Yes, unless you claim that God can act contrary to His nature. Do you?

Of course God can act contrary to His nature. But He will not.

That doesn't really address the situation with us humans, however, which is where the difficulty lies.

He can? God could lie? God could be unjust? God could sin? But He just chooses not to? Is that official RCC dogma?

The Bible says that it is impossible for God to tell a lie, not that He just chooses not to, but that He can't.

That doesn't really address the situation with us humans, however, which is where the difficulty lies.

But it does. Because if God must act according to His nature but we do not. Then we exceed God in our capabilities. In effect making us greater than God in this area.
