doubts entertained by Protestants, some maintaining that a communion which does not baptize in the name of Christ has no Christian baptism at all. But where baptism receives into the congregation of believers in Christ, it can not be repeated, because it is the inviolable gift of adoption through Christ.

</div2><div2 type="Article" title="Hergenroether, Joseph"> HERGENROETHER, her'gen-rü"ter, JOSEPH: Roman Catholic scholar; b. at Würzburg Sept. 15, 1824; d. in the Cistercian monastery of Mehrerau (1½ m. w. of Bregenz) Oct. 3, 1890. He studied at Würzburg and in Rome, and was ordained priest there in 1848; became professor extraordinary (1852), and ordinary professor of ecclesiastical law and history (1855) at Würzburg. In 1868-69 he was one of the committee to prepare for the Vatican Council, and took a consistent stand in favor of the infallibility dogma. Pius IX. made him one of his domestic prelates; and Leo XIII., on May 12, 1879, cardinal deacon and the first prefect of the apostolic archives. His publications are numerous; of especial interest are Der Kirchenstaat seit der französischen Revolution, Freiburg-im-Breisgau, 1860; Photius, Patriarch von Constantinopel, 3 vols., Regensburg,1867-69 (one of the great monographs of modern times; in vol. 3 is Monumenta Græca ad Photium ejusque historiam spectantia, also separately issued, 1869); Anti-Janus, Freiburg, 1870 (English transl., Dublin, 1870; a reply to Döllinger's Janus); Katholische Kirche and christlicher Staat in ihrer geschichtlichen Entwicklung and in Beziehung auf die Fragen der Gegenwart,1872, abridged ed.,1873 (Eng. transl., Catholic Church and Christian State, 2 vols., London, 1876, with a supplementary volume of documents and appendixes, 1876); Handbuch der allgemeinen Kirchengeschichte, 3 vols., Freiburg, 1876-80. He also continued Hefele's Conciliengeschichte by publishing vols. viii. and ix. (1887-1890), published the Regesta Leonis X., sections 1-8, 1884-91, and was the editor of the great Kirchenlezikon of Wetzer and Welte, 2d ed., 1880-1901.

</div2><div2 type="Article" title="Heriger"> HERIGER, här"i"zhê´: Abbot of Lobbes (Laubach, in Belgium, 10 m. a.w. of Charleroi on the Sambre); d. at Lobbes Oct. 31, 1007. As a monk he taught with much success at Lobbes, the seat of a famous school, between 970 and 980. In all ecclesiastical and political affairs he was the right hand of the great Bishop Notker of Liége (q.v.) and accompanied him on his journey to Rome in 989. In 990 he became abbot of the monastery. Next to Gerbert of Aurillac (see SYLVESTER II., POPE) Heriger was perhaps the most important and versatile writer of his time. The following of his works have been preserved: (1) Gesta episcoporum Tungrensium et Leodicensium, written before 980; it extends only to the death of Bishop Remaclus (667 or 671) and is of little value. (2) S. Landvaldi et sociorum translatio, written after June, 980, at the order of Notker for the monks of St. Bavo in Ghent; the saint and his associates are not known and seem to be fictitious. (3) Vita S. Uramari, a fragment in hexameter. (4) Epistola ad quendam Hugonem monachum, concerning the calculation of the Easter term, the extent of the time of Advent, and some chronological problems. (5) Regulte nummorum super abacum Gerberti, a mathematical work. (6) Libellus de corpore et sanguine Domini.
