
here's a bigger hint:
Did not the JEWISH Zadok priests of Qumran consume a ritually Blessed meal of Bread and wine in preparation for the Messiah?
The answer is a documented YES.
AND didn't Christ SAY HE CAME TO- and Did- FULFILL ALL THE LAW AND PROPHETS?
You know this about the Essenes... why do you pretend you don't?
So try again- don't tell me about what you don’t do...
What DO YOU do that is more relevant to Judaism the my Catholic Mass?, as you have claimed.

Bless your little soul, I even eat a ritual meal of bread and wine, to remember what my Savior gave at the cross for me! The Essenes would not commit the blasphemy of believing they eat the actual flesh and blood of Messiah. But you have to try to bring everything down to the level of your religion’s blasphemy, eh? Sad you are so spiritually dead in such a hideous cult rife with heresies and blasphemies, but there it is.

Stop farting around...
Either show me how you man-made Faith Worship
has a more relevant Judaic nature then my Catholic Mass-
or retract your claim.
