It sounds like you've been listening to EWTN.    Jesus wasn't a scholar either, nor was Peter or John or Moses or the Prophets nor most of the saints.  Are you sure that he didn't have the desire or aptitude?   Maybe the Holy Spirit had other plans for him.   Did you ever consider that?

"..a feeler not a thinker."  Give me a break!  First, there's nothing wrong with being a feeler.  Remember the shortest verse in the gospel,  "He wept."  Remember when Jesus raised the widowed mother's son from the dead?  "Peter, do you love me?",  the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears will have her act be forever memorialized in the gospel.  If there is anything wrong with being a feeler, then you are following the wrong messiah.

Pope Francis talks and writes so that people can understand the love and mercy of God.  God speaks though him and says, "I know your pain".  His principles, concepts, criteria and intellect are dedicated to the work of God which is what matters.
