I was taught about it and it has been a great thing in my life, so I want to give my children the same.
How do you know it's the truth? What if you're wrong?
Don't you think if it was the truth, we'd all be catholics without the need of indoctrination?
How come there are people who will never hear about jesus?

Nope. That's not what 'most likely' will happen. Because you'll tell them YOUR faith is the truth, period. You'll tell them there is a god, won't you? You'll already give them the conclusion you want them to reach. No need to think for themselves.

The irony
Don't you think YOUR family's influences played a big role in your 'perception of things'?
Do you honestly believe you'd be a catholic if you weren't raised catholic?
