Fr. Roger Haight, S.J. of the New York Province of the Society of Jesus has been ordered by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in the Vatican to cease teaching and publishing on theology. Upon citing “serious doctrinal errors contrary to the divine and catholic faith of the Church” in Haight’s 2004 book Jesus: Symbol of God, the CDF barred him from teaching Catholic theology. The recent actions by the CDF clarified that the prohibition bars him from teaching even at non-Catholic institutions. As a consequence of the disciplinary measures Father Haight will no longer be permitted to teach at the “multi-denominational” Union Theological Seminary in New York, where he is currently a scholar in residence. The National Catholic Reporter reports a Vatican official said that Haight’s other writings subsequent to Jesus Symbol of God “largely ‘reiterated’ the views which had triggered the earlier censure, and were part of the motivation for the new restrictions.” Source: National Catholic Reporter
