Right you are. Lopes is a Catholic priest and bishop, who apparently was appointed to this position because the Anglican who originally led the group WAS married and therefore was not qualified for Catholic ordination.

I think he was appointed to the position because Msgr Steenson wanted to retire. Not sure what the reason for that was.
