‘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.......

you seem not to want to read verse two.
I’m doing the same thing with a big blowtorch weed burning thingy.
I’ve lost the adjust knob (now use pliers)
The squeeze valve handle disappeared into the grass somewhere and the hose has been chewed on by squirrels(?)
I’ve bought hose, brass fittings, more hose, and a final hose.
The nozzle is just about rusted completely thru and I just realized I could have bought a new one for what I’ve been jacking around trying to keep this old one going.
Well, at LEAST I now have a 25’ hose insrtead of a 10’ one.
Well heck, Elsie. That thing should also be able to make a nice cup of Joe rather quickly!
I’ll just leave it up to the other posters to broaden your understanding of what happened, and the parties involved in the Garden of Eden - cause there’s a whole slew of things they can unpack ....how ever I tend to think you don’t have eyes to see - yet.
Adage?
We need Mormon input on this!
What were they BEFORE?
Remember they could eat from ANY of the trees but the one?
And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” Genesis 3:22
Looks like A&E were 'mortal' but had the chance, before they sinned, to live forever.
I did read it. It doesn’t change anything. If you think it does, tell me why.
You seem to think god actually said it instead of Eve actually saying it.
Genesis 3:17So wives; now you know why we men are the way we are.To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you...
Just trying to atone for the original sin!
I’m being serious here...
Do you have a cognitive disorder that affects your short term memory? I discussed this topic (other than Enoch) with you not to long ago. It amazes me that you can’t remember the specifics. It’s happened in other posts as well. You should see a neurologist. I know what I’m talking about.
As far as Enoch, Moses, Elijah, and all those saints who were raised from the dead at the resurrection of Christ, and are in heaven, they were judged worthy and ALREADY TRANSLATED. They are pure. No longer sinners or sinful. Covered by the Grace of Jesus Christ. No problem if Enoch wants to hang out with unfallen beings.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
——>You seem to think god actually said it instead of Eve actually saying it.
No, Eve said it. But how did Moses know she said it?
Are you expressing doubt about the Word of God?
It is appointed unto men once to die. There are just two deaths mentioned in scripture. In Revelation 20 describes the second death. Where is the evidence that Adam died twice? The second death is avoidable even for Adam. Some people say there are three deaths. I’m looking for support from scripture.
Why didn’t Adam eat from the “tree of life” when he had the chance? God does not instruct us to eat from the tree of life, but rather to take freely(Galatians3:21).
It is you who has a problem, not Southern Claire.
Catholic cult fantasy.
