St. John Vianney is also known as the Cure of Ars. He's the patron of priests, but at one point he was about to leave the seminary, because he couldn't learn Latin. Eventually he overcame the challenge before being ordained. He wasn't really known for having great talents, but nonetheless, during the so called "Year for Priest" in 2010, the pope said he was a great example for all priests because he fulfilled his mission by leading people to Christ.
So the saint patron of the priests wasn't a man of great talents..
