Is that what Catechism teaches? Or is that Catholic dogma? The Bible says otherwise. Do you have a reading comprehension problem or is this post just based upon an anti-Catholic agenda?
NOWHERE in the Bible does Jesus Christ utter the phrase, "I am God."
There is no question that He DID say that He is God, but the lack of an exact quote has lead certain Protestant sects to conclude that He was only the Son of God or some form of "lesser" God. They have also misunderstood Scripture to deny the Trinity.
Where you got the idea that the Catholic Church believes that Christ is not God is beyond me. Perhaps it was from comic books.

The Jews seemed to understand that was what Jesus was saying here:
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. - John 8:58-59
From the Law:
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3:14
And again,
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground. John 18:6
God's Name is I AM.

I asked you a question not made a statement.
But since you asked yes I question considering that the Vatican II council seems to think that Catholics worship the same God as the muslims do.
