I took a theology class at a Catholic University and that was the exact claim - Jesus was only human. That is not the official stance of the church, but was taught by the University. MY thought on the matter is that removing divinity from Christ makes your church not Christian.
I was disgusted that this was taught but the state of seminaries and those pastors they turn out is another topic.
I was really shocked, but it is a comment problem in seminaries. What you end up with is a religion without God. Keep that in mind when you see priests that allow Muslim prayer services to be conducted inside churches. While we live in a mostly mundane world, you cannot have Christianity without the miraculous. It doesn't work.

Doesn't sound like much of a Catholic university!
