Funny, I had just answered Hobson the other day that God wants us to use ALL of our intellectual capacity to find Him, and more. He wants us to develop every virtue possible in order to better live love as His Son did...and more...He wants us to develop our will in order to do His will as perfectly as humanly possible.

So you missed a big point above...our intellect is given for a reason: Immediate charity.

Apparently you've never read much about St Francis of Assisi.  Or even Pope Francis who both share the same view of the role (and misuses) of theology and the intellect; it can become mere dalliances if not directly tied to our charity.
