I think you are right about much and will try to explain from my perspective. Just saying that things are clear does not make it so if the common experience makes it "clear" that they are not. We seek to follow Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Where He leads us. We have our own opinions, trusting that the Holy Spirit guides His Church. What are you afraid of? You can't get a more extreme outcome than the kingdom of heaven. 

And I also think MSW threw up an airball in this one. Most of what he says about Weinandy is pretty accurate,  but I think he missed the boat on DeNardo's statement and action. Maybe it shows conversion, not hypocrisy. That sure was my take.
