Ordinariate News has posted on Fr Catania's
sudden and unexpected move to become a temporary administrator at a diocesan parish in Omaha. It's my understanding that this move is due to the opposition in the diocese to the Ordinariate group in Rochester. "It has blocked Fr. Catania from having anything to do with the diocese - no job, no faculties, no housing, no participation in any other diocesan church or event." Apparently this is in spite of appeals from both Msgr Steenson and Bp Lopes.
Elsewhere, the Diocese of Rochester is described as "one of the most progressive/liberal, moving toward post-Catholic, dioceses in the country". That link suggests that Bp Matano, installed in 2014, was meant to be a more conservative influence, but perhaps he can accomplish only so much.
Please pray for the Fellowship of St Alban and the Ordinariates.
