McGuire, collared, still wears the collar

More bad news about Rev. Donald McGuire, the Jesuit, with the provincial, Ed Schmidt, sounding without a clue in this Sun-Times piece by its alert religion writer:

He’s been convicted twice, jailed twice — but his order lets him wear the collar, won’t say if he’ll be kicked out

Moreover, mum’s the word on whether the province has gone to Rome about him to get him literally defrocked.

Big image problem here in his nephew going after him as lawyer for the latest accuser. 

“It’s time we took [the collar] away,” said Kevin McGuire, the priest’s nephew and a lawyer for “John Doe 116,” who’s suing the priest and the Jesuits.


Schmidt, however,

“can’t find anything in the Jesuits’ rules” permitting him to ask Donald McGuire to stop dressing as a priest.


A helpless giant, apparently.
