Gennadius of Massalia on the Holy Trinity

 "We believe (there) to be One God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost: the Father Him Which has the Son, the Son Him Which has the Father, the Holy Ghost Him Which is from the Father Proceeding, Co-Eternal to the Father and the Son.  The Father therefore is the Origin of Divinity, Who just as at no time was not God thus at no time was not the Father; from Whom the Son is Begotten; from Whom the Holy Ghost, not Begotten (for He is not the Son) neither Unbegotten (for He is not the Father), nor made, but from God the Father Proceeding.  The Father Eternal, Him that has the Eternal Son is that which is the Eternal Father; the Eternal Son, Him that is Co-Eternal to the Father; the Eternal Holy Ghost, Him that is Co-Eternal to the Father and Son: not a confused Trinity in one person, as Sabellius says, neither a Divinity separated or divided in nature, as Arius blasphemed, but the Father in one Person, the Son in another Person, and the Holy Ghost in a Third Person, One Nature in the Holy Trinity, God, Father and Son and Holy Ghost.”

[Gennadius, Presbyter of Marseille (+496), Chapter 1,  Liber Sive DefinitioEcclesiasticorum Dogmatum]

Gennadius treated St. Augustine shabbily?

 

Wikipedia often uncritically repeats entries from the old 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia.  For example, the entry on Gennadius of Massilia, repeats simply what the CE says, under "Attitudes and Views"; it states:

"There are many indications that the author was a Semipelagian in "De Viris illustribus".  Semipleagians are warmly praised (Fastidiosus, lvi, p. 80; Cassian, lxi, 81; Faustus, lxxxv, 89); full Pelagians (Pelagius himself, xlii, 77; Julian of Eclanum, xlv, 77) are heretics; Catholics are treated shabbily (Augustine, xxxviii, 75; Prosper of Aquitania, lxxxiv, 89); even popes are called heretics (Julius I, in i, 61)."

Of course, this particular CE entry copied into Wikipedia word for word comes from the infamous Adrian Fortescue, who wrote the original CE article on Gennadius. 

Off the bat, it seems as if Fortescue is trying to read far too much into Gennadius' entries in "De Viris illustribus" than is actually there, if we are to state it charitably.  Let us actually look at what Gennadius says in the entries.   

Now the numbering of the Chapters is going to be slightly different in the available English translations, but bear with me.
