Before you go off the rails at someone, you ought to know what your own CCC says about that topic.

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
CCC 795, Christ and his Church thus together make up the "whole Christ" (Christus totus). The Church is one with Christ. The saints are acutely aware of this unity:
Let us rejoice then and give thanks that we have become not only Christians, but Christ himself. Do you understand and grasp, brethren, God's grace toward us? Marvel and rejoice: we have become Christ. For if he is the head, we are the members; he and we together are the whole man. . . . The fullness of Christ then is the head and the members. But what does "head and members" mean? Christ and the Church.230
Our redeemer has shown himself to be one person with the holy Church whom he has taken to himself.231
Head and members form as it were one and the same mystical person.232
A reply of St. Joan of Arc to her judges sums up the faith of the holy doctors and the good sense of the believer: "About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they're just one thing, and we shouldn't complicate the matter."233
Looks like some low-grade morons are running the RCC and writing its catechism.
A former Catholic who knows the RCC catechism. Wasn’t counting on that!
All those references to our “becoming God” and “becoming Christ” are analogical. They mean that we PARTICIPATE in the divine nature, precisely because CHARITY is WHAT GOD IS.
All of the “transcendentals” (Being, truth, good, unity, beauty, holiness, etc.) are always used analogically. That is a rock-bottom basic for understanding any Catholic theological discourse.
None of the cited texts means that any creature literally turns into the (or an) eternal, infinite God.

That notation, at best, is begging to be misunderstood. We have become Christ... well no, obviously not. We’re man, he’s God. You need a catechism to explain the catechism!
I could see “the ambassadors of Christ in the image of Christ.” Or something similar. That would be both biblical and accurate. But the formulation given frankly smells of the theological groping of the early centuries which came up with a lot of things that were ALMOST correct.
And Catholics call others heretics. Wow!
