Show me a time in history that this wasn't the case. lol Seriously, 
*everyone* is clueless about some things, a small number though rise 
above the majority, to varied amounts, due to upbringing, or natural 
talent, and often have, in some areas, a far clearer understanding of 
the world than the vast majority. The majority though, tend to look for 
those that confirm their opinion, not those that challenge it (which is 
one of the main traits that distinguish that other minority). This is 
what priesthoods are based on, the careful catering to the 
*expectations* of the parishioner. When churches have, on rare occation, 
gotten uppity and told people they didn't want to hear, the result where 
usually not too good for the church. Though, its a toss up whether this 
has been worse than the cases where they told their followers what they 
wanted to hear, only to have those people later discover it was a lie 
(like a number of fun scandals the US has seen recently, of which the 
Catholics are but one in a broad membership).
