Timeline

1936

Roger Haight (born 1936) is an American Jesuit theologian and former president of the Catholic Theological Society of America.

He is regarded as a knowledgeable and pioneering theologian, whose experiences with censorship have led to widespread debate over how to handle controversial ideas in the Catholic church today.

1960

A member of the Jesuits, Haight received his BA (1960) and an MA in Philosophy (1961) from Berchmans College in Cebu City, Philippines; his STB from Woodstock College, Maryland (1967); an MA in Theology (1969) and a PhD in Theology (1973) from the University of Chicago; and the STL from the Jesuit School of Theology at Chicago.

1999

The book is the winner of the 1999 top prize in theology from the Catholic Press Association.

2000

The clarifications Haight provided in 2000 were judged unsatisfactory by the CDF and in January 2001 it initiated a formal investigation which led to his 2004 removal from Catholic universities and 2009 complete silencing.

2004

In 2004, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) barred Haight from teaching at the Weston School of Theology in response to questions about his book Jesus Symbol of God (Orbis, 1999).

In September 2004, Haight began teaching at Union Theological Seminary, a leading multi-denominational seminary, as an adjunct professor of theology.

2005

In 2005 he wrote The Future of Christology in response to questions and concerns about Jesus Symbol of God.

In 2005 John Allen, after a long review of diverse responses to Haight's Jesus Symbol of God, described it as "a work of vast erudition", and concluded:

"The theological community appears divided over the Vatican's recent censure of Jesuit Fr. Roger Haight. Citing 'grave doctrinal errors' in Haight's book Jesus Symbol of God, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a notification banning the priest from teaching Catholic theology. While some see Haight's 'Christology from below' as a courageous exploration of new horizons, others see it as a cautionary tale about what happens when the culture becomes the lens for reading the Gospel rather than vice versa. Some who fault Haight have included those who have been critical of Vatican treatment of other theologians, but reluctantly concede that the congregation's notification of Haight may be justified, or at least expected."

Scholars are divided on whether the Vatican's reaction is counterproductive by ending debate within scholarly circles or whether it was necessary since Haight's ideas were being taught at a popular level.

2006

Haight was the recipient of the Alumnus of the Year award from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago in April, 2006.

He taught at the Jesuit graduate schools of theology in Manila, Chicago, Toronto, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

He has also been a visiting professor at universities in Lima, Nairobi, Paris, and in the Indian city of Pune.

2009

In January 2009, the CDF barred Haight from writing on theology and forbade him to teach anywhere, including non-Catholic institutions.

However, he remained at Union Theological Seminary as a scholar in residence, focused on the adaptation of Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises for "seekers" today.

In 2009, after the complete silencing of Haight, a response in the Jesuits' America magazine mentioned the usefulness of certain chapters of Jesus Symbol of God and that silencing interrupts the helpful process of scholarly criticism.

The silencing received widespread coverage.

2014

He had published, in 2014, An Alternate Vision: An Interpretation of Liberation Theology. He also contributed to the Sisters of the Holy Name of Jesus and Mary series commemorating 50 years after Vatican II, with an interview on "Spirituality Today for all Seekers: The Gift of the Spiritual Exercises for All Seekers", which addresses the question of how to connect with the spirituality of people who do not consider themselves religious.

2015

In 2015, the era of Pope Francis, Haight was somewhat reinstated, teaching at the Jesuit theologate in Toronto.

2016

In 2016 he published Spiritual and Religious: Explorations for Seekers, and in 2017 his "Theology of the Cross" was the topic of an article in the English Jesuit Heythrop Journal. In 2019 he published Faith and Evolution: A Grace-Filled Naturalism (Orbis, 2019), described by George V. Coyne as "an original and rich contribution to the growing field of studies within the Christian tradition on the dynamic relationship among the natural sciences, theology, and religious faith."

Haight received the John Courtney Murray Award from the Catholic Theological Society of America in 2023.

The CDF objected to Haight's attempts to separate Christology from Greek philosophical concepts, specifically in relation to the formulation of the mystery of the Trinity, the interpretation of Christ's divinity, and the role of Jesus in salvation.
