‘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.......

“I would say that you worship the Baptist denomination”
I was raised Baptist, but have attended churches of other denominations if their doctrine is more fundamental than local Baptist churches. Don’t worship “Baptist”.
We don’t call Baptist churches “THE Church”, either, as RCs do. “THE Church”, is the whole body of Christ (Christ is the Head), i.e., all born-again believers no matter the denomination.
No but I have been to Ciudad Acuna and Piedras Negras. Oh yes, I have also been to Saigon/Cholon, and China Town Bajada.
I would say, however, the most interesting trip I took, was to Berlin. We went through checkpoint Alpha at Helmstedt, drove 110 miles, of the most drab country I ever saw. At checkpoint Bravo, all the Russian soldiers were trying to sell us Soviet army belt buckles. What a bunch of capitalistic pigs. According to SOFA, we were allowed into east Berlin, the Soviet sector, but we had to wear our Air Force uniforms. At checkpoint Charlie, the sign, in English, French, German and Russian, rather poignantly said, “you are leaving the American sector.”
Along with us, was the most beautiful, black female Ssgt I ever saw, all decked out in her Air Force dress blues. Those East German men, were generally a bunch of sexists, but were looking at her, and trying to get her attention, trying to talk to her in German. It was comical.
None shall pass.
Not likely bro. 😂😀
The 1500s is when the Reformation began, when unwashed could see the scriptures, even in their own tongue and started to see the Papacy, and Pope, as Antichrist.
You want me to go back then?
Fine.
Your Antichrist isn’t any less Antichrist now, 500 years later,or about 2,000 years since the Passover Lamb’s death, burial and resurrection.
Except Your Antichrist has a calendar that the first protesters of Rome never had to live under.
Cronos, you’re flailing.
You were born about 2,000 years since the Passover Lamb’s death,burial and resurrection.
That’s about 2 days as He counts.
Your Antichrist’s time is almost up.
The Beast’s time is almost up
Satan’s time is almost up
The about 2,000 cubits of distance is almost up.
The about 2,000 demon possessed swine years are almost up.
So is things like Christmas and New Years Day and Ground Hog Day, 3 holy days for the Antichrist, are almost up.
So is Good Frigg day and Holy Saturn Day and Easter Sunday, 3 holy days for the Antichrist, Are almost up.
Say hello to New Moon Days, Sabbath’s and Feasts like Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits, the Fathers 6th,7th,1st days The Father’s Word Made Flesh
The Father’s first/chief importance of the gospel
In accordance with the scriptures..
Take heart,you have a lot of company.
Islam,Judaism and all Christianity need a major reformation..
Haven’t we told them that, about 4 million times, and they still don’t get it?
Eating Jesus does not impart eternal life.
Jesus, right here, at the end of the discussion, tells exactly what does give eternal life, and it’s the Holy Spirit, not eating anything.
This verse where He says this, has been posted a multitude of times already and I have yet to see a single Catholic not ignore it as if it never got posted.
They NEVER respond to it. And really, they can’t because Jesus right here, demolishes their whole eating Jesus theology.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.
Read that.
It’s the Spirit who gives life. The flesh does no good. Eating is not going to help because spiritual life is given only by the Holy Spirit.
Really. I keep telling myself that they KNOW the truth; they just choose not to accept it. You can only do what you can do and then leave it up to the Holy Spirit.
How many times can someone hear the Gospel and reject it (thereby committing the true unpardonable sin) before it’s too late? I’d like to think that it’s “infinity”, but some believe that one of those times is “God’s final call” for that person. I don’t know.
+1
Let’s just cut to the chase. I’ve read this script before. Let me tell you how it’s turned out the last... say, 6 times that Catholics have started in the way that you’re going now.
Me: All these flowery titles that you’re giving to Mary make it look like you’re turning Jesus into just some kind of accessory for her.
RCC: WELL IS JESUS GOD!?
Me: Yes, and I’m wondering why you’re not spending time referring to Christ as the Lion of Judah, or the Risen One, or God the Son, or the Lamb of God, or our High Priest or various other titles when you refer to the Lord, but you’re spending lots of time adding titles to Mary in casual conversation.
RCC: HURR HURR, THEN WE SHOULD CALL MARY MOTHER OF GOD.
Me: When did I ever mention that at all?
RCC: HURR HURR, STUPID LUTHERAN SAYS THAT JESUS ISN’T GOD.
So judging from past performance of your Roman fellows using the exact same words as you have, is there any reason that I should expect anything different from you?
I don’t know for sure either, but I suspect that one can hear the true gospel, a number of times, before God gives them over to a reprobate mind. I think, when that happens, they become unredeemable.
BTW, you might stop lying about the pretrib Rapture if you actuall read the writings opf Victor from I think the fourth century AD, regarding the Rapture and the Tribulation. But then, you are not about truth your are about promoting your father's methodology, lying.
That’s a sensible aspect. Thanks. I used to sing a song by John Peterson back in the ‘70s, and it haunts me a bit.
“Someday you’ll hear God’s Final Call to you
To take his offer of salvation true-
This could be it my friend if you but knew-
God’s Final Call, God’s Final Call
How can you live another day in sin,
Thinking some day with Christ you will begin?
O will you hear above the world’s loud din-
God’s Final Call, God’s Final Call
If you reject God’s Final Call of grace,
You’ll have no chance your footsteps to retrace
All hope will then be gone and doom you’ll face.
O hear his call! God’s Final Call”
Repeating a blasphemy a million times does not make it not blasphemy. God told us to not eat the blood. Your religion not only contradicts God’s admonition, it goes even further in defiance to God by teaching the adherents to your religion that they can get the divinity of God through their stomachs by eating the wafer transmogrified into the flesh and divinity of Jesus! The pagan worshipers of idols and Roman gods and goddesses already had that lie during the time Paul was converting many to Christ, Son of the God Who must be worshiped in spirit and truth ... and your blasphemies do neither.
As it should ALL of us!
We have WORK to do!!
The world is dying around us and we sit at our keyboards and bicker!!!
Let's hit the streets and bicker in person!!!!
We’ve told you a billion times not to exaggerate
MEGO3 would have occured with me LONG before this time had passed.
Old bad eyes ... should be minute 32:52 ... I don’t think I have ever seen a video on religion that ran three plus hours. YMMV
