Question Three of Chapter Ten
Whether a less good but more learned soul is more worthy in heaven than a better but less learned soul
It is asked whether a less good but more learned soul in the fatherland is more worthy than a better but less learned soul.
To this it is answered that, in fact, the more learned but less good soul is more excellent in heaven than the less learned but better soul.
Nevertheless, this will be almost nothing in comparison with the other prerogatives which the better but unlearned will possess by enjoying the divine essence better and more clearly.
And thus you should say that the more learned will be more blessed in a qualified respect, but the holier will be more blessed absolutely, as will be evident below.
