Vatican bars U.S. Jesuit from teaching Christology: Roger Haight

An American Catholic theologian censured by the Vatican for “grave doctrinal errors” has been told to cease teaching about the nature and identity of Jesus Christ.

Roger Haight, a Jesuit, has been asked by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Catholic Church’s highest doctrinal authority, not to teach Christology at any institution, even one unaffiliated with the church.

The news was confirmed to Catholic News Service by Giuseppe Bellucci, chief spokesperson in Rome for the Jesuits, the church’s largest order.
