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.......

Cronos “Do you believe that Jesus was God in Mary’s womb?”

This was in my post #379 Jesus was/is/will always be God.

We Christians believe that Jesus was God in the womb, that’s why His creation is called the God bearer, the Theotokos.

Now a simple question - do you believe that Jesus was God in the womb? Are you unable to answer that?

The Bible states that
Psalm 50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
Do you think that is the literal 1000 hills only?

One thousand as used in biblical books from psalms to the book of Revelation - an especially in the book of the apocalypse which is filled with numers as symbols - one thousand means "man" - or "completely all" -- 1000 = 10 x 10 x 10 -> so as per Judaic numerology, a complete and perfect number.

God owns all the cattle on all the hills in all the valleys which number far more than a thousand.

One thousand cubits is used symbolically four times as the depth of water flowing from below the threshold of the temple (Ezekiel 47:3-6).

In addition you see the symbolic usage of one thousand in Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 84:10, 90:4, 91:7, 105:8

This was clearly "very large" not a precise 1000 .

I ain't the guy that penned: Revelation 122:18-19
Firstly - you mean chapter 22, not 122

Secondly, that verse refers to the book of the Apocalypse of St. John of Patmos, not to the collection of books that is the Bible

You do realize that the Bible is a collection of 73 distinct books, right?

Call no man father seems to be quite unfocused as well.

I'll leave, "This is my body..." for another time.

I 'realize' that Rome messed up by NOT finding more of them, and has had to rely on 'tradition' to try to get it control solidified.

You can’t read my posts can you?

I already answered that.

Don’t blame me for your apparent illiteracy.

The poster was just being its usual taunting, badgering egotistical self righteous self. It spouts preterism and claims to not know what that is.

Now, now, Elsie. Don’t cry. You know I take 5 days a year to go back on everything you’ve posted and enter it all into my “Elsie’s Exquisite Expositions” catalogue for posterity’s sake ... and in the hopes they can understand it better than all of us do.

(Luv ya, bro.)

Maryism too, considering that the average Catholic spends ten times as long praising Mary as they do the Lord.

I’ve seen writings through the years that, unless you already knew it was something about Jesus, that is, Mary being His mother, you would not have had a clue that He was in the mind of the author.

Because it is idolatry and blasphemous, Catholics lie to the world and themselves, claiming they do not worship their Mary demigoddess.

Yep. And I’m amazed that they’re able to lie to themselves about it so easily by calling it “adoration” or something else or another. ‘Tis what it ‘tis, brother: Worship.

“Tis what it ‘tis, brother: Worship.”

And idolatry. And blasphemy.
