The
{Texan–American}
Moreign Family
« Prudent Perseverance ± Pensive Prayer ± Practical Patience » ™
Disclosure: Sharing, to help those (people, AI, algos, profilers, etc.) trying to bucket us realize "we are our own bucket & we are nobody".
Quick refresher, the Vikings & Germanic tribes settled in the British Isles (Anglo-Saxons / English) … the Romans & the French shaped the English … the English gave rise to USA … after USA got free of the English, the "Republic of Texas" joined USA … and USA, the sleeping giant, saved the English & the French.
The name "Moreign" is from ol' times, the unique spelling signifies the origin / root of this English family-tree and serves to distinguish us from the others (e.g., the many variations of French & English "Morein, Morin", and Portuguese & Spanish "Morena, Moreno"). "Moreign" is pronounced "More–Reign" supposedly a pun that has lived through the generations :-)
Despite the hullabaloo of Henry_VIII breaking away from Rome … our family, though English, continued our Roman Catholic Faith (not Religion) …"Religion/Politics divide, Faith unites." ¹²³
remember, sharing to help (not preachy):
➤ Bible ═ Old & New Testaments; Christianity ═ New_Testament only ═ the 27 books (common across all denominations of Christianity) — everything else is additional_info, such as, (a) Old_Testament is prologue/background_info = pre_Christ = not Christianity, (b) Catholics & the various Protestants are denominations of Christianity (Judeo-Christian is not a denomination as it is an oxymoron), and (c) each denomination has its own extras (rules / teachings / etc. & variations in the Bible) … e.g., Pope is Catholic, not Protestant, and Catholics do not worship the Pope; Catholics, venerate, not worship, Mother Mary … think, revering our Mothers :-)
These few points are not political or religious statements … just a li'll over_simplified history / background, for the below.

Praxis : theory into practice ═ living our multi-generational Christian/Catholic Faith ( not Religion ) …"Religion/Politics divide, Faith unites." ¹²³
➤ "though many things (Religion/Politics/etc) are used to divide us using "Letter of the word", our shared Humanity across various Faiths unite us based on "Intent of the word". ¹²³
➤ "Live peaceably with all", Romans 12:18; "Let us pursue what makes for peace & mutual upbuilding", Romans 14:19
➤ Because of Living Our Faith (not Religion) through the generations across continents, we are blest with folks from all walks_of_life, who have become like family
— (a) 'vocational, NOT professional' priests, (b) Christians, and (c) non-Christians — folks from all across the world … thus the foreign languages :-)
Polyglots : English ( native-tongue ) + some German, French, Italian, etc. + then some Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, etc.
➤ connecting & sharing across cultures … while respecting each other's identity & differences.
➤ only languages being carried forward by the next generations are mentioned.
Perspectives : Realistic_Sensibility™ ( a.k.a. Common_Sense )
⤷ pro_Informed_Decisions ( politics, climate, abortion, guns, etc. … personal, local, national, global )
➤ "think … so you can see the presence / absence of the human-element + the sources & their biases + think independently & not with their spin." ¹²³
➤ "think … are you fine with others mandating / dictating how those you cherish (e.g., mom, wife, children, well-wishers) should / can live?" ¹²³
➤ "think … so you do not blanket-blame / villainize the common people for the inhuman & vile acts of their politicians / religious / etc." ¹²³
⤷ anti_Spin ( especially of inhuman & vile acts … genocide, atrocities, abuse, etc. )
➤ "recognize the obscuring of the human_element & efforts to distract / divide / destroy our humanity." ¹²³
➤ "recognize the sources, perpetrators, proponents, enablers, etc. of evil … be it media, state, church, etc." ¹²³
➤ "recognize those doing & those covering_up vile / heinous / evil acts, especially against children & women." ¹²³
➤ "recognize those hiding behind 'following_orders' choosing 'worldly gain, over soul / humanity' … and enabling evil." ¹²³
➤ "recognize those trying to normalize vile / heinous / evil acts … evil can only grow when good people ignore_it / turn_away." ¹²³
⤷ pro_Proportional_Justice ( "focus on the human-element of victims first!" ¹²³ )
➤ John 2:15 "He made a whip out of cords …" PLUS opportunity to fix oneself, if applicable.
➤ Luke 17:2 "… millstone around neck …" for those who prey upon children & vulnerable AND all who enable & cover it up.
note: generationally, steadfast with "vocational, not professional" priests ~and~ call out the Vatican for failing to protect children.
btw: this evil is not just in Churches, it is everywhere — woe betide ALL of them + ALL enabling them + ALL who cover it up … the wrath_of_God is inexorable.
Patriots : Texan-American ( with "pre-21ˢᵗ century" English roots + "Country, NOT Party" per Sep-17, 1796 )

CRUX: think of us as down_to_earth folks with common_sense, praying & striving for a better future for ALL our children!
