What Should We Do: An essay. Fight, Flight, or Annoy?

I understand Marjorie’s decision & her reasons for leaving the Church. She is rightly outraged by the corruption. But I still disagree with her decision. I urge those who share her concerns not to leave but stay & fight for Christ’s Bride to be purified. https://t.co/41tB7Ej90a  — Bishop J. Strickland (@Bishopoftyler) May 5, 2022

The email I received from Bishop J. Strickland today had me thinking.  Below are some of those thoughts. ≈ 1300 Words

I wouldn't criticize the Catholic Church.  I know its history very well, many priests are friends, they're scholars and Christian apologists are some of the best in the world. Furthermore, I'm aware of the problems and, for me, the assorted tainted leaders, are only a part of it. 

I'm always a bit sad when someone leaves a church because of the church people.  I too, face a similar decision. So, I do understand people leaving a fellowship.  The thing that comes up is, do I stay and fight for what I believe is right? Or, do I move on to where I believe I may be better served? 

Threats to our national security by friend or foe. Our policy ought be equally effective.

An essay on immigration, foreign policy, national interests, and the principles which ought to be applied to them.

When cartels or criminals execute US citizens, or countries are so chronically corrupt or negligent of their citizens that entire armies of citizens attempt illegal entry into the USA with the hopes of humane treatment it is a chronic and severe threat to US national security.

It likely isn't an ideal foreign policy to interfere in the internal affairs of foreign countries but when and where is it appropriate to take preventive actions in defense of the USA?

In the Middle East it appears of little concern to take aggressive lethal actions when the lives of US citizens are critically altered or the threats presented by country's policies threatens critical US interests.
