Dispute About The Young Messiah

The movie based on a novel by Anne Rice which has inexplicably received some endorsements from Roman Catholic bishops and luminaries despite the source material.

CWR: The Magisterium and the Human Knowledge of Christ by Jimmy Akin
A new movie has stirred up controversy about Jesus’ human knowledge. What has the Church traditionally taught on the subject, and how is the teaching expressed today?

An opposing view, one that is more "traditional," i.e. Thomistic: Developmental Divinity: a Review of “The Young Messiah” by Brad Miner

The human intellect, taken in abstraction, is in potency to knowledge. Is it fitting that the Divine subject of the human intellect that is assumed into His person, the Divine Son, should be ignorant as man that the subject of His human intellect is Divine? When Jesus Christ speaks, is it the Son who speaks or a human nature? Are we dealing with some modern, weaker version of Nestorianism?
