The congresswoman then doubled down in a lengthy social media meltdown Wednesday, April 30, demanding an apology over a letter Catholic League President William Donohue sent to the House Ethics Committee.
Greene said she stopped attending mass when she became a mother after realizing “she could not trust the Church leadership to protect my children from pedophiles.”
“It’s the church leadership I was referring to when I invoked the Devil,” she explained. “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.”
Previously, in a 2022 interview, she claimed that the Church’s charitable work in helping migrants amounted to “Satan controlling the church,” which sparked backlash from Catholic leaders and organizations.
