A very good friend of mine studied in Peking University (one of their premier universities, and one of the best in Asia now apparently) graduated just last year, he says even the "very best and brightest" there, while technically quite competent, are very poor as far as critical thinking and opinionmaking is concerned. They need to do what they're told, and apparently they mostly buy whatever Xinhua/Global Times/other State Media tell them.
Another friend of mine visited Beijing just this January, and he says the same thing. Many of the locals he talked to just simply take the Party/State's word for it regarding most things, and don't bother to question it.
Maybe that's what the Party wanted from the very start, a populace that's taught not to question authority.

Birth controls and knowledge about it is unavailable to general populace, doesn't mean Catholics are extreme. If anything, some Protestant sects are.
The Catholic Church has time and time again prevented the passage of the RH bill and continues to delay the inevitable.
