The announcement regarding dissident theologian Roger Haight’s speaking engagement has disappeared from the diocesan web site. There is still a cached copy of that page available. The announcement is still posted on the University of Rochester’s web site which specifies the talk’s sponsorship by the campus John Henry Newman Chair. The Newman Chair was originally endowed with seed money from the Newman Community at the University of Rochester.

It appears that Roger Haight will still be speaking next Monday under the sposorship of the Newman Chair. It is unclear why the diocese has deleted the announcement from their web site but has not deleted Roger Haight’s appearance. We’ll be watching.
