‘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.......

It is the Truth.
I’m sorry you don’t accept it.
I’ll pray for you, also.
So why aren't you a Jew?
The PITA called ebbtide on FreeRepublic did NOT type MOTHER OF GOD!!
Send out the boys again!!
It always saddens me to hear the Catholic religion say that obeying what an apparition tells them is ok to do - or not.
Guess what? Your 'education' is NOT complete.
The following quotations from the Church Fathers give the straight story. They show that the early Church held the same position on this as the contemporary Church does—that is, whereas it is normatively necessary to be a Catholic to be saved (see CCC 846; Vatican II, Lumen Gentium 14), it is possible in some circumstances for people to be saved who have not been fully initiated into the Catholic Church (CCC 847).
Notice that the same Fathers who declare the normative necessity of being Catholic also declare the possibility of salvation for some who are not Catholics.
I offer them my ROSARY!
I offer FReepers facts that are taught by the church at Rome.
We can see here the pure perfect example of what I like to call ‘ebb pride.’
He claims to believe that God and only God can judge souls, and uses it as a defense every time his own sin is called out.
In the next breath, he seizes what he claims to believe is God’s domain for himself.
Ebb pride, trying to make himself God!
I believe you are over reaching to accuse Ebb of trying to be god.
If I was using the (Biblical) standards that I hold myself to, I agree that would be over-reaching.
However, I’m using the standards that ebb uses against other people. As the Lord says, “For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
“The Secret Rapture Fallacy”
A video that clearly shows the “fallacy” of the PTR, point by point. The last half specifically deals with literal ISRAEL as God’s chosen people and the scriptural texts that CLEARLY disprove this notion. Literal Israel is finished as God’s chosen nation. DONE. Daniel’s 70 weeks figure prominently into that discussion.
Almost every FALSE ARGUMENT made by your side is addressed in this video. MHG should pay close attention.
May God have mercy on your dead soul.
It is obvious that you are afraid of the truth. Therefore you are DEAD MAN WALKING. With your “vast” biblical knowledge you should be able to refute every point the pastor makes, WITH SCRIPTURE. But you won’t (can’t). That is a COWARDLY position. What does the bible say about Cowards?
Revelation 21:8But to the COWARDLY and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.
By the way, the discussion on Israel begins at approx 28:30 into the video.
“That is a COWARDLY position. What does the bible say about Cowards?
“Revelation 21:8But to the COWARDLY and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

How does it feel to be condemned to Hell by a follower of a false prophetess, MHG? (You know I’m grinning as I ask. Ha, ha.) One who doesn’t even understand where the passage he quotes fits in the timeline of God’s plan and does not even apply to the Church? You laughing, too? Such confusion wrought by such a cult.
Watch the first 6 minutes of the vid, MHG. 😁
