‘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.......

Oh, well. Maybe one day, Els!
You obviously cheated and actually READ the ‘verse’!
Catholics are merely TOLD what it means.
Gee whiz bro, I said 3rd Tobias, not 3rd Tobit. 😀🤗 Actually, I was thinking of brother Tobias from “They Call Me Trinity,” and don’t call me bambino. 😀
You've been taught this is PRAYER?
Then it's no wonder you guys now have Francis for a pope!
White Knighting is kinda sad.
I’m sure Murphs can defend himself.
You, on the other hand, have done yet another ‘no u’ post, which only serves to confirm in my mind that you have nothing left but bluster.
Catholics don’t worship a denomination - we worship the Christ, the High Priest at every mass. By the same measure I would say that you worship the Baptist denomination, person X worships OPC, person Y worships her/his own opinion something etc - because you defend your position, that’s the nature of an online forum
Dude looks like he took up residence on the moon.
well, Frankie will be gone.
But you have you for your own Pope, eh? :)
Chill and take a sip from the Holy Grail, it mattereth not, as the whiffs are only going in your general direction.
It’s a simple question - “In Mary’s womb, was Jesus God?”
Are you unable to answer that?
***
I’m still waiting for you to tell me the logical leap where you got that question from and getting ready to laugh at you when you can’t.
It’s pretty pathetic that you’re sitting there whining that I’m not participating in your little script no matter how many strawmen you’ve tried to set up with my name on them.
Accusing me of something I didn’t actually do is a sin, you know.
Ah!
Today is a new day!
Mere flesh wounds will undoubtedly abound!
Dude - look at the plank in yer own eye, you still don’t want to answer the simple question “Do you believe that Jesus was God in Mary’s womb?”
Very simple for people who believe in the divinity of Jesus.
But it seems to be difficult for you to answer...
We said. Let me clarify what I meant. By saying I didn’t connect Salvation with the Catholic Church, I simply meant that I KNEW positively, that I was an unsaved Catholic. That’s all I meant by not connecting Salvation with the church. I knew I didn’t have it. Now, I am a OSAS kind of dude. 🤭🤗
(I don’t have the guts to actually eviscerate someone.)
It should be easy for you to tell me why you’re asking that question first.
But for some reason you refuse to do so.
Could it be because you’re assuming that I hold a position that I never actually argued?
Or in other words, a STRAWMAN?
Poor ole Frankie. His own people putting him down so much these days. Is that permitted in your organization, Cronos? Isn’t he supposed to be some kind of holy father to you all?
It must be morning over there, as the posts are flying out of the thread in droves 😀👍 It’s almost 9 PM here.
GMTA!
Actually, it looks like Harvey Korman. 😀
