No matter how much you post the Scripture that “God hates”, the hate is not attributed to God or hate would part of God’s essence. Hate is an imperfection that is opposite of Love.

The hate your reading into is attributed to the imperfection(sin),not Love (Who God is) and wrath is hatred of that love that torments someone because of sin imperfection

Again, Aquinas proves you wrong... “Everything imperfect must proceed from something perfect: therefore the First Being must be most perfect.

Everything is perfect inasmuch as it is in actuality; imperfect, inasmuch as it is in potentiality, with privation of actuality. That then which is nowise in potentiality, but is pure actuality, must be most perfect; and such is God.

In other words..... The imperfection that proceeds from perfection is not of of God who made all things good..We must therefore arrive at some first good thing, which is not good by participation in reference to anything else, but is good by its own essence; and that is God

Hence the answer given to Moses by the Lord, when he sought to see the divine face or glory: I will show thee all good (Exod. xxxiii, 19).

I gave you scripture...Catholics are free to ignore the scriptures at their own peril . One does not need to believe in the wrath of God to experience it

I wonder what Catholics think Christ suffered on the cross or why He did it..
