My spiritual adviser is an OD priest. My high school and even a part of my grade school is influenced by them. Well heres a share in the discussion:
1. OD is just like a movement with its own spirituality.
2. There is really no OD priest, just secular priests who are members of the Priestly Fraternity of the Holy Cross (OD's version for priest members)
3. My Spiritual Adviser once told me that if say I'd become Franciscan, I MAY be an OD member but then the spirituality of OD is different... (conflicting maybe)
4. Yes they are very traditional. They say they are conservative... and explained it as those who do exactly what the Church states. (By the book)
Their celebration of the sacraments and rituals is very much applauded. Those who accuse Vatican 2 as too liberal and uncatholic must see how OD is doing Vatican 2.
5. Secretive? No, but advertize, neither too.
And no, I havent found an Eastern Spirituality version of OD.
And one more thing before I go, OD priests are good confessors
