DameAgnes Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Apparently St. Joseph of Cupertino was learning disabled and he is the patron for students who struggle.

Luigi Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 John Vianney would be another good one - apparently he barely made it through the seminary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Barely" is an understatement. Not only did he barely make it through, he in fact flunked out once, and almost did so twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 IIRC, his patronage also relates to procrastination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Why not all the Apostles. Didn't Jesus say to them, have I been so long with you, and are you still without knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it suggested that he may have been autistic. I love him for his humility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
