Joseph Reyes is accused of violating temporary restraining order which ordered him not to expose his three-year-old daughter Ela to any other faith than Judaism. His wife took out the order when he had his daughter baptised without her consent.
A Chicago man could face jail for having his daughter baptised and taking her to a cathedral after promising his ex-wife she would be brought up as Jewish.
Catholic Joseph Reyes, 35, was charged with violating a temporary restraining order which ordered him not to expose his three-year-old daughter Ela to any other faith than Judaism. He took local television crews with him as he took his daughter to visit a cathedral.
Mr Reyes converted to Judaism to marry Rebecca, whom he later divorced, in 2004, but claimed that there was no specific agreement to raise their daughter as Jewish.
He told Chicago television that the couple did not keep kosher, did not observe Shabbat and rarely attended synagogue but said that they had held a baby blessing for Ela at their synagogue shortly after she was born.
After the couple divorced, Mr Reyes returned to practicing Catholicism and in November 2009 he sent Ms Reyes pictures of their daughter being baptised at Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church.
In December 2009 Mrs Reyes obtained a restraining order to ban her ex-husband from exposing Ela to any religion other than Judaism.
But he argued that this contravened the American Constitution, guaranteeing freedom of religion.
But Mr Reyes took CBS Chicago TV crews along with him when he took Ela to Holy Name Cathedral at the end of January.
Mr Reyes is now charged with contempt of court at Cook County Circuit Court. If convicted, he could face six months in jail and a $500 fine.

Jew are the master while we are gentile or slave.
The instant he made the promise is the instant he betrayed his daughter, if he really cared for his daughter he would have taken her to another country and changed his identity even if that ment living on the streets, as that is the only way a father can truly raise his daughter as his own when he marries a feminist whore with no respect for men.
Jews are the most racist bigots I have ever know.
