Rev. Donald McGuire is being “terminated as a priest,” according to Magistrate Judge Arlander Keys in federal court today in Chicago.
Keys had been given a copy of a letter from the Jesuits to that effect, he told prosecutor and defense attorney.
McGuire will be free on $50,000 bond while awaiting federal trial on charges of abusing minors overseas.
He will stay in the Oak Lawn apartment where he has been staying. It is owned by a lifelong friend who has been named one of two monitors who are to keep him away from minors and them away from him, this over objections by U.S. prosecutor Julie Ruder, who said he can’t be monitored, having “historically and repeatedly ignored whatever restrictions . . . have [been] placed upon him,”
McGuire will apparently have to return first to Wisconsin because of “a detainer that a court there had placed on him,” authorities said, per Chi Trib.
