I believe that this article sheds additional light on O'Malley's values:

O'Malley regards himself as a problem-solver and not an ideologue. O'Malley's values are progressive, but they are based upon his religious faith. He is a social-justice Catholic who believes in universal moral values. I would classify him as a Christian humanist. He does not wear his faith on his sleeve, but carries it deeply in his heart.
