	Germanus of Auxerre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Gaulish assembly of bishops chose Germanus and Lupus, Bishop of Troyes to visit the island to combat the threat and satisfy the Pope that the British church would not break away from the Augustinian teachings of divine grace.
		Germanus made a second visit to Britain in the 440s, joined by Severus, Bishop of Trier and meeting Elafius, described by Bede as 'a chief of that region'.
		Germanus cured Elafius' enfeebled son and this miracle served to persuade the population again that Gaulish Catholicism rather than Pelagianism was the true faith.

		GERMANUS: It is no wonder that these schemes were properly employed in the Old Testament, and that some holy men laudably or at any rate venially told lies, as we see that many worse things were permitted to them owing to the rude character of the times.
		GERMANUS: In the former instance we think there can be no doubt that it is better for our abstinence to be hidden than for it to be displayed to the inquirers, and in cases of this sort we also admit that a lie is unavoidable.
		GERMANUS: So far as this consideration is concerned which has been clearly and fully treated of, a monk ought never to determine anything for fear lest he turn out a breaker of his word or else obstinate.

	Constantius of Lyon
		Germanus had been asked by Pope Celestine to act as his envoy in a severe case of heresy, to go to Britain and suppress the Pelagians there, who had corrupted the churches of Britain.
		Germanus, who had been a military commander, possibly on the continental variant of the Saxon Shore, would have been well placed to take on a military command, and the fact that he was not invited (but unopposed) may point to a different role than ‘just’ a visiting bishop!
		Though it has been supposed that Germanus landed somewhere else this time, the reference that he found his flock "as he had left them" may well point to a return to the same locality, whether that was Kent and London or not.

	Bede and the welsh chronicles
		Some time after St. Germanus' return to France, he was informed that a few individuals had begun again to disseminate the perverse opinions of Pelagius in the same island: and he was again solicited by the entreaties of all the clergy, to assert the cause of God, which he had before so nobly defended.

	HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio P. Barbieri
		And while Germanus was no doubt educated, to assume that he demanded the same level of education from all the priests in his service is to ask the evidence to say what it cannot say.
		And a rationale would have to be concocted for why Germanus had not consecrated Patrick himself; to be honest, the idea that he simply sent his pupil along to a neighbouring bishop hardly shows too much imagination.
		Germanus may have loved Apostolic poverty, but, as an educated high-ranking Roman, he would hardly consider promoting the enthusiastic but scarcely Virgilian Patrick beyond presbyter rank; and if Patrick had been ordained by Amator, he must have remained one for at least 25 years, which does not argue tremendous upward mobility.

		St Germanus was known to have 'blessed' Britu, son of Vortigern, a story which was perverted into a scandal of incest.
		Moreover Britu was the son of Vorti(gern), whom Germanus blessed, and whom Sevira bore to him, the daughter of Maximus the king, who killed the king of the Romans.
