Mark, it takes me  awhile to get to other articles from the one or two I review and comment on every couple of days.  So I'm glad you got to this first.  Your views are, to me, spot on and I agree.  I also am of the opinion that being a member of OD does not somehow render a person as somehow defective in their faith.  There are a number of things about OD I find to be like a cult, but not all fit that radical of a position.  Yet, as you say, what's done is done. Since it is okay with Pope Francis, then I see no problem with it (it's not that big of a deal, really). May God bless Msgr. Ocariz in his role as prelate (it's not a new ministry for him, as he has been auxiliary vicar of OD).
