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 living our Roman Catholic Faith (not Religion, as "Religion/Politics divide, Faith unites." ¹²³) ═ Peace_&_hUmaNITY
In this time of strife & distress … ... sharing to help see through the noise (not preachy) :
➤ Bible ═ Old_Testament & New_Testament;
➤ New_Testament ═ Christ's teachings ═ Christianity;
➤ everything else is ADDITIONAL ═ Background & Extras … such as, [a] Old_Testament is Jewish / BACKGROUND_info / pre_Christ ═ not Christ's teachings ═ not Christianity
… and you know Jewish are not Christian, thus Judeo-Christian is an oxymoron
[b] each version / denomination of Chrisitianity ( i.e, that church ) has its own EXTRAS … Bible_variations, policies, practices, etc. …
1 example: for clarity, Catholics venerate / revere / honour ( not worship ) Mother Mary
some Christian / Protestant denominations do not venerate Mother Mary, the Mother of Jesus a.k.a. Theotokos
tidbit: Hindus, Muslims, and people of other Faiths / Beliefs actually do venerate / revere / honour Mother Mary
+ Mother Mary's apparitions & miracles have been witnessed & experienced by non-Catholics across the world … even in our life time
these few points are not political or religious statements … just a li'll over_simplified history / info, for the below.

Purpose : "responsible for your soul from point-A to point-B in time … protect, nurture, enrich, and amplify it … as we shuffle off this mortal coil" ¹²³
Praxis : theory into practice
➤ "Live peaceably with all" (Romans 12:18) + "Let us pursue what makes for peace & mutual upbuilding" (Romans 14:19)
➤ Focus on using whatever time you have left in doing good ( i.e., purpose ) + leave the evil doers & supporters to the wrath_of_God (Romans 12:19)
➤ Living our multi-generational Roman Catholic Faith ( not Religion, as "Religion/Politics divide, Faith unites." ¹²³ )
connects us with good folks of various Faiths / Beliefs ( Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, non-Catholic_Christians, and other Faiths / Beliefs, including Atheists )
— across the continents — as our shared Humanity Unites us all ... against inhumanity.
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 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 & vulnerable." ¹²³

➤ "recognize those trying to normalize vile / heinous / evil acts … evil can only grow when good people ignore_it / turn_away." ¹²³
*** THINK: "recognizing" evil usurped the Church, does not mean you discard being_Christian
… rather, doesn't it make you a better Christian + conscientious Human with a soul?
~ doesn't the same apply to anything that makes you, you? [ e.g., being_American ]
… and when you are outside your home country, you are a guest in someone else's home / land, shouldn't you conduct yourself as a proper guest?
⤷ pro_Proportional_Accountability ( "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 — may they repent & atone.
➤ Luke 17:2 "… millstone around neck …" for ALL who prey upon children & vulnerable + ALL who enable this evil + ALL who cover it up,
be it the pope / vatican / politiicians / ANYONE — woe betide ALL of them … the wrath_of_God upon ALL of them is inexorable.
➤ We / Humanity may be insignificant nobodies but We stand steadfast with the victims, especially the children & vulnerable
~and~ recognize those who sacrifice their lives for others ( including the good "vocational, not professional" priests / monks / etc. )
⤷ pro_Peace_&_hUmaNITY : Texan-American with "pre-21ˢᵗ century" English roots + " hUmaNITY, not Political Party "

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