Gerry Matatics was a professor at their seminary in Pennsylvania. Was he fired or did he just stay behind when the seminary relocated to Nebraska? Do you know why they moved to Nebraska?

They moved to Nebraska to build a seminary under the aegis of Bishop Bruskewitz, having outgrown their place in Elmhurst. I know they tried to purchase land and buildings in the PA Diocese, but were unsuccessful, the deals always fell through for some reason. The Elmhurst property--which had once been a retreat center--had been serving both as a seminary and a Prep School--St. Gregory's. It may well be that Matatics worked for the Prep School, rather than the seminary. I'm not certain. I know the theologians who were fired by Rome were priests, not laymen--and orthodox.
