We step by faith

CR
Its no wonder that Catholics are starved of intelligence
when they feed it with a wafer.

That is no problem for us:
1 Corinthians 1:19-21

King James Version (KJV)
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

You can have the wisdom of the world. We step by faith (2 Cor 5:7).
