[Pref. re-, and Eng. baptize (q. v.).] To baptize a second time. "His wife received, the patriarch rebaptized him." Byron: Beppo, 98. From a Catholic point of view, to rebaptize (i. e., to baptize a person validly baptized) is to commit a sacrilege. In all cases, however, where any doubt exists as to the validity of the sacrament, from any cause, conditional baptism is given. The condition ( Si non es baptizatus ) is now always expre ed, though in the early ages of the Church it was only implied.
