Australian here - OD has come under some scrutiny because of a couple of scandals at high schools they run here in Australia. What's gone on in those schools is a bit more than just creepy. Someone else commented "Handmaid's Tale and Da Vinci Code. What a terrifying combo." and that sums up what's been going on in these schools quite well.

Australian here - OD have come under some scrutiny here from things going on in high schools they run here. Your comment is the perfect description of those schools.

@ivoted-5489 The same way any other school gets their students. Their parents send them there. Like all private schools they operate on reputation and if the schools reputation is good within a community then parents send their kids to that school.

@imapseudonymRU12 I don't know but I have heard of that crowd too. They do NOT have a very good reputation in Australia. I can't confirm what I have heard so I won't repeat specific allegations here, but it has to do with dominating small rural communities through business arrangements.

FOR ANYONE wanting to see an amazing comment on the subject of Catholics influence in SCOTUS there's a lecture by a Notre Dame political science professor Patrick Deneen at The Tocqueville Center April 2024. Its titled "April 16, 2024: Part 1 - Catholic Political Thought in America" The actual comment is NOT by Patrick Deneen but by the person introducing the lecture. About 2 minutes into the video he points out that 6 or 7 of the current 9 SCOTUS judges are Catholic or culturally Catholic and then someone in the audience points out that he'd forgotten another of the 9. The lecture itself was about the different groups within American Catholicism, which was mildly interesting because I sort of wondered how many actual Catholics are aware of the influence being peddled by Leonard Leo who's Opus Dei and who's got the $1.6 Billion from Barre Seid to push people onto SCOTUS. The answer is most Catholics have no idea that a branch of Catholicism has this incredible power. Following that lecture there was this panel discussion and it got weird and quickly.
