I found this article that was interesting: http://www.theologicalstudies.org/page/page/1572353.htm
Its written by an evangelical about the number of Christians converting to Catholicism. I thought it's list of top reasons ERC's (Evangelicals converting to Roman Catholicism) convert was very apt. I certainly identified with the top 3 reasons; not so much with the 4th. I grew to accept that.
In addition, ERC's are often led to Catholicism because of certain "crises." These crises may include mystical experiences, the need for healing, family tragedy, or dissatisfaction with life. The most common crisis for ERC's, however, is what McKnight calls "a desire for transcendence." This desire for transcendence usually takes four forms: (1) a desire for certainty; (2) a desire for history; (3) a desire for unity; and (4) a desire for authority.
