>>How could the excerpt I posted have come from Vatican.org when Vatican.org does not exist?<<
I don’t know. Why did you tell us that you did, twice.

Post 533 “The bottom line, however, amidst all this deflection, is that you as a Catholic challenged the words which I posted which were verbatim from the catechism of the Catholic church, via Vatican.org.” (by Dr. E)
(that’s until I posted that some guy in Canada owns Vatican.org)

I’m only cut and pasting posts.
>>Why did you label the exact words of the RCC catechism as a “lie?” <<
Didn’t. Called the “cut and paste” reference a lie, because there were no footnote numbers...see?

>>For the Son of man became man so that we might become God. The only begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods<<
Unless you can provide a link to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and not not the “Let Us Reason” website (which is all that came up on this quote) I would say it’s a lie.

Had it been “Lifted” from the “Catechism of the Catholic Church” it would have had footnote numbers. It came from another site or was doctored to remove reference numbers.
460 The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of the divine nature”:[78] “For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.”[79] “For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.”[80] “The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.”[81]
78 2 Pt 1:4. “by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
79 St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3, 19, 1: PG 7/1, 939.
80 St. Athanasius, De inc. 54, 3: PG 25, 192B.
81 St. Thomas Aquinas, Opusc. 57, 1-4.
I've said I removed the two footnote numbers, like I do when I post from the WCF.
And then I reinserted them and linked to Vatican.va.
None of this explains why when presented with the actual words from the RCC catechism you called them a "lie," nor why you accused me of posting from an anti-catholic website when the words are verbatim from the RCC catechism.
What about those words made you feel uncomfortable, leading you to call them a "lie."
