I put their own words out there for all to see and decide for themselves.

CB, again, you misunderstand.
From what you have excerpted from the Catechism, you seem to posit that the Catholic and Mormon beliefs regarding men becoming gods is the same. It is not.

It is not the teaching of the Church that there is more than one God, one Almighty, one Creator and that mere men can aspire to be God or attain God’s power and glory by acts of goodwill or piety.

The Mormon belief is “what man is, god once was, what god is, man may become. That belief couldn’t be further from the teaching of the Church. There is not a bit of commonality in the Catholic Catechism on that and what a Mormon believes.

Can’t go into it further now, but will try to later.
