‘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.......

“Manifestly unrepentant sinner”?
Who are you to make such a judgement, Lurch?
Jim Jones, perhaps?
Interesting point.
Why are you so angry that I’m defending the name of God from someone who’s blaspheming Him?
I’m not the one judging other people’s souls, Lurch.
Take a pill and get some rest.
I’m not the one judging other people’s souls, Lurch.
***
Yes you are.
But besides that, all I’m judging is your actions.
Which is the sin of blasphemy, that you haven’t repented of.
And I know this is true, because someone who’s repented of that sin would have corrected the blasphemy. Even just an, ‘I meant to say’ would have been enough.
You haven’t.
It’s really sad that you hate me so much that you will add sin onto sin onto sin just to spite me, especially since you’re only making me laugh.
“I’m not the one judging other people’s souls, Lurch.”

“I repeat, you’re a lost cause.”
***
Behold, another unrepentant sin from ebb tide.
It’s amazing how he hates me so much that according to his own religion, he’s throwing himself into Hell solely for the sake of saying something nasty to me.
Just stating facts.
Judas was a lost cause, also.
Awww, am I being “nasty” to poor ol’ Lurch?
The one who accuses me of being a “manifestly unrepentant sinner” and has falsely accused me of blasphemy?
Grow up!
Go ebb, embrace that hypocrisy!
Proudly declare that you’re eager to go to Hell if it means spiting me!
You make Mary ashamed of you.
I’m not the denigrating Christ’s Mother, Lurch.
You really are.
Let’s assume for the moment that Mary knows what you’re up to right now.
Mary would hate that you got so angry that you implied that God has to pray to someone else.
Mary would hate your hypocrisy by insisting that no one can judge souls but God... right on the heels of you judging someone’s soul.
Your own actions say that should you die, you’re going suffer eternal damnation, ebb. Your own religion says that your sins committed this night will send you into the eternal fire, unless you repent.
And you have refused to repent. You’ve done nothing but make excuses and dig yourself deeper.
Is it really worth it just to spite me, ebb?
Simple question, Lurch:
Who did Jesus Christ pray to in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before His passion and crucifixion?
Put up or shut-up with your false “blasphemy” accusations.
Try to change the subject all you want; your sin is there in black and white.
It’s sad that you’re so proud that you’ll send yourself to Hell to avoid simply correcting your own words.
It’s pathetic that you hate me so much that you’ll commit sin after sin just to throw childish insults at me that slide right off my back.
Your own actions are going to send you to Hell, and that’s sad.
Goodnight ebb; if you die tonight you’ll wake in eternal fire.
It always amuses me when non-catholics tell me what my "religion says".
Guess what? My religion says there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church.
Only an arrogant, pride-filled and ignorant fool would make such a comment.
I'm not the least surprised you were the one to make it.
Good night, Lurch, and you're in my prayers. You need them.
I didn't change the subject; I addressed your false accusation of blaphemy.
Tell me, Lurch, who was Jesus Christ praying to in the Garden of Gethsemane?
Either answer the question or retract your false charges of blasphemy.
If you really believe that, Ebb, why are you so nasty to non Catholics? Do you want non Catholics to go to hell? You don't turn a finger to offer your Catholicism religion to whom you deem damned because they are not Catholics.
Ebb, Jesus took on flesh and welt among us as a JEW. Not a Catholic or a Protestant, a Jew. His Spirit began a body of believers church on the day of Pentecost. That first three or four thousand were not Catholics. The APostles were not Catholics. Paul was definitely not a Catholic. D you see a disconnect here?
How have I been nasty, when I repeatedly say I pray for y’all and your conversions?
I offer them the Truth. I offer it to Protestants, Jews, Muslims, etc.
You believe that, but your own assertions, making being in the Catholic Church a requirement for salvation prove you are not offering the truth.
