A high profile Twin Cities priest has announced a voluntary and temporary leave of absence.
Father Michael Keating is an associate professor at the Center for Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas.
His leave comes the day before a sexual misconduct lawsuit is expected to be filed against him.
St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson says he’s filing a lawsuit alleging that as a seminary student, Keating engaged in sexual contact with an underage teen girl.
The matter was brought to the Archdiocese attention back in 2006.
