Marjorie Taylor Greene: I Was Raised Catholic, but Wicked Bishops Have ‘Driven Me Away’ from the Church

LifeSite News ^ | 5/4/22 | Claire Chretien

The problem with the bishops is not that they’re personally evil (or at least most of them), but that they’re wusses and organizational men. They just do whatever the boss says, and in this case it’s a bad top boss (the Pope) and bad second tier bosses (most of the Cardinals and Archbishops).

They’ll kowtow to any power, religious or secular (i.e., the Democratic Party).

Cowardice and being willing to go along to get along seem to be the main requirements for being a bishop nowadays. And that’s very disillusioning.

[boycott]

I think they looked for excuses to ditch their last boss because they didn’t want what he wanted.

Homosexuality has been a problem in Catholicism for over a thousand years.

And a Pope whose Christianity can be questioned.

[max americana]

same here. One of my buds who was the USHER for the church the past 20 years was now told to get finger prints like the fbi and didnt like being ordered around by the new lefty priest from new york who took over.

[chopperk]

I have heard the same complaints about Bishops from other “falling away” Catholics.

[deweyfrank]

And this, so called, Pope.

[metmom]

In your dreams.

Claiming it retroactively does not make it so.

Catholicism has long ago forfeited any right it had to claim to be the body of Christ due to its refusal to deal with the gross immorality that permeates its clergy from the top(the papacy) down.

There’s no way you can convince any thinking person that God would tolerate, condone, protect, or bless the kind of evil and debauchery Catholicism has perpetrated on mankind for so many years. All anyone has to do is read Scripture to see how God deals with sin in a church.

Christ is building His church and Catholicism ain’t it.

I left in the early 1980’s, that’s how long this has been going on.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Reminds me of Joe Paterno. He was always my hero until Sandusky came along. Greene is a young man’s cougar crush.

[max americana]

whoa. Mine was in the past 5 years.

[metmom]

All you need to do is sit down and talk with a priest.

People aren’t as stupid as you seem to think they are. They can think and read for themselves and nobody with a modicum of spiritual discernment would go to a Catholic priest for advice on spiritual matters.

Why would someone ask a priest who is likely as not a homosexual child molester for advice on a relationship with God? Cause that priest certainly wouldn’t have one.

[ScottinVA]

With the communist currently posing as “pope,” who could blame her or anyone else for leaving that church?

[stanne]

Yeah. Whatever.

[Mark17]

Same reason I left, they refused to do anything about their pedophile priest problem and made it worse by shifting them around to endanger more children.

I didn’t even know about all this stuff, when I left the church (1970) I left because I didn’t think they preached the gospel.

There’s no way you can convince any thinking person that God would tolerate, condone, protect, or bless the kind of evil and debauchery Catholicism has perpetrated on mankind for so many years.

You do understand that is the ATHEIST'S argument against the Existence for God...Right?

Christ is building His church and Catholicism ain’t it.

Well God better get a move on...times awastin... for that building project to get done... the one on sinful earth that is...
Let's hope he doesn't work for the County hwy. Dept...

So if the One, True, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is not it...
What is?

Certainly not the thousands of - can I get an Amen- Churches popping up all over America, run by multi - millionaire preachers with their luxury vehicles and 2nd and 3rd vacation homes - passing on those profitable preaching genes to their children? Right?

Be careful there...
As CS Lewis said... a message for us all...

" A self- righteous prig who attends Church regularly,
may be nearer to hell than a prostitute.
Though it's better to be neither "

[Campion]

You repeat that canard frequently, but repetition doesn't make it true. You assume what you need to prove: that the New Testament church is not still here with us and needs to be reinvented by reverse-engineering it from the Scriptures.

Any Catholic or Orthodox Christian who knows his faith recognizes that assumption for what it is, and rejects it immediately.

[Elsie]

The church is the magesterium, tradition and the Catechism. It was Founded by Jesus.

why are there things in the catechism that Jesus never said?

[Campion]

Likely as not? If 50% of priests were provably guilty of molestation, most of us wouldn’t see one outside of visiting hours at the state penitentiary. The real number is more like 3%, and that includes those removed from active ministry.
