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.......

One has to wonder whether the bully REALLY believes in this Purgatory bullshit if he’s so eager to—according to his own theology—condemn himself to it over and over just so he can get high on a few seconds of INTERNET RAGE.

We have record of three sons born to Adam: Cain, Abel, and Seth, then more sons and daughters.

Yes, more sons and daughters. I would suspect, a whole huge, gigantic BUNCH more sons and daughters. So many, that I can imagine Eve asking a woman, “who are you?” And she replies, “well, I’m your daughter.” 😀🤗🤭🤗

You got that right! Girls generally weren’t mentioned particularly unless there was a special reason for it.

I’m not being rude, ugly or sarcastic when I say that Adam must’ve said his equivalent of our “WOWZA” when he saw Eve. Probably just stood there for several hours saying it over and over again. God formed her directly and I can’t imagine how beautiful she must have been. I’m thinking she was probably the most perfectly formed and beautiful woman that ever graced this earth, and would put to shame what we call super models today. I’m also sure there would have been no problem making babies ... over and over and over again. :-)

Was the dopamine hit worth another 7 years in Purgatory, or whatever you Catholics believe?

I wonder, if people go to Hell, and think they are in Purgatory, so they think they will eventually get out of the place. Probably not, but who knows?

Here is another issue, that really isn’t important, but I wonder about. Satan is so perverted, that even when he is in the lake of fire, he is so self deceived, that he thinks one day, he will escape the lake of fire, and conquer God. Who knows?

It’s very sad, honestly.

Hates me so much that he’ll eagerly sin and damn himself all the deeper *just* to spite me on the Internet.

Agree. I figure Eve was the most incredibly beautiful, gorgeous sexy woman God ever created. I am sure she really dazzled Adam’s eyes, for centuries. Maybe when God told them to be fruitful and multiply, Adam probably said, alright, let’s go girl. Making babies was something they THOROUGHLY enjoyed. I used to wonder what Adam and Eve did, to occupy their time, for centuries. Well, put two and two together. 😀😊😃 They spent a lot of time, caring for all the babies they made.
Now, the members of a certain religious group, might think Mary was more beautiful than Eve. I doubt it. Mary had a bunch of kids after Jesus was born, but Eve probably had hundreds of children. 😂

 ...by one man sin entered into the world ...

I think that The War in Heaven preceded the 'world'.


Ezekiel 28:12-15

12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

I keep an open mind about it, but since it’s not a salvation issue, I think it’s not that important.

AHhhh...

If we FReepers could only do this about SO many subjects we interpret differently.

I would certainly be talking myself into it.

The thought of eternity in that condition is more than one could bear.

However, I think the level of clarity of reality that will exist once we die, will cause them to realize that’s not the case.

 The Eucharist is Thanksgiving Remembrance for what Christ has done for us- as was the Passover a remembrance of Moses and Co. out of Eygpt

Sorry, but that Last Supper that Jesus attended was merely a Passover.


Luke 22:1, 7–8 ESV 
 
 
  1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover [pascha]. 
 
 
 
  7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover [pascha] lamb had to be sacrificed. 
  8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover [pascha] for us, that we may eat it.”
  9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?”
 10 He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters
 11 and tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover[pascha] with my disciples?’
 12 And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.”

 13 And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover[pascha].

If Rome INSISTS the wafer transubstatieates into REAL FLESH, then obviously the following is true: He eats Jesus...

And we all know what happens to REAL flesh as it passes thru our REAL bodies...


Matthew 15:17 King James Bible

Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? Do they REALLY want to go there??

... I can’t imagine how beautiful she must have been.

Maybe so, but I CAN say with very good reasoning that Adam COULD have said...


DANG! This is the ugliest woman I have EVER seen!
