And of course you don't see that that is not actually a free choice. It is coercion.
Why do you delusional nutters come here?
You have a chritainity section.

The Christianity section is where the bears are put for baiting. A warm up room if you will.

Welcome to skepticism, Aractus. 
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

"Catholicism is a shitty religion to convert to."
So much negativity . . . I would've asked what for, but seeing as this is an atheist forum I'll stay in my limits and promptly take it.
As I said read my earlier post in the ex hindu thread (the one about fruits of the spirit) and perhaps you'll get an idea as to why I chose it

Yeah, we're quite negative about Nazis and the KKK too.
Go figure.

That is a post-facto justification. Those are your views after you've chosen Catholic beliefs. We still have no idea why you chose it in the first place.

Putting aside everything Catholicism teaches, it's a shitty religion because it is the largest organised crime group in the world. You know, all that moving around of pedo priests. Anyone who supports the catholic church is, inadvertently or not, funding and condoning organised crime. I don't know how anyone can rationalise staying with them besides sticking their heads in the sand and just plain denying it.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

I welcomed you as well.
And yeah. You are converting to a religion that claims to have a leader whom is directly talking to god, yet these leaders have a track record of over a thousand years of basically getting everything wrong.
If thats not shitty I don't know what is.
