Ecclesiastical historian, b. at Langatte (Langd) in the present Diocese of Metz,
27 September, 1789; d. in Paris, 17 January, 1856. He studied for several months
at Sarrebourg and Phalsebourg (Pfalzburg) and at the age of seventeen had
completed his Classical studies. He taught for three years at the college of
Phalsebourg; entered in 1810 the ecclesiastical seminary at Nancy, and was
ordained priest in 1812. Appointed assistant priest at Insming, he was
transferred after six months to Lunéville. A mission which he preached in 1821
at Flavigny led to the organization of a diocesan mission band. Several years
later he became a member of the Congregation of St. Peter founded by Félicité
and Jean de La Mennais, and from 1827 to 1835 directed the philosophical and
theological studies of young ecclesiastics who wished to become the assistants
of the two brothers in their religious undertakings. When Felicite de La Mennais
refused to submit to the condemnation pronounced against him by Rome, Rohrbacher
separated from him and became professor of Church history at the ecclesiastical
seminary of Nancy. Later he retired to Paris where he spent the last years of
his life. His principal work is his monumental "Histoire Universelle de l'Église
Catholique" (Nancy, 1842-49; 2nd ed., Paris, 1849-53). Several other editions
were subsequently published and continuations added by Chantrel and Guillaume.
Written from an apologetic point of view, the work contributed enormously to the
extirpation of Gallicanism in the Church of France. Though at times uncritical
and devoid of literary grace, it is of considerable usefulness to the student of
history. It was translated into German and partially recast by Hülskamp, Rump,
and numerous other writers. (For the other works of Rohrbacher, see Hurter,
"Nomenclator Lit.", III [Innsbruck, 1895], 1069-71.)
