Monday night at the University of Rochester, Roger Haight showed why the Vatican issued a formal “Notification” about his book “Jesus, Symbol of God”. In his one hour talk, he told a small group of about 35 people rambling tales of Vatican II and the new and improved Catholic Church that it produced. He proved that the Vatican was correct when it said that “Jesus Symbol of God contains erroneous assertions, the dissemination of which is of grave harm to the faith”.

The essence of his theology is that the Church’s teachings are continually being modified based on historical periods, cultural environments, and Church leadership. This premise is the apparent foundation for his new theology that the Vatican described as containing “serious doctrinal errors contrary to the divine and Catholic faith of the Church”. This is why the Vatican has instructed that Roger Haight “may not teach Catholic theology”.
