Quote:Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently told a far-right Catholic media organization that “Satan’s controlling the church” of Christians who provide aid to undocumented immigrants.
It seems that with those words Marjorie Taylor Greene has aggravated the eternally-aggrieved Bill Donohue of the Catholic League:
Quote:“She needs to apologize to Catholics immediately,” he said. “She is a disgrace.”
Donohue said his group plans to contact House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy about the issue, and Donohue encouraged readers to reach out to Greene’s communications director.
But then MTG continued to bash the Catholic Church:
Quote:“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,” Greene wrote. “The Catholic Church must throw out these monsters instead of lecturing the people its own bishops have driven away. I refuse to use kinder, gentler language as Bill Donohue might prefer when I talk about his disgusting and corrupt friends, who have made him rich with the donations from ordinary churchgoing Catholics.”
Another volley from Bill
Quote:“The time has come for her to be either reprimanded or censured,” Donohue wrote. “Her irresponsible behavior has already caused her to be removed from committee assignments. Accordingly, her burst of anti-Catholicism now demands stronger sanctions against her.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
