Sorry but I don’t recognize the catechism of your denomination as authoritative
Yeah, but it is....just wait and see!!
“Sorry but I don’t recognize the catechism of your denomination as authoritative”
It’s wise to utterly dismiss it. That same catechism explicitly says, quoting Athanasius, that men will become “God.” The next sentence, quoting Aquinas, says we will become “gods.”
From the Vatican website: Paragraph 460
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

In defense of Rome, something I’m rarely inclined to do, I suspect that’s a poorly worded paragraph. In other words, it cannot be taken at face value (much as most of the quotes we read here daily from Francis), so I wouldn’t take anything else in that catechism at face value either.
The Catechism is a statement of Catholic Faith and it is also an argument. Address the argument.
