I’m old enough to remember when we had a Pope who had at least a nominal understanding of the catechism, the Scriptures, and the Church Fathers.
Sadly that memory is becoming increasingly remote.

That makes you at least 11, by my way of calculating. Some people have a hard time remembering things that happen while they are young. That said, in my estimation if you are looking for what you claim, the last Pope who would be able to compete with Benedict would be Pius XI, so maybe you are in your late 80’s or beyond?
