Is Girard's Scapegoat theory of atonement an acceptable view in Catholicism?

Obviously, we can't say for sure; all these theories float around and from what I can tell, the Church has no concrete position on the matter. I find Girard's scapegoat theory of atonement highly compelling, and I'd like to discuss it more with others. But first, I'd like to have some confidence that it's not in any way heretical or malformed. So, is the scapegoat theory of atonement compatible with Catholic teaching and rule?
