Pushing religion on children is a form of child abuse anyway but catholicism takes it to another level.

perhaps some catholic curricula are a bit over zealous, but as a Youth Minister I must admit to taking a bit of offense at that. Kids are more inherently religious than ANY adults I have ever met, and many THRIVE with independent thought and personal growth in a religious education. Kids BEG me to teach them religion, and we have a blast.
