Baptist Speaks on Catholic Conversions
It used to be that "Catholic conversions" in this context referred to people becoming Baptist..
Here is a very thoughtful reflection by a Baptist on a recent splurge of Baptist-to-Catholic conversions.
While the gathering of Christ's faithful into a single fold brings joy to the hearts of all true Christians, certainly, this trend does contain an important critique of the Catholic Church: the people who enter the Church are usually, as alluded to by the referenced artile and your own personal experience, Protestant intellectuals--those who really know their faith. People who are ignorant of Christ almost never enter the Catholic Church immediately, and that is a serious and biting critique of the American Catholic Church and a failing which reflects extremely negatively on our ability to share faith in Jesus Christ with others.
