Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just slammed the US Catholic Church's leadership in a 700-word statement, calling them 'monsters' who are 'controlled by Satan'
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed the US Roman Catholic Church's leaders on Wednesday, calling its bishops "criminals and abusers."
In a 700-word statement, Greene demanded an apology from Catholic League president Bill Donohue, who had earlier criticized her for saying that "Satan's controlling the Church." Greene had made the comment during an interview with the right-wing site Church Militant.
--------------------------------------------
Greene continually referenced the scandal in her statement, accusing US church leaders of covering up the crimes.
"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," she added.
"I can tell you that it's the bishops' wickedness that has driven me away from the Church, and I make no apologies for saying so," said the congresswoman. "America's Catholic bishops are some of the worst in the world."
She also accused them of supporting an "illegal invasion" by using federal funds to resettle undocumented immigrants one of the main talking points of her interview with Church Militant.
"What more can we expect from criminals and abusers living unaccountable lives of luxury funded by the rest of us, draped in fine linens while choirboys are raped?" Greene wrote in her statement.

For their part the Catholic League (The Catholic League is the nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization.) says:
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE MUST BE SANCTIONED
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SLANDERS CATHOLICS
The Catholic League also says:
TRANSGENDER MANIA GRIPS THE WHITE HOUSE
PSAKI SHOULD SAVE HER TEARS FOR REAL VICTIMS
LEGALIZING MARIJUANA IS A DEATH SENTENCE
Perhaps all parties involved need some time in the office:
