In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index
- “Habert, Ludov., French (1635-1718), wrote Theologia dogmatica et moralis, 7 volumes in 12mo, Lyons 1709. This work indeed is not altogether immune from the Jansenist stain.” — Prümmer, Catalogue of authors
- [+*: rigid] “Habert Ludovicus, French, most rigid Sorbonne doctor (cf. Gonzalez). Moreover this man, says St. Alphonsus, did not hesitate to assert that opinion which, according to Bellarmine, is altogether erroneous, namely, that the Pope, even when defining from the chair, both in matter of faith and of morals, can err: perhaps because this most false opinion, and one commonly rejected by our authors, seems to the Gauls themselves morally certain and immune from fear; born 1635, died 1717.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XIX, sign read on the page)
His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It
Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.
