At the risk of "offending" non-Catholics (and this question is truly not meant for you non-Catholics)?

You said, "I feel like I'm interacting with young teenagers, or even pre-teens, who haven't gone past their adolescence"

This is often true - there are a lot of young people here testing out who they are or who they hope to be. There seems to be population shifts, depending on the hour. Day time usually has a significantly better crowd - better questions/answers, better IQs, better personalities, and better informed.

You also said "and certainly lack the in-depth thinking processes, whether that be reflective thinking or intuitive thought, and certainly indicate the lack of much formal education, whether that be academic or religious. They seem stuck in either their adolescent protestations or their "terrible-twos" when they ask questions which are obviously nothing more than attacks on the Roman Catholic Church"

This isn't restricted to a particular age group unfortunately. A lot of the questions here beg confirmation bias, based on opinions formed by pop culture. Religious literacy is a *huge* problem in the US/Great Britain/Australia and it shows. Sometimes- and often transparently -it's nothing more than prejudice. It's considered socially acceptable to slander the Catholic Church, so many do. Many don't in real life, but find an outlet for it here. Sometimes R&S is nothing more than a propagandist circle jerk.

*However* there are quite a few people that ask great questions; more that offer funny, insightful responses and/or support diversity and discourse. It's worth it for the community. It's all about timing and weeding. And really, we never know how the Holy Spirit may decide to use us, making good on those Seven Gifts.

I'm not Catholic, but I'll answer (sort of) anyway.

The reason only sort of is because I don't really follow your question. Paragraphs might have helped, as might a review before posting, and a simple summary at the end of what exactly your question is.

If your question is "do people ask lots of childish questions about Catholicism on R&S", then the answer is of course, yes. But that's not specific to Catholicism - the vast majority of questions on R&S are childish and pointless anyway, so picking out ones directed against your particular sect and suggesting this implies something about everyone else is a game we all can play.

You act as though Roman Catholics alone are mature.

If you would look around, you would see what you describe everywhere.

Believe it or not, there are some mature people who are not Roman Catholics.

If you would just open your eyes, you might even see one now and then.

Sorry about the immature people. That's part of life. Try forgiving them and loving them.
