Mark,
Many thanks for your comments. 
Your comments are informative and assuring. Does the OD alignment with the GOOD Pope Francis represent a change and a new direction for OD? OD, for me is typified by the likes of Fr. McCloskey. He who was a Wall Street type. That seems to be very telling. Also another tell is those he has converted to Catholicism, some of the most volatile and venomous including -- Newt Gingrich, Sam Brownback, Regnery, Novak, etc. 
It is VERY difficult to   'hear' anything from such people is impossible due to their hate. We all know that such aggressiveness and viciousness is so representative of their great and obsessive fear and extreme righteousness. They --  who hate, for God. But in reality it's about money and supremacy - aryanism. 
They seem to have no concern at what their hate is causing, they just continue hating. 

all the best --
