Achtzehn "Thinkers" aus verschiedenen christlichen Konfessionen und "Denominationen" stellten 1975 eine Liste mit dreizehn Häresien zusammen, von denen auch dreißig Jahre später einige noch quicklebendig scheinen:
"1. Modern thought is superior to all past forms of understanding reality, and is therefore normative for Christian faith and life.John Navone SJ beschreibt "The consequences of bad theology" auf Ignatius Insight.
2. Religious statements are totally independent of reasonable discourse.
3. Religious language refers to human experience and nothing else, God being humanity's noblest creation.
4. Jesus can only be understood in terms of contemporary models of humanity.
5. All religions are equally valid; the choice among them is not a matter of conviction about truth but only of personal preference or lifestyle.
6.To realize one's potential and to be true to oneself is the whole meaning of salvation.
7.Since what is human is good, evil can adequately be understood as failure to realize human potential.
8. The sole purpose of worship is to promote individual self-realization and human community.
9. Institutions and historical traditions are oppressive and inimical to our being truly human; liberation from them is required for authentic existence and authentic religion.
10. The world must set the agenda for the Church. Social, political and economic programs to improve the quality of life are ultimately normative for the Church's mission in the world.
11. An emphasis on God's transcendence is at least a hindrance to, and perhaps incompatible with, Christian social concern and action.
12. The struggle for a better humanity will bring about the Kingdom of God.
13. The question of hope beyond death is irrelevant or at least marginal to the Christian understanding of human fulfillment."
