He is the past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America. He received his Bachelor of Arts (1960) and the Master of Arts in Philosophy (1961) from Berchmans College, Cebu City, Philippines. His South.T.B. from Woodstock College, Maryland (1967).
The Master of Arts Haight is currently a scholar-in-residence at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
In September 2004, Haight began teaching at Union Theological Seminary, a leading multi-denominational seminary as an adjunct professor of theology. In 2005 he wrote The Future of Christology in response to questions and concerns about Jesus Symbol of God.
In January 2009 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) publicly barred Haight from writing on theology and forbade him to teach anywhere, including non-Catholic institutions. The Vatican objects 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.
The clarifications Haight provided in 2000 were judged unsatisfactory by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and in January 2001 the congregation proceeded to a formal investigation.
