We aren't ignorant when it comes to the teaching of the church leaders.That may be true. It does not show in the conversations, though. I don’t mean that people agree with those teachings, but few questions or comments show an accurate understanding of what the Church teaches.
I wish I could say that growing up in the Church and attending Catholic schools would give a person that accurate understanding. From what I see here and from what I see in my life, it does not. That is especially true with the weak catechesis and overbearing secular messaging of the last 50 years.

Do you think that’s why I’m here?
