Changes Under Bishop-Elect Lopes?

Fr Jason Catania left the Mt Calvary, Baltimore Ordinariate parish last year, as I understand it, for unspecified reasons, and went to Canada to become full time priest for the Sodality of St. Edmund, King and Martyr in Kitchener, ON. This group has a membership of 11. He had also been periodically celebrating Saturday vigil mass for the Fellowship of St Alban in Rochester, NY. I've now heard news that Fr Catania is returning to the US, and his schedule is up in the air. The Sodality of St Edmund site announces that masses are suspended until further notice, and a similar message has gone out to the St Alban Fellowship, pending Fr Catania's relocation.

A knowledgeable party speculates that Fr Catania's move to Canada had been prompted when he somehow crossed Msgr Steenson, and his return to the US may be related to the arrival of Bishop-Elect Lopes.
