One of Rochester’s Favorites in the News

From the Commonweal web site

Jesuit theologian Roger Haight, whose writings on Christology, especially in his 1999 book “Jesus: Symbol of God,” led the Vatican to bar him from teaching in Catholic institutions, has received a further punishment: The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) has barred Haight from writing on theology (he may continue a work in progress on Ignatian spirituality) and he is forbidden to teach anywhere, even non-Catholic institutions. That means that at the end of the coming semester Haight, who resides at America House in New York, will stop teaching at Union Theological Seminary in Upper Manhattan.

Some of you may recall that Roger Haight was a guest speaker of the Newman Chair of Catholic Studies at the U of R in October of 2007. I suppose this means that he will be in even more demand as a speaker in the DOR.
